Conflicting Changes - Evernote cannot be open on more than one device at any one time

[JoLip 15]

It's impossible to use Evernote for office purposes as conflicting changes appear if Evernote is open on more than one device resulting in duplicate versions of each note. 

I need to instruct my PA not to open Evernote on my laptop or my iPad simultaneously - otherwise conflicting changes will appear.

I also always need to make sure Evernote on my iMac/Laptop is closed if I want to check something on my IOS device.

Conflicting changes also doesn't always show up at the time of simultaneous use....it may not let me know at all, ever......and I just have to notice that there are duplicate files. Or it will show up a few weeks later.

Hope this bug can be fixed VERY SOON!

Somehow I must be born on a lucky day. Usually I have EN open on Mac & Mac & iPad & iPhone, and nothing will happen. There is a small risk when touching the same note at the same time on several devices.

EN Personal or Professional is not made to be used by more than a single person. If your work flow makes it necessary to include your PA, you have 2 options:

- Get him/her an account as well, and share the relevant notebooks from your account, or

- set up an EN Teams account.

I also frequently have Evernote open on multiple devices at the same time (any combination of iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows and Web) and I don't have conflicting changes unless I edit the same note on a different device before that note has fully synced -- this seems to especially be the case for me with mobile (Desktop and Web seem to be better/faster at syncing for me). I don't believe I've ever had a conflict issue by just opening Evernote on another device at the same time.
