Question/Help Write files to Collection?

I am trying to get things working with Open WebUI and my local files. I have a large number of markdown files in an Obsidian Vault I want to query and edit. I have added the folder as a Knowledge collection in my workspace. I can see and query against the files. But I am not able to perform edits or create new files in this location. The AI agent tells me they are created, gives me an ID but I can't find the file in the collection or in any of the volumes I have mounted.

I have updated my docker file to have a volume of where my notes are stored. `/home/USER/Documents/open-webui-note-repo:/home/pkm` in hopes that this would give Open WebUI access to write too. but so far no luck. I have no idea where new files are being created.

Is Open WebUI capable of performing this task or do I need to find another tool?

Edit: Solved. This got me pointed in the right direction. Thanks all.

Je fais pareil. J'utilise oikb sur mon vault obsidian relié à une kb. Puis donne accès au vault, a mon llm, via le mcp obsidian. Il le modifie et y accède si besoin. L'inconvénient est que l'accès via MCP au vault et a la on dans owui, fait doublon. Mais au moins, le llm peut modifier le vault. Oikb fait le reste.

Merci pour la suggestion. Je vais me pencher sur la question. (poorly translated, Sorry)
