0 buckethead 221 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Curious how it’s blocking things for you and on what device? I’ve not had it block anything and is just a + until I touch it on any device. screenshot? Link to comment
0 DStevens 2 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I am having the same problem. Here's a screen shot of what mine is blocking (it blocks regardless of full-screen or not). I cannot use the search, access anything behind the box. I want to like it but really, I also want to be able to use Evernote. Hope someone can answer. Thanks. Evernote for Mac release 10.15.6 Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,922 Posted June 7, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 7, 2021 AFAIK you are right in the tutorial that started itself when you opened the new version. It wants to show you the essentials of the new function. Check around, the tutorial master is somewhere on your screen. Click through it or dismiss it. When you completed it, it will not come back. 1 Link to comment
0 DStevens 2 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Indeed it was a stuck tour. I restarted it and finished it. Now the little box is gone. Yay! On my Mac it was Option Command 3 to restart. Thanks! 1 Link to comment
0 Raghavendra87 0 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I updated to the latest version, and I cant hide this popup/bar. It is always there, so annoying. I want it to go. Link to comment
0 L Guru 1 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) This is completely disabling my use of Evernote. Please help. Sure I am not the only one. Edited June 9, 2021 by L Guru to show screenshot 1 Link to comment
0 lhodges26 2 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 A new widget is showing up, but I can't close or move it (see below). It's covering up the tool bar to the left. Any ideas? Thx. 1 Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,922 Posted June 9, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 9, 2021 You are probably in the tutorial. Any box around on the screen with a confirm & continue ? Once the tutorial is done, it returns to the normal behavior. Link to comment
0 lhodges26 2 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Unfortunately, I don't see anything like that. I've clicked all the buttons in that box, it's added note/tasks etc. but it's not going away. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,922 Posted June 9, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Maybe somebody else here has an idea. Or ask support - can be done by ticket, or as well through the chat. Link to comment
0 PDrew 2 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 same issue here. cannot lose this window, and it covers up my shortcuts, and as you can see, even a note when the sidebar is hidden. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,922 Posted June 9, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Maybe you have not yet finished the tasks tutorial. Check if you have a blue box somewhere awaiting some clicks. Else uninstall, reinstall, and see if it goes away. There are other similar threads, AFAIK yet not resolved. Link to comment
0 Ex Employees Scott T. 662 Posted June 9, 2021 Ex Employees Share Posted June 9, 2021 @Gregory Miller @DStevens I'm trying to get to the bottom of this issue. Can you please answer a few questions for me? What platform you are using? Was your navigation bar collapsed to just show icons? That's the only way I have been able to reproduce this so far. Did this happen right after you had the Tasks on-boarding experience? If you restart your app, does the problem go away? Link to comment
0 DStevens 2 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 @Scott T. I use MacOS Big Sur 11.4 with Evernote 10.15.6. I rebooted several times for other reasons. I had the navigation both expanded and collapsed and the box just kept sticking around. Mine only left when I retook the tour for the new tasks feature. 1 Link to comment
0 Ex Employees Scott T. 662 Posted June 10, 2021 Ex Employees Share Posted June 10, 2021 Thank you @DStevens. I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. We're actively investigating the issue and looking into how we can best solve it for our users, both in the short-term and long-term. Currently, users can generally get around the problem by either quitting and restarting the app, or signing out and in. Worst case scenario, a reinstall seems to solve the problem, but that should hopefully not be necessary. Link to comment
0 peterfranklin56 0 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Had the same problem yesterday - starting the demo again seemed to solve it. Link to comment
0 lhodges26 2 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 @Scott T. Windows Was your navigation bar collapsed to just show icons? Yes Did this happen right after you had the Tasks on-boarding experience? Yes If you restart your app, does the problem go away? No I did finally get the problem fixed. I signed out of my account, chose Remove my data from this device, and then signed back in. That seemed to fix the problem. Thanks! Link to comment
0 dustov 11 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 SORRY I AM USUALLY NOT A SCREAMER (ALL CAPS) BUT THIS NEW "TASKS" UPDATE HAS ME REALLY PI**** OFF! THERE IS THIS LITTLE POP-UP WINDOW FOR THE NOTES AND TASKS THAT IS BLOCKING THE THE SIDE BAR AND NOTE LIST NEXT TO IT AND I CAN FIND NO WAY TO MOVE IT OR TURN IT OFF! I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS UPDATE AND SO FAR HATE IT. THE AGREEMENT YOU HAVE TO SIGN IS VERY OVERBEARING. Maybe I will come to like this feature but for now it is a nuisance. HOW DO I MOVE OR CLOSE THIS LITTLE WINDOW? I have attached a screen shot of it. Link to comment
0 dustov 11 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I am having same problem. I didn't ask for this update and felt insulted by the overbearing agreement we had to sign. Maybe I will find a use for this new feature, but for now, it is just a nuisance. Link to comment
0 dustov 11 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Having same problem. Tasks is just a nuisance for me with that widget or whatever it is in the way. 1 Link to comment
0 dustov 11 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Ok, I got rid of it by signing out of Evernote and checking the box to remove data from this computer. Then rebooted the computer, got a big Win 10 update, signed in again to Evernote, but this time, when the tutorial window introducing the Evernote "Tasks" update appeared, I clicked, "Maybe Later". 1 Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,922 Posted June 10, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Thumbs up - that was posted today as solution in another thread. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,922 Posted June 10, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 10, 2021 If you search the forum you might have found this solution: Uncheck the keep my data on logout in settings . Log out. Quit the App (not only close it, use the menu to really quit) If you want to go 150%, restart the computer Open EN again, maybe it will pull an update, log in and you should be good to go Link to comment
0 dustov 11 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Yes, it was lhodges26 in the "Get Early Access to Tasks" part of the forum who suggested singing out and back in, but, he did not include the computer reboot and clicking thru the Tasks Tutorial popup. Link to comment
0 KayDub 0 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Thanks! I had this problem today too. Signing out of Evernote, checking box to remove data from this computer, then signing back in -- did the trick! I didn't have to reboot the PC. Link to comment
0 RandomHavoc 2 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I just wanted to let you know that even after completing the tour, if you click back on Tasks (beta), the same issue occurs until you close the application from running then start it again. Link to comment
0 Level 5 Shane D. 1,826 Posted June 10, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 10, 2021 @dustov Thanks for reaching out, and for letting us know. Our development team is aware of this issue and working on a fix. This issue happens when the left navigation menu is minimized and clicking on the green **+** button menu results in a pop-up that cannot be closed. While absolutely not ideal, here is a workaround that resolves most cases: 1. Go to **File > Sign Out [name]** from the menu bar. 2. Select the "Remove my Evernote data from this device" option, then click **Sign out**. 3. Restart your computer. 4. Sign back in to Evernote. Please let me know if you're still having trouble after following the steps above. Link to comment
0 kate33 0 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 since I updated to early access ... left side bar as below hide my favorite shortcut(notebooks) link .... and I can't remove the note and task bar... is there anyway I can remove or move to other side? so I can see my Link to comment
0 Reinald 8 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hi, exactly the same is happening at my Evernote, after I installed the new Task feature this morning. I restarted Evernote, but it is still there. I can't access the buttons behind the big notes and tasks square. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,922 Posted June 11, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 11, 2021 A little forum search (even just going up in this thread) would reveal: Deselect in settings the option to keep your data on logout Log out of your account Quit the app (not only close, quit through the menu) To be sure, restart your computer (some posts say it was necessary, other just quitted the app) Start the app. Maybe there will be some updating activity, let it run Log in. It will now sync some data, better wait until this has finished. The popup window now should be gone, not to return. 1 Link to comment

0 Greenlaw 3 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Ugh! Yes, it's maddening. I'm clicking around trying to figure out how to complete/close this 'tutorial' popup window. Thanks for the tip but when I try to sign out, the window is blocking the sign-out window. I'm sure I'll get rid of it in a minute but it's pretty annoying. BTW, my system is Windows 10. Ok, was able to sign out from the menu. 😛 Link to comment
0 Greenlaw 3 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Hi, I'm back up and running. Quick question: Does this mean we should avoid clicking the blue 'Early Access' button until this issue is resolved? Will we be notified when this happens? Curious to try but gun-shy about clicking on that now. Thanks in advance for any info. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,922 Posted June 12, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 12, 2021 To me the screenshot posted above does not look like the iOS client at all. About which client are we talking here ? Link to comment
0 Greenlaw 3 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Ah, I see now...simply do not click on Take Tour and set it to not show it again, and all is good. Link to comment
0 sany 2 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I have the same issue , and I have no words for the mediocrity that evernote has sunk to. Link to comment
0 antjemeyer 0 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 How did you solve the problem? I don't know how to start the tour again. Any tips? Thanks heaps! Link to comment
0 rmedellin 1 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Thanks for the tip! Singing out of Evernote without removing the data, or rebooting, from the computer also closed the pop-up. 1 Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 8,922 Posted June 18, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 18, 2021 This is a bug. To solve it, here what seems to work in most cases. log out of EN in the client Then quit the app through the menu (not just closing with the X) Restart the app Log into your account The Side bar should now be back to normal.
