I did. No idea how to alter the preferred data format in the config.edn file given the documentation.

When Googling the errror "logseq you must re-index your graph for this change to take effect", this discussion is the first thing in results, which, while indirectly linking to which button to click in the UI, doesn't actually explain what's going on at all.

This is a really bad way to greet new users, especially when immediately after this message appears, it blocks another part of the UI I'm trying to understand, leading me to close the message while trying to figure out other things. Also, because I can just dismiss the message which is of critical importance, it means I'm misled into thinking I'm in a stable state when apparently I'm not?

Because I don't know what this is, or why this manual step is needed , I've now made a bunch of edits, and now that I find out what it really means, I see that a lot of what I've typed in will now be deleted when I re-index, amd also the program isn't actually saving my edits to file right now, which is very confusing.

Why is graph being used as a noun for all notes (as far as I can tell) while also being used to mean a visual graph? Why does the visual graph show nothing despite me entering text? On a different computer I was briefly trying to understand this program and created multiple pages, but still the graph shows nothing even though orphans should appear (I checked the Nodes settings).

I'm also curious why it made two entries automatically, both with today's date but one with the new format and one with the old format?

For context of the text currently in that screenshot: The upper note had 3 lines of text on it before changing the date format. After restarting the program because I couldn't figure out how to make it re-index, I had two entries, which I couldn't interact with for a while. Suddenly they both became editable, so I started writing down questions as I tried to understand what is going on here. (Why does it not warn you about needing to re-index after a restart? That's really misleading. As far as I can tell without digging into the files myself, everything is being saved - but it isn't!)

After reading the warning from clicking the re-index button, I see that everything in the 1st half will be preserved (as it is in the Markdown file created by the program already), but the 2nd half will be completely erased?! It seems wild to me that this is expected behavior.

Also in the same menu as Re-index, there's "Refresh" which says "Import changes from local files". This also sounds like it will destroy the notes I've written down so far that aren't saved? What's the difference between Refresh and Re-index? The UI does not make it clear at all what the difference is.

I just think it's kinda crazy that the new-user experience doesn't explain any of this, and apparently it was this confusing 2 years ago. What has changed? Why is it still like this for someone who has no idea what/how this program is supposed to work?

(The note about Zotero is because I clicked on it trying to figure out how to disable or remove it, but it seems like there isn't a way to? So now there's a default profile that I didn't want.)
