Thank you both for your responses. The invisible sync is proving maddening - I live for a manual save option that I can rely on to have caused work to be saved. I saw in the note history that it was anything up to 12 hours after some changes were made that another "restore" was possible, worrying indeed. I see that if I type any new text, the "saving" function kicks in at bottom right of the screen, however it was doing that yesterday and work wasn't saved. I would like to use Evernote for writing, I've been a fan/user for a long time, but agree that a WP on autosave might be the way to go.
