Holger Degroot 5 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I started a note at 8:00 this morning and last edited it at 18:00. Then I closed it. In the document there were 20 tasks with a title that I assigned myself. After I closed the note, the sync mechanism corrupted the document and resets it to 8:00. There are about 20 note histories and versions, but they all have the same and same state as at 8 o'clock, so virtually a whole day's work is gone. Have you also had this experience? For me, the problem occurs since the 10.5x.xx since Evernote has released the new sync mechanism for collaborative work. I've opened a ticket with support, but so far I haven't received much help. The dashboard shows notes as changed that I haven't changed in weeks or months, other than reading them. It seems that somehow every document is always updated just then, whether or not the content has been actively edited. Evernote is breaking documents. Who knows of a workaround? Does it do any good to go to older clients that don't support the sync mechanism? 1 Link to comment

Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,004 Posted June 7, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Welcome to the forums, @Holger Degroot. Others have reported loss of content also, and we have been told that Evernote programmers are actively investigating the problems. Just regarding notes being marked as "updated" simply for having viewed them, this is also a known issue that they are working on. Link to comment
Paul A. 675 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Just experienced my first data loss. Not happy about this, Evernote. 🤬 Keeping my data safe is the #1 job of any electronic app, especially one that purports to be my elephant memory. 6 1 Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted June 8, 2023 Evernote Expert Share Posted June 8, 2023 Of course. Neither is Evernote happy. The data loss issue is getting the highest attention along with the note loading. I"m told that support tickets together with logs, note ID, date & time are really valuable. Link to comment
MvdH 487 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I experience this too. Notes losing entered changed clearly there in the editor, and when closign the window reverting to an older version. This is horrible. It suddenly makes the delays on openign notes, changing tags and other productivity killing slowness very acceptable. Thx for you info @agsteele. I'll be following the forums and this post carefully. 1 Link to comment
Jon/t 1,647 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 10.58.3 has arrived. Grab it from the EN download page if you don't want to wait for the update. It mentions some RTE and sync fixes. 2 2 Link to comment
Solution Holger Degroot 5 Posted June 9, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted June 9, 2023 Hi, yes I can tell that this version fixes some known errors and misbehaviours from previous versions. Tested it yesterday to known environment issues and now they seem to be finally fixed and working as expected again. https://cdn1.evernote.com/boron/win/builds/Evernote-10.58.3-win-ddl-ga-4147-15f90978ea-setup.exe Cheers Holger 5 Link to comment
bmcl26 571 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Try downloading the new update 10.58.3, early days but I have just updated and looks like it is working a lot faster on the "old Notes" update (most only taking one to two secs) so might also help with other issues people are having.

Looks like a major improvement. 3 Link to comment
bmcl26 571 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Looks like the latest update has fixed the Pinned Notes opening at the bottom bug as well. 1 1 Link to comment
Piter_Vi 0 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I am experiencing the same issue, first time in years I am loosing information and tasks written in my notes. Link to comment
Mishkafofer 31 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Ohh great. I was preparing some notes with family medical and legal documents. Guess i need to review ALL the notes from past 2 weeks and see anything missing. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,758 Posted June 11, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted June 11, 2023 You can always decide to panic 🙀 Personally I had no loss of data, I did have this annoying wait when opening some notes (and none with others). I think data loss was a different root cause, probably leading to this „low on memory“ warning that came with the latest release 10.58.3. I doubt it was widespread. But sure, just go checking, nothing wrong with this. I prefer to use my Import Folders for these uploads. They keep a copy of the documents, serving as a potential backup. 1 Link to comment
KAB11 0 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I spent 2 hours on a plane writing detailed notes on my iPad (iPadOS version 16.5). Now that I am back online the note is gone. Have logged a support ticket. This is for a meeting tomorrow 😔 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,758 Posted June 12, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted June 12, 2023 In general when on an extended editing session, interrupt it every time it seems adequate, and leave the note briefly. This will wrap the editing towards the server, and makes it save and sync, even if something did not go well in between. Then reopen the note, and continue. Link to comment
darrenbuttoniow 23 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I have been having the above issues now for about a week and half. Notes not syncing, losing content and tasks out of sync. I have used Evernote since 2011 and these issues have made my question my reliance on the product. I currently pay for Professional and my life is in there. I use it over 3 machines and they all show something slightly different at present. The support team are working on my case, like many others but Evernote needs to restore my trust. Yet over the last 10 days I have had to use backup methods, mainly Google Drive to ensure I have stuff when I need it. What are your backup methods? Link to comment
