Pixelscapes 2 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Same problem, I foolishly updated and now ALL my notes are view-only. I don't have Evernote open on any other devices. I tried reinstalling, logging in and out, etc. I can't attach an activity log because Evernote claims there are no logs. Link to comment
jdeak 0 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hi folks. This just happened to me on my laptop. My desktop is still running the old version and not having this problem. And like you both, this is a Windows 10 machine. Link to comment
Andy Wybenga 1 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 This happened to me today after I was updated to Evernote 10.1.7 (v 10.1.7 build 1902 public, Editor: v109.0.14125, Service: v1.20.26). After the update, many of my existing notes have been set as View Only. I found that I can get around this by adding a Tag to the note (thanks to a thread on the same issue reported here for iOS), but it's still an annoying bug. Hopefully a fix for Windows will be available soon. Link to comment

The latest version is 10.6.9. I have no idea why you have been updated to 10.1.7. I would update to the latest version and perhaps try the web version which should automatically be upto date. 1 Link to comment

I did a "Check for Updates" when the problem happened to see if there was a fix, but it told me that 10.1.7 is the newest version available. I've manually downloaded 10.6.9, and the problem seems to have gone away. I don't know how I ended up on an older version of Evernote. My computer did a reboot due to Windows updates, and there was a message saying my Evernote had been updated when I logged back in, and it had me at version 10.1.7. Thanks again for the help. 1 Link to comment
lml9 2 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I just got this "View Only" issue on 6.26.2021 on an Evernote Basic note on my Android phone. Have not yet ck'd it out on my Mac as I am afraid it will sync. I do not remember updating it this week. Please help. 2 Link to comment
pdoherty 1 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I just started seeing this behavior on version 10.12 on Android. What's weird is that I just used it this morning for the first time in weeks/months to update the same note I'm now unable to update. Force quitting the app and clearing cache didn't make a difference. 1 Link to comment
Alissa Pienkowski 0 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just got the 10.12 and now my notes keep being "view only" - I'm on an iphone After a awhile and for no apparent reason sometimes at some point I become able to edit. Other times it stays that way! How do I fix?!?! Link to comment
Catrina 28 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Also got "View Only" issue on 6.27.2021 on Evernote Basic on a 6-months old Samsung Galaxy/Android phone running version 10.12. Constantlly restarting PHONE then app will allow note editing for several minutes, then notes return to View only. How can I disable the View Only mode? I'm an Evernote user since 2013 & it always worked flawlessly until the update to the awful ver. 10. Link to comment
pdoherty 1 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I'm seeing the same behavior as others. I'll be able to edit the note sometimes but not others. It's worth noting that I'm able to edit the note in question on the web while it's still locked in the Android app, so the issue seems to live at the mobile app level and not on the back-end.

Catrina 28 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Can we PLEASE GET A STAFF MEMBER TO ADDRESS THIS? I also got "View Only" issue on 6.27.2021 on Evernote Basic on a 6-months old Samsung Galaxy/Android phone running version 10.12. Constantly restarting PHONE then app will allow note editing for several minutes, then notes return to View only. Any fix for this intolerable behavior? Or can I permanently disable the View Only mode? The "Edit Protection" function is turned OFF (not ticked) in Settings. I'm an Evernote user since 2013 & it always worked flawlessly until the initial update to the awful ver. 10. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,802 Posted July 1, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted July 1, 2021 No, we probably can’t expect this. EN staff only rarely shows up in the forum. From the number of posts mentioning it, I am pretty sure that EN support is triggered on this already. A fix most likely means a new release. Since the notes are not permanently locked, I think it will be treated with a regular release. The next one will probably be published in 3-4 weeks, since 10.12 just hit the AppStores last week. As a workaround (at least for me on iOS) the note usually unlocks after I closed and reopened it. Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted July 2, 2021 Evernote Expert Share Posted July 2, 2021 We seem to have switched forums... The most recent comments seem to relate to the Android application. I'm not aware of anyone reporting this behaviour in the Windows desktop but I expect them to chip in anytime soon. This issue is being discussed in the Android forum and a staff member has pitched in to say they are aware. Link to comment
