jnorman000 1 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 So this morning i wanted to add a quick line to a note that i have been updating daily for several months now. I thought it would do that "stupid little block thing" and then i could fix it later. Instead, when the note came up it was blank, I entered my data for today on the fly, and was done with it. I thought all was cool. I just got home to start working on notes on the desktop client and the entire note had been erased!!!!! AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!! My old data is not in the trash bin, it is not in conflicting changes, it is nowhere to be found. What the hell?? If I hadn't paid for this I might let it slide (and I certainly would be keeping my data elsehwere). Any thoughts? And possibility of salvage?
Owyn 457 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 You should be able to get the previous version from note history.
jnorman000 1 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 OMFG! that is brilliant!! i owe you one big time because you just recovered about two months of data points for me. i had no idea that feature even existed. i should take a class because obviously this "little charming app" has way more to it than meets the eye.any idea why the android client would eat it? never had a problem with the ipad app or the desktop, but it seems the android on my droid x is best used as a "view only" client.
Owyn 457 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 No idea why the problem occurred.It would be worthwhile to see if the problem is reproducible on a copy of the note. If so then you shouldExport the problem note to ENEX formatSubmit a support request. See my signature for link.
jnorman000 1 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 Didn't do it this morning. I will keep trying. Thanks for the assistance. When the note came up blank immediately (without the little circle rotating showing that it was downloading the info) then I should have known something was up. Thanks again.
Bartman001 14 Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Problems Like this one is exactly why I don't autosync between clients. If I have a problem with a note, I can go to one of my other clients and duplicate the note to protect the information before being synced.

How can I access this?
jnorman000 1 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 not sure if it is premium only feature, but on my desktop client it is at the bottom of the View menu.
Owyn 457 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Access to Note History is a Premium feature. I don't think the feature is currently implemented in the Android client. (Need to check).You can retrieve previous versions of notes using the Web client.Knowledge Base: https://support.ever...?questionID=583....Checked. Note History is available from Mac or Windows desktop clients or the Web client. Not supported in current stable Android client.
Mark923 26 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Ah, thanks, that would have been perfect. Alas, I'm not a Premium user.
Owyn 457 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Note History is saved for all users. A one month upgrade to Premium ($5 US) will give you immediate access to your Note History plus the other premium features.

How can I access this?This has just happened to me. And I'm not a premium user. Is there anyway for me to get an older version reinstated through support? I note that I could just pay for 1 month's premium access but I'd prefer not to if it's all the same...
