jbellamyy 0 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I am just using basic but I shared the link to a note with a group of people. It doesn't have the "save to Evernote" button at the bottom of the note on mobile? I'm newer to Evernote. For the past year I've only saved notes from a link my friend created. When I get the shared link and send it it doesn't have the same "save to Evernote" button his notes do? Mine just have a View on iphones. My android friends see a locked symbol??? I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just because I have basic? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,057 Posted October 11, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hi. If you're saying that someone else is sharing notes to you, and you're sharing them on to others, you may not have permission to 'edit and invite'. You may only have permissions to view or to edit. If you create your own notes in your own account and share those on, you'll be able to allocate those permissions. Link to comment
Echoreflection 15 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I have been encountering this issue on occasion with notes that I've clipped on Android using the share-picker. Relatively rarely though. But still frustrating when it happens. Link to comment

Note content that is 'shared' to Evernote can include characters that can't be edited by Evernote's standard editor. You could copy the content into another editor and copy it back from there (possibly into a new note) to strip out hidden characters... 1 Link to comment
Echoreflection 15 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I actually solved the problem by duplicating the note into another notebook. It seems a note can be "locked" in one notebook but not locked in another! Link to comment
Echoreflection 15 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Update though, the fact that the duplicated notes' original copy is still "locked" and apparently can never be unlocked is exceedingly frustrating and lame. :[ Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,057 Posted March 30, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hmmn. Nice catch with the 'duplication', though why not just duplicate into the same notebook and delete the original??? Link to comment
touchbasekc@yahoo.com 0 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 How do you duplicate a note??? especially if you can't edit it. the problem with copying it without editing it, is it wipes out the paragraphs and jumbles it all up into one glob Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,057 Posted March 31, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted March 31, 2018 In Windows I can right-click the title (in the left window) and 'duplicate note' without trying to edit it - you could also try exporting a note to ENEX and re-importing it.. although I don't know whether that would remove a read-only block.

Shekinah 0 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Here is what worked for me! Hopefully it works for you too. 🙂 Step 1. View the note on another device or through a different avenue. Example: if you are experiencing the issue while in the app, open Evernote in the browser (just a heads up - apparently Evernote is not supported on Android browsers. So if you're an Android user, you may have to log on using another device like a laptop or another phone with the Evernote app downloaded). If you are experiencing the issue while in a browser, open Evernote in the app. I personally was using Evernote through the app on my phone when I experienced the issue, and then opened it in the browser on my laptop. Step 2. The note should be editable. Make a change to the note. Anything works -- all I did was add a period to the beginning of the note. Then save the changes and refresh. You can delete any changes you make later.Step 3. Refresh your notes in the original device you were using. Step 4. There should now be two notes in the original device. One should be titled as normal, and the other should say "Note conflict" at the beginning of the note title. Step 5. The "Note conflict" version should contain your most recent changes to the note before the read-only or view-only issue happened. Step 6. Copy and paste any new changes from the "Note conflict" note to the other normally titled note.Step 7. The "Note conflict" note can now be deleted, and the originally titled note can be used as normal. YAHWEH bless you! Link to comment
