ProgVox!

I have the new update. Seriously? Where is the microphone that used to be up on the editor?

I am still running into this problem. No way to override a note when the other party opens it and you need to have control over the note... so frustrating. I get that you need to lock one party out to prevent synching issues, as it was once explained to me, but for pete's sake... gives us a way to take back control over the note! An override feature... Users have to have the ability to hand control of the note back and forth to each other! Its been a problem for about two years I think, and still they do nothing about it. ... are they even reading this forum? And... There seems to be no pattern or rhyme/reason as to why... some of my students ( share notebooks with my students ), are being locked out and some are not. ALL of them show that they are sharing with me and that they DO have "edit" rights. It is NOT an issue related to user role settings. If that were the case we wouldn't even be making posts on this forum. I think we all understand that issue. I would say about 1/4 of my students are locked out, when their user roles are set to "edit" and the system shows they are sharing. EVERNOTE, WHAT IS GOING ON? PLEASE PROVIDE AT LEAST... A TROUBLESHOOT PROCEDURE THAT WORKS.

No. I never received any response. So currently the only solution to get control over the note again, when you are sharing / collaborating on a note, is to ask the person that has control over the note to completely turn the application off. They have to shut the application off. Then the system will release their control over the note. That person then has to restart the application. I understand that they don't want synching errors by having both people in the note at the same time. It was explained to me that this is the reason for this feature. What makes no sense what so ever and I find it egregiously careless about their customers needs is... there is absolutely NO way to release, disable, switch, toggle control back to the other person. You get locked out and thats it. No way to fix the situation. It is the biggest technical oversight I have ever seen with Evernote ... and this has been going on now for about 2 years. They still have done nothing about it.

Can anyone , including someone from Evernote... simply tell me how to unlock a shared note? Since the recent big update... if you are sharing a note in near real-time with someone else, ( I am a voice teacher and I give skype lessons to students and we share student folders with notes in it... )... the new update locks you out of the note, rendering it impossible to make any changes in the note... they said they did this to prevent the synching conflicts, but.... that wasn't nearly as bad as the new problem this created... now I can't share a note with my student in real-time?! Well, that would be digestible if they had provided a way to unlock or override that feature... but apparently they have not. Is this true? Is it actually true that they created a "lockout" feature when two people are sharing a note, that renders the note disabled for one of the users... and didn't provide a means to unlock the note or an override or a disable check box in the preferences? You got to be kidding me?! So far, the only way I can get access to my students note is for my student to completely close evernote and relaunch... Does anyone know how you unlock a note after you have been locked out? C'mon Evernote ... creating a "lock out a user" feature when sharing a note in real-time is one thing... but then to not provide any way to override that feature is just a huge oversize and mistake. Lock your customers out of the ability to use your product, and don't provide any easy way to unlock the note... ? Because.... you presumed that out of MILLIONS of users, nobody is going to share a note in real-time?... You have got to be kidding me?! And Ill add... I am a "Pro" customer too... Im paying for a monthly service here?! What really is the solution here, anyone know?
