# Overview

`docs/obsidian.md` names two vaults. The vault a person already has is the **workshop**, and nothing in it is moved or migrated. The bundle is the [exhibition](exhibition.md): the checked part of what the workshop knows, and the part that teammates, CI and agents read. It opens as a small vault of its own, and the two never index the same file ([open the knowledge bundle in Obsidian](../playbooks/open-bundle-in-obsidian.md)).

Opening the bundle through its [doorway](doorway.md), never at the host's root, is what keeps the workshop clean, as ktl-docent's `references/obsidian.md` says.
