The What's new in Evernote for Windows web page has the following statements: What features are no longer supported in the new app? This is not an exhaustive list of features, but the most notable include: Local notebooks Presentation mode Context ScanSnap Evernote Edition firmware and software Outlook clipper Can I use the new Evernote app offline? Yes. To use Evernote offline, ensure you are signed in to the app before disconnecting from the internet. I don't think there is going to be an easily identifiable local data base but something more like local caching. People need to ensure everything is fully downloaded by using the app for some time and then switch off the internet and see what happens. If it does not work offline in the way you expect it needs to be reported to Evernote because they clearly think it should work. See also the info below posted by @gbarry in the mac forum of how the sync process works: Posted Thursday at 03:29 PM Searching offline should also be working and available. At initial install, we load up the note meta data first, which lets you quickly orient to what is available in the account, builds the lists, etc. The note content syncs in the background, and depending on the size of your account, may take some time to do this. If you click into any note or search for a note that is not synced yet, we will opportunistically load that up ahead of what is already syncing. That initial load of meta data can also make it look like the notes are unavailable if you go offline during this initial sync. I'd be interested if you're still running into an offline issue after the notes have loaded. Working offline is an important part of the experience.

But new users bring zero revenue to the company. They have to convert to premium and the premium option is getting less and less attractive. e.g. presentation mode gone, Windows version is just the web in a window so why bother to increase your number of devices count. The self appointed productivity gurus hate mature products that just do what they are supposed to do. Nothing for them to write about or screencast about. Much better to have a pretty new app that does nothing of any substance but has three days between new releases. Then every week they can get excited about how it now includes the ability to add commas or some other micro improvement.

I hope so too but I fear that is exactly who they are targetting driven on by the self appointed productivity gurus who have been down on Evernote for a while. Eventually they will realise that casual users are exactly that and don't convert to premium users who actually pay for the product. Meanwhile premium users will wonder whether we actually want to pay for something that is so stripped down from the product we know and love. My main reason for being premium is to have lots of different versions on lots of different devices. If the windows version is just the web version in a window I may not need premium any longer. I've suspected for a while that we will see a change in subscription model because of that. The nightmare scenario of course is no free versions in the future. With no local notebooks anymore that means you have to pay to access your data. That doesn't bear thinking about.

Not sure what you mean by this; you will need to be more specific. I'm guessing you mean searching for tag1 OR tag2. Using either search or filter you get a search for tag1 AND tag2. The ability to change this was raised in the beta but so far ignored. You can still do it using the search syntax in the search box. ie any: tag:tag1 tag:tag2 but there is no easy way like in the old version.

Agreed. They have already started this here: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047889234-What-s-new-in-Evernote-for-Windows We just need it to be complete and cover all the issues that were raised in the preview and beta. I'm not seeing alot of issues raised now that I've not already seen raised - we know what all the issues are already and they have been well documented in the preview and then the beta forums.

It's in the program itself. Help -> release notes. Don't get your hopes up though - there is not much detail in there but it just happens that this little nugget is there.

I certainly wouldn't want to be definitive. There isn't anything clearly identifiable as a local DB like the old version so perhaps it is more like a cache. In my limited experience of using it offline most things seem to work but I couldn't guarantee that everything is there.

Clearly listed in the coming soon section of the release notes: Coming Soon: - Edit creation date of notes in note info

The pronouncements from the EN team during the preview and beta phases have been reasonanly clear. I'll quote a few of then here: Posted July 12 Hi all--we've implemented offline functionality, meaning that the application is available and most functionality exists when you are not connected to the internet. We do maintain a local database, but at log out are presently wiping that. In the release after next, we will be reinstating an option for you to maintain a permanent local copy of your notes (or, if you like, continue to remove the local database). But also Posted September 2 Fully offline capabilities are still in the works. Additional improvements are coming! You do need to make sure that "save data at logout" in tools -> preferences.

You have to "simplify and make editable" which is available from the pop up mini menu when you click on the grey header to the web content.

You can find the in app link by editing a link which has been pasted into a note and then copying it: However when I use that link (from within Word for example) it opens Evernote but does not open the correct note. So it's more than just being able to easily generate the link - it needs to work as well.

Personally I find the accurate rendering of emojiis quite useful. I only use symbols and it allows me to easily see a title, for example, in a list. If you want to reject it simply because it sounds like something only teenagers would use that's fine but it's your loss.

They look quite different. Some people hate the crossing out of the new checklist while I like it. I should imagine going forward most people will use the new checklist because it is more obvious on the edit menu and being a list you get the really nice ability to reorder the list by drag and drop.

I may have misunderstood what you mean but you can always print a note to pdf and then email it. You will obviously need to have the appropriate software installed on your PC to allow you to do this.

I have always been relectant to share notes by email because it means giving a third party (Evernote) the email address of my contact. I wonder whether with GDPR and the like this is why EN have discontinued this function. However it should still be possible to send a copy of the note from your own email system in a integrated "share by email" type approach. Currently you can not do this and you cannot even copy and paste an entire note into an email because images are not copied.

This is no longer the case. Most of my pdf containing notes come from directly webclipping an online pdf anyway. Sadly it's another example of the absence of options leading to defaults that will not meet everybody's needs.

The situation is much more serious than this. For several types of webclippings the only place you will find the source url is as the note url in the note info window. It does not appear in the body of the note and is hence lost when the notes are merged. This is therefore a live issue and is not just for webclippings imported into the old version. The three types of webclippings where you will loose the url on merging are: Webclips of pdfs Webclips created as screenshots Webclips of selected text (ie select text first and then hit the webclipper icon)

It should work fine. Either right click the pdf and choose "annotate this pdf" or use the pop up mini menu that appears above the pdf when you click on it.

This was a bug in the beta but has not been resolved before the public release. For me ctrl-alt-F only works if the focus is on a note in the note list (ie there is a blue box around a note in the note list) and the sidebar is not collapsed.

Most of that information is burried away in the note information window which is most easily accessed by ctrl-shift-I

Best you can do at the moment is to include emojiis in your tag names

A real slap in the face for all of us preview and beta testers who have spent hours not only finding all the problems but carefully documenting them and saying why they are important to our workflows. I know it's not the final version and I know we can still use the full functioned "old" version but what do EN hope to learn by making it a general release? They are just going to be told all the things we have been saying for months.

The short cut for find notes (alt-ctrl-F) does not work if the sidebar is collapsed. Raised and acknowledged by the EN team in the beta but released anyway. 😒

I think you will find it is shift-alt-D for the date not ctrl-alt-D. ctrl-shift-D gives the time
