  1. This is on desktop and perhaps not the same thing, but I'm now seeing this notification bell near the top of my screen. That's prime real estate and I expect to see notifications about my notes, such as reminders, not notifications or marketing messages EN wants to send me about the platform. Given EN's frantic pace of bugariffic releases--here's something new! oh wait, we broke something else, here's another version to fix that!-- I'm concerned that corner is turning into EN marketing central.
  2. I've never selected all, only 3-4 notebooks, and this is what happened to me several times, too. It makes mobile offline access completely unreliable.
  3. I don't know about the differences between the iPad and iPhone, but offline access has not been reliable on my iPhone in many months. It seems opening notes prior to downloading to the device helps somewhat, but even then opening them without a cell connection is hit or miss. When the mobile app updates, it's also been known to reset offline note/notebook selections and remove previously downloaded offline content from the device. This change isn't always obvious. Once it's discovered, the setting must be fixed and the content downloaded again.
  4. Some platforms cancel subscribers' services as soon as the "cancel" button is clicked. If someone fears losing services they've already paid for, it makes sense to wait until the last minute to cancel. It's sometimes difficult to tell how a particular tool handles cancellations so this might become a more common default for users.
  5. Similar issue here. Simplifying converts a lot of the images to unviewable attachments.
  6. I've been burned by this more than once. It's been an ongoing issue for quite a while. Anything I might want to access on my phone now goes into a different tool. Unfortunate to hear it's still happening.
  7. In 10.80.3 the editing tools extend across the ribbon to the AI Edit button. I guess there's still a little bit of space but nothing like the image from the previous version.
  8. Some data held by Evernote was compromised in 2013. It appears user content was not breached but hackers did access user details. A small summary is here and a Google search returns many results. The service was also part of a phishing scheme in 2022 that primarily affected healthcare companies that still used Evernote. The language regarding data breach notifications is different between the consumer subscription agreement and the Teams agreement, so be sure you read everything to understand what Evernote has (and has not) committed to doing if a breach occurs. Assumptions don't hold up if something happens.
  9. That screenshot looks like it's from a Teams account. Rather than stacks, Teams uses spaces, which are visible as part of the breadcrumbs at the top. I don't ever recall stacks being shown as part of that trail. It's one reason I briefly considered switching to a Teams subscription, because navigation is far better when you can quickly get back to the top level of each space.
  10. Be careful. I was just recently told here by forum members that web clips may NOT be a static download. I have several old notes that are missing data apparently because something about the original website they were clipped from changed or was removed. So far, it looks like the affected notes were all stored with HTML format. Parts of the notes are now gone.
  11. Good to know. I don't check how images are placed within a website when clipping it and I didn't realize clipping in HTML was so brittle. My impression was that the images would be fixed within the note but it sounds like I was mistaken. I'll have a much longer list of notes to review because it seems likely there are more "preserved" images that are now long gone.
  12. Yes, verified the images are also gone in the web version. Some other notes of similar vintage appear to be fine so it isn't 100% data loss across the board, but I will check each before exporting to be sure all the content is there.
  13. A decade ago I clipped an article in HTML format to Evernote. The anniversary of the event covered in the article is coming up and I wanted to revisit it. I was sad to discover the photos in my note are now gone, replaced by broken image links. Thank goodness the publication still had the article available online, which was a surprise as it's a rather small outlet and they don't keep many old stories on the website. The event was a very big deal locally and I'm glad I was able to resave the story (with working pictures) and store it in a more durable location so it will be available to me another 10 years down the road. Posting this so anyone else storing data in EN can be aware that it might be worth checking now if your important notes are still intact, before it's too late to restore content that might have been lost along the way. With a second brain like Evernote, who needs dementia? 😂
  14. I must admit that I absolutely love having this functionality in OneNote and use it all the time. Would be great if EN had it, too.
  15. My iPhone hasn't updated yet. Are those with the new mobile UI saying there is no longer a shortcuts or a similar list to quickly access notes/notebooks? Or am I misinterpreting the comments?
  16. The "send to OneNote" option in Outlook works well and is fast to use, if you aren't opposed to using OneNote to store emails. I personally don't like the way email addresses appear (or don't appear, in some cases) in OneNote, so while I'm still in Outlook I grab the header and Ctrl + C. Then click "send to OneNote," select the appropriate section, and when the email opens in OneNote I then grab the table header and Ctrl + V to replace it with the full header I just copied in Outlook. It isn't a one-to-one replacement for the EN/Outlook integration, but for my use case it gives me everything I need and doesn't take any longer to execute. One nice thing about sending to OneNote is that you can append the email to an existing note, so maintaining a cohesive thread of messages in a single, scrollable screen (with collapsible/linkable headers, if you like) is super easy. I don't know if it will do everything you want but may be worth a try.
  17. This behavior isn't exactly the same but it is somewhat similar to what I've experienced with mobile offline access since summer 2023 (I don't often use desktop offline so no idea of the status there). Some experimenting shows that notes work offline on mobile ONLY IF they have already been opened since the conversion on either desktop or mobile and marked for offline access AFTER that happens. Most people have a batch of notes they reference over and over. In that scenario, those notes have been accessed at some point, even if only briefly, in recent months. If those are the only notes you access, then mobile offline appears to work just fine. Except it doesn't. Trying to access a note that has not yet been opened post-conversion returns a "note unavailable" error, despite it showing as downloaded and waiting weeks or months for the download to complete. Basically, it appears that you now need to open every single note that you want available offline and open it while still connected to the internet. Marking an entire folder for offline access doesn't work. Marking individual notes doesn't work. And this isn't just for new notes or just for old notes. It's EVERY NOTE, regardless of age, that hasn't yet been opened in the post-conversion environment. I realize this isn't identical to the desktop issues but I wonder if they're related and fixing one might fix the other.
  18. Notion has really moved ahead. I'm sure you'll get great use out of the platform and its quickly expanding feature set! Two issues initially kept me from embracing Notion, but things are changing. 1 - No way to email notes into the platform. The Skiff acquisition might fill that gap in the coming months, just like they rolled out a well-developed calendar feature soon after acquiring Cron. 2 - No/very limited mobile offline capabilities. Since Evernote's mobile offline hasn't worked properly in 8+ months (and customer support is now gone), that's no longer a mark against Notion or any other app. If I can't have offline using EN, then solutions like Notion start looking a lot better. Notion is also actively pursuing enterprise customers. Once they have some good visibility into the needs and expectations in that more mature space, I expect they will apply those learnings at individual-level tiers and all of their users will benefit.
  19. The Pro level has certainly been devalued with this latest feature shuffle. It would be great if they open up the ability to use the spaces feature from Teams to maintain its benefit over the Personal tier. For my purposes, navigation in spaces is far superior to normal stacks.
  20. Here is what the Windows version looks like with the sidebar collapsed, the notebook's notes listed in the middle, and the note itself on the right. I've scrolled down a bit in the note and no note title is visible, only the notebook name. If I do a full-screen note, the title bar at the upper left no longer shows the notebook name, switching it instead to "untitled." The notebook name also persists above the note window but still no note title is visible.
  21. On my Windows version with the new UI, only the notebook name is shown at the top. If I expand the note to take up the full EN interface, the notebook name disappears and the top left changes to "Untitled - Evernote" regardless of the note title or notebook name. Doubly unhelpful.
  22. I assume EN does all of that in the background, because the process from the user's side is not the traditional export/import. Sign into the Teams account in a browser window and the instructions will have you sign into whatever other account holds your notes. You choose the notes and/or notebooks you want to move, and everything happens in the background. It's really quite simple. Of course it isn't drag-and-drop, but I don't think anyone expected that.
  23. The Teams account email address is located under Account Info from the main screen, and then the Account Summary section once it opens the Account browser window. It works just like it does with individual accounts and you can still include the notebook name at the end to sort it automatically into the right place. And yes, you can move notes and notebooks directly from an individual account to a Teams account. Instructions are here and they work as expected. https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313918-Move-notes-from-an-individual-account-to-a-Teams-account
  24. I'm on Pro and the offline functionality on iPhone hasn't worked properly in months, despite uninstalling, reinstalling, redownloading notes, etc. I posted about it here: Given that they have trimmed other features here and there, I wonder if they are quietly doing away with offline mode on mobile. Or perhaps some users are part of a silent test group to see if anyone complains about the broken functionality before it's formally dropped, similar to how they started limiting Free accounts prior to the announced plan change.
  25. How am I "posting the same stuff again?" I wasn't aware the app had updated, there was no notification of any changes to the application's version. This is also new behavior from what I posted originally -- rather than having a random bunch of notes that did/did not download in offline notebooks, I now have zero notebooks marked as offline and zero notes available offline. And because the app didn't indicate anything had changed, I wasn't aware my previously downloaded notes had been removed. Should I do a complete uninstall/reinstall every day?
