Index page from v1 is broken under v2

warg · September 8, 2026, 2:00pm

Hi,

I just updated from Silverbullet v1 to v2. It seems to work fine and I just did the first changes to convert old, no longer supported queries to the new format. One thing I noticed is that the index page is broken as the include referencing !silverbullet.md/Getting Started is no longer rendered:

How do I restore the current index page to the nowadays v2 default content (like recreating it)?

I found no example how it should look nowadays nor how to fix it manually. Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,

The current v2 starter page is here:

You can replace your existing index page with that file’s contents. SilverBullet won’t recreate it automatically in an existing space: the default index is only seeded when the space contains no Markdown files.

That worked, thank you.
