mjv654 0 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I was trying to copy/paste text from one note into another. I must have accidentally copied some blank text in between, and thus lost all the copied text. Command-Z (I'm on a Mac) did not undo it, and when I tried clicking Info-->View history, I get a "permission denied" error. Since I'm probably not the first person who's made this copy/paste typing error, I have to imagine there's a way to recover the lost text. Could someone reading this clarify how to do so? Thanks in advance. Link to post
Level 5* CalS 4,681 Posted November 6, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted November 6, 2018 Once the note is modified there is no way to recover the original without a backup or using the history feature. Sign up for premium for a month and use note history to get a backup of the note. Does not work if the note has been deleted. Link to post
mjv654 0 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Being able to retrieve accidentally lost data (or backing it up) is a fairly basic feature for any text-based app, even for unpaid usage. I'd email Evernote to suggest this myself, but unfortunately even emailing their support team is only an option for premium/paying users. Link to post

On my Mac, I have TimeMachine running and personal backups using Evernote's export feature Command-z usually works if I access it immediately >>I'd email Evernote to suggest this myself, but unfortunately even emailing their support team is only an option for premium/paying users All accounts can contact support on Twitter @evernotehelps Evernote also provides these forums for users to post feature requests. https://discussion.evernote.com/forum/304-general-feature-requests/?do=add Link to post
