User Story

As a user,

I want to be able to view the properties (frontmatter) of a note inserted into a canvas,

So that I can understand the note’s metadata without having to switch to editing mode.

Context: This should be possible by default or through configuration, ensuring it caters to diverse user preferences.

Acceptance Criteria

  1. When a note is present in a canvas and is not being edited, I should be able to see the note’s properties without needing to edit it.
  2. The system should allow me to configure whether I want to see the properties by default in the canvas or not.
  3. The system should respect the “Properties in document” display preferences.
  4. Properties should only be visible in the note if the “Show the entire file” display option is chosen.
