adamnyc 10 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I merged 10 new notes and only the first one is kept while the rest disappear. I did this twice and same problem. I'm using the latest version 10.14.7 on a new MacBook Pro M1. What makes this more infuriating is I'm seeing this has been a constant problem and obviously the new versions are not correcting this. Meanwhile I keep seeing new features added that I have no need for, or worse, get in the way of what I'm trying to do. This seems like a problem that should be priority 1 for Evernote to fix. I shouldn't have to downgrade or run two installations to make sure I haven't lost information. If keeping the notes I make aren't the core function of this software, I'm not sure what is. This should be fixed immediately — and a warning should go out to users about it. Yes, I was able to find the lost notes in the trash, but that's because I had double check the notes were missing in the first place, and then go looking for them. Neither should have been necessary. This software is useless if I have to worry about notes going missing at all. 1 Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,070 Posted May 29, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted May 29, 2021 Yup - already reported in other threads... may help if you can raise a support ticket and share your logs with them. It's a new bug in the new software and agreed it shouldn't do that, but it will be fixed, and you could help. https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new Link to comment
adamnyc 10 Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Gazumped — I am happy to help, I WANT the software to be successful, not to waste time complaining about it. And I'll do what you suggest. I just think for a problem of this magnitude, they should be coming to us with a warning and request for our logs/whatever if they need it to fix it. I'd expect an email saying "don't merge your notes until we fix this — and thanks for your patience." 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,819 Posted May 29, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted May 29, 2021 From one of the other threads I remember the information that this happens when the notes to be merged contain web clipped content. Maybe you could check whether this is true in your case as well ? 1 Link to comment

They're probably still trying to figure out whether it is an actual issue - and with users into the millions, the last thing they need is a flood of logs hitting their servers! Link to comment
lhb 66 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Merging of notes definitely needs to be improved. It also seems to me that functionality such as including the original author or URL of the individual notes are now missing. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,819 Posted June 21, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 21, 2021 It was a reported bug that content disappeared when there were web containers, from clipping. Other content was merging. Clearly a bug - I have send a support ticket. It was acknowledged and said it would be fixed with a future release. At the moment don’t merge notes with clipped content. As a workaround you can create note links, and link the notes together. 1 Link to comment
vark 1 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 This just happened to me also. There weren't any web containers in my notes, just text & bulleted lists. I'm on a PC with the latest version of Evernote. Link to comment
