Issues with syncing

I am just trying to keep this “Out of Sync” error from popping up whenever I turn on Syncthing to sync the two together.

One way to do this is by ignoring some Obsidian files, like already suggested by @gadget .

It’s been a while since I used Obsidian, but I recall it has a local index database and cache.

So although the notes are stored in individual Markdown files that are only changed on the PC side, Obsidian on the tablet is indexing, caching content and maintaining its own settings.

Adding some ignore patterns for the Syncthing folder should smooth the out-of-sync issues (if not completely fix it).

See the following Obsidian help page for tips: Sync your notes across devices - Obsidian Help

Another way it to use the Syncthing API to revert local changes programmatically. Read more here: Revert Local Changes from command line?

Either way you have some work to do, because the use case you seem to be after (synchronized copy which shall revert local changes) is something which Syncthing cannot do out of the box. This is a conscious design decision. Your use case is natively supported by e.g. rsync.
