That's a good point. I was so startled to see the gray box that I just assumed it had to be that we way (edit), but if we've got a default set, then, well default.

That one you can turn off. It's on the ... menu at top right of any note, under Slash commands.

Simple is not the same as practical, if the main thing you want to do (access existing notes) is not one of the simple options, as @jowett2001 said. An option to choose Home page style would be my preference also, but I wonder if they'll go that far. Generally it's "out with the old, in with the new" with Evernote.

this is deceiving and recurring matra. v10 is ALWAYS slow. Does not matter how slow 5 second or 15 seconds. Legacy was MUCH faster! Period. I will take it that you mean something like "misleading" and not intentionally "deceiving." I'll accept being called many things here, but not a liar. Everything I said was true. I did not say Evernote would be as fast Legacy. The Electron framework it's built on is the obvious and well-known primary cause of v. 10 being slower. If all you want is speed, then yes, v. 10 is less valuable. If having notes appear identically on multiple platforms (not just Windows or Mac machines only) is of value to you, then v. 10 is better. If having the same formatting functions across platforms is of value to you, then v. 10 is better. If having highly similar interfaces across platforms is of value to you, then v. 10 is better. (No tabs on Mac, no color-coded notebooks on Windows, but a Home page dashboard everywhere.) If having updates delivered promptly is of value to you, then v. 10 is better. (I invite anyone complaining about bug fixes being slow to read the forums for the pre-10 versions in 2018 and 2019.) If having the developers be able to concentrate on solidifying existing features and improving on new ones is of value to you, then v. 10 is better--better, surely, than having multiple teams of programmers adapting new features to multiple platforms in multiple codebases, as multiple bugs accumulate on each of them. Again: if all you want is speed, Legacy will be missed. If you only ever wanted to work on one or two Windows machines, then Legacy was better than v. 10. But AFAIK Evernote was never intended for that limitation, but to be a tool to work with on multiple platforms, and that is what Electron, despite its drawbacks, facilitates.

Yes, I won't say minutes, but in tests (not real-work conditions) 30-60 seconds maybe.

Wow. That was impressive. @mackid1993, any chance of a really simple explanation of what it was?

This is posted in the Android app forum. You might get more useful replies by posting in the forum designated for your system (Windows, Mac).

Great catch! For the record, you can set the default notebook in the Android app in Settings > Notebooks.

As indicated a couple of posts above yours, this is a test that Evernote is running on "selected" users. So you've been selected. There's a long-running thread about this in another forum (below). The more recent posts in it indicate that they are responding to user feedback. But I'm afraid we are going to lose our beautiful, widget-filled "normal" start page.

Thanks for this. (Although I would say that a lot of people had this problem last year, not that everyone is currently having the problem.) Do you know what it was that he tried that worked? Was there a log of the process that might have that information? It could be golden if the issue pops up again!

Welcome to the forums. I'm sure they're not. As @PinkElephant suggested, the usual cause for this is accidentally logging in with the wrong email or username, which causes the system to think you're creating a new, empty account. Evernote Help now has a dedicated FAQ on this, currently #5 in their top articles: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us.

Well, that's at least something. It acknowledges that it's a bug, and they're working on it. But obviously not on a high priority basis.

If still experiencing this, see this post:

This bug has been fixed in the latest versions, at least since v. 10.82 (and at least on Windows!). You can download the latest, if your app doesn't offer an update, at evernote.com/download.

I agree with you. The AI Edit button on the toolbar is enough; this popup when we select text is intrusive and aggressive. You may have a more immediate impact by emailing this to feedback@evernote.com.

No, I'm in light mode. The divider lines are practically invisible.

You might also look in this forum for previous requests for this -- there's at least one, maybe more -- and vote them up.

A little surprisingly (maybe), this doesn't seem to be available. I also don't think it's possible to search/filter for notes that have a note link to one specific note.

A shareable link is a link that you can share with someone else so that they can view a note. A Web link is the standard link to a note, which you can insert into another note, or paste into another app. I use them in Google Calendar events sometimes (since I'm still a little unsteady about what linking my Calendar to Evernote does; or if I want links to more than one note in an event).

A backlink is a link back to a note that contains a link to the present note. IOW: In note A, I insert a link to note B (whether an App Link or a Web Link). When I look at note B, I see a backlink to note A. The notes have to sync, but the backlink is automatically generated.

Sometimes this is automatically populated, such as when a note is clipped from a Website or made from a forwarded email, or sometimes when a note has a URL in its body. It can be edited to be whatever Website would be useful to you in connection with the note.

Gobsmacked. I've edited tons of note links since v. 50, when Ctrl+Alt+K came out. I can't believe I never saw it. I have a vague memory of setting the default note link display to text; guess I never looked back. Sigh. Anyway, the / command to create new linked notes is here. ☺️

So the new linked note creation from a / command has arrived in v. 10.82 (downloadable from Evernote.com if your app isn't offering to update; pushed to Web clients). It works easily. Some specifics: The new note is indeed in the same notebook as the one in which the note from which it was created resides. (Awaiting howls of "Why would anyone want that?" in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...) More interestingly, the new note's link is not created as green linked text but as a gray box with the note's title in it. By experimentation (not documentation!) I found that clicking on this, and then on the ... menu at right of the popup that appears, reveals a menu with options to open, copy, or copy the URL of the note, and to view it as: text (the familiar underlined green), title (the new gray box), or preview (what it sounds like). Better yet, all existing linked notes now offer this option. If you've got a green underlined note link, you can hover the pointer over it, click ... in the popup, and show it in any of these views. Note that only the "text" view allows editing the link text. So with the new / command to create a linked note comes a boatload, or at least a little red wagon load, of other new functionality too. Unless this stuff has been around for 3 updates and I just never noticed it?

Thanks. I see that as 2 separate screenshots, one showing new note features, one showing note-browsing features. Looks like a row of tabs on the bottom from which you can pick which of these and other views to see, and then hopefully that view will appear the next time you come back. But still no widgets: no pinned notes, shortcuts, etc. That's a really big loss, since "browsing notes" means just scrolling through everything, instead of getting to what you want. @mackid1993, if you're feeding back to @Federico Simionato, I'd love it if you'd feed back to him that the widgets on desktop and Web client home pages are useful on mobile devices as well, and should at least have their own tab, if not any easier access.

Thanks, @mackid1993, for keeping us non-X-users up to date. I'm having trouble getting a sense of what the new proposal for the Home page actually has on it, since the image in the X post seems to be a compound of a couple of images. Is there a screenshot that just shows the first screen we'll see on Evernote? I guess my comment, WRT the app being "heavy," is that my Samsung S22 Ultra is not a flip phone, and it's far from the biggest Android device available. I love having my chosen Home page image there when I go to Evernote, and I don't mind scrolling down to find pinned notes and other widgets. I understand that a lot of users, maybe most users, want to be able to grab Evernote and start a new note in a hurry, and that makes sense. But in fact #2, browsing/searching notes, is actually usually the first thing I want to do. I like visual stimulation from a phone app, and a screen of boring blobs, all variants of "make a new note," feels like a real step backward. (And reminds me of Windows 8.)
