HenryV 4 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Intending to delete a contiguous range of notes, I inadvertently selected 4500 notes because the current record was not what I thought it was. As soon as I pressed delete, I recognized the problem, went to the trash and restored. Even without the major mess I made, it doesn't seem to me that restoring a note from trash should change the "updated" date. Or, at least the option given to keep it the same or update.

Tractorman 9 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I have asked before that they implement an improvement to have an optional "are you sure?" before a delete command is executed. It is too easy to delete a record simply by brushing against the delete key and not know you have done it. You would not have had your problem if this improvement was made Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,130 Posted September 10, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'd imagine (haven't tested) that a note loses its history when sent to Trash as well. Don't know if restoring the note also restores the history, but in addition to the above I think it should. Basically please either re-think the whole process or just add the 'are you sure' step because a minor mistake can be a major problem to fix.

Level 5 jbenson2 2,149 Posted September 10, 2016 Level 5 Share Posted September 10, 2016 This issue is another reason why adding a date code prefix YYMMDD to each title is beneficial. There are several other reasons to use a title date code. Until Evernote programs a solution, the title date code can be used as a safe guard. Link to comment
