Steps to reproduce
- Install obsidian
- Open the sandbox vault

Guides/Link notes.md - Scroll to the last numbered list, which has 3 items.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Yes
Expected result
Contents of that list should be the same as in the obsidian-help github repo, which has 4 items.
Actual result
The note in the sandbox vault is outdated, having only 3 items. Seems its using a version of the note before commit e010b49.
Here’s the differences between the file in the vault and the repo:

Additional information
I ran a diff between the vault’s files and the files in the github repo and seems other files are also outdated. The results of the diff are here: pastebin. com/eX6Yr8yq. (Had to format like this because the forum didn’t let me insert links)
I also installed Obsidian through Arch’s official package repositories. Not sure if that would cause the issue, but someone else on Discord confirmed that they also had the outdated files.
