The shortcuts are meant only to access a few notes quickly. AFAIK they were never used to trigger a local storage - would make no sense, since you can put entire notebooks or saved searches there as well. On the desktop clients a local copy for offline use is standard. On mobile it is a subscribers feature, and this since before v10 was released.

How many own templates have you saved in total ? There is a cap of 20 personal templates.

I discovered Shottr more or less by accident. It even has a blurring tool - this was my main use of Skitch before I switched. Together with an import folder it makes for a nice workflow. You can define the Screenshot folder into which Shottr is saving as import folder. Then every screenshot will end in EN - which is why I have a manual step in between.

Tested it yesterday very briefly, gave it more time now: You are right, not solved !

The only content in danger is anything not synced - which is unlikely. Your notes are on the server and will download once you first log into the newly installed client.

The screenshot tool is in the menu bar helper, behind the elephant icon. Personally I use the app Shottr for taking screenshots. It installs into the menu bar as well, and has more options than Skitch. It just doesn’t save directly into EN.

@Mesoman Sometimes an URL may not be recognized. Select it, right click and set the hyperlink yourself. About the URLs leading to the Home page instead of the URL: It is a known bug, fixed with the desktop version 10.41. When you go to the download page on the EN website, you already get it.

This is not support, the forum is user2user. All versions below v10 are end of life, deprecated and no longer officially supported. You can use them as they are, but with problems you may find an answer here, or need to install the new version. I have both versions installed on my Mac, and both work. You don’t tell which MacOS. With uninstalling you just have a problem if you have any local notebooks. If not get and use the app AppCleaner to erase the existing install. Caution: Notebooks not synced to the server will be gone ! You can reinstall the legacy client from this link: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314-Install-an-older-version-of-Evernote BTW the new version has a ton of keyboard shortcuts, many are editable to work with other shortcuts installed. If you don’t like the new version, staying on legacy is no long term solution. Switch to whatever other service while legacy is still working. You pay for the service you use - it is your decision.

They may be tame or wild - but to me it seems they lead into quite a disorganization. Reason: They try to organize notes by notebooks. This is the maybe least best way of setting it up. Notebooks in EN are pretty "flat" in hierarchy, and as all "note (file) must be placed in exactly one notebook" you never get really happy about it. Take invoices: Sort by year, by provider, by type of purchase, by payment method, by ... . No matter how this is decided, it will always leave everything else not covered. Most notebooks showing in the "wild" example above (and even some of the stacks !) would better be solved by attaching one or more tags. I think notebook count could easily be reduced by 80%. And this leads to make the "wish list" a thing of the past - pin note to notebook top (which is quite static, so you either re-pin often, or end up with the wrong notes pinned) suddenly is not important any more. Just my 5ct ...

In a shared notebook only tags that were created by its owner can be applied. A useful method is to start the notebook with a first note that carries all tags that shall be used in that notebook. Because same named tags can cause problems, you can start all tags with an identifier, like a $ for $hared. This will make them stand out in tag selection. When new tags are needed, add them as the owner to that initial note. Anybody who wants to learn which tags are available can go there and look them up.

Thanks for posting. This means you had a corrupted note in your local database. Probably the app always tried to overwrite it, and failed. The database will now rebuild from the server. Depending on the size of the database and your internet connection, this will take a while.

@HSS Personally I doubt external highlights from another app will import at all. All posts in this thread prior to the one you posted yourself are outdated, since the code platform was completely renewed. To be sure, ask support.

To me it is not clear which "Shortcuts" are meant here - those in the app itself, or from the OS in which it is running. In general on mobile the app only holds little data for offline use. If you want to download the full content, you need a subscription. Download control is by notebook - not by assigning a note to shortcuts or not.

My scan was with the app directly. I can scan business cards with Scannable up, down and sideways - it will never view a standard layout BC as such (really nothing fancy). It just creates a note with a picture of the card. When I create a BC note with the app, and try to type into the fields in the note directly, it will not take any input, from wherever source. It will only allow editing when I click on the contact element and then on the pencil (or edit). Then the contact data opens in a new window, with the separate fields spread out. There editing works with any keyboard element.

Before going to note history: To me it is not absolutely clear from the description whether you erased a note, or you did an overwrite of the content of a note. In first case you can go to the Trash, look for the note and reactivate it. This works with any account, Free as well. In the second case you need to access note history. It is absolutely important here that you still have the note, be it in whatever state. A duplicate or copy will not do, because it has its own (mostly empty) note history. For every note note history is running on all accounts. But access is a subscribers feature, and it will only work on a desktop client. So if you need to recover content accidentally deleted or overwritten, subscribe for a month (or longer) and wait until your account status shows the change to "Personal". Then click on the note, click on the 3 dots top right, and choose "Note history" from the dropdown menu. You can set the note itself back to wherever you want, or you can create a copy of that note with an older status (hopefully with your content), and revive it. In this case the new note will not have a history itself, just the older version of what has been the notes content at that point in time.

The question is whether the app is designed for the average power user, full of "where is what" Know how and keyboard shortcuts engrained into muscle memory - or just for the average power user, who is happy with getting some base functions right under his mouse pointer. Personal preferences are hard to emulate.

When I click on "Edit" in a BC note, a window opens to edit contact data (Mac client 10.41). In the fields there I can use any part of my Logitech Craft keyboard - it just works. But maybe this is because it is on a Mac ... 😇

These are no tool tips - these are active functions, offered to you when hovering over a link, to make using link functions easier and more intuitive. It is a feature, not a bug. And no, as most features it can't be disabled.

We are other users, and if and when we answer is more or less accidental. About syncing issues (there are more help documents, with a narrower focus): https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/208313378

The GUI elements are designed by the OS owner, which is Microsoft, Apple or Android. Developers do not design basic design elements like scroll bars - they just pick from a library and employ the predefined elements. That's why apps look alike, and that's why apps that are not updated regularly are getting an "old" touch and feel as OS updates pass by. You may find older scroll bars on apps not updated, but I think the newer ones will all change their GUI elements to what was defined by (in this case) Microsoft.

I assume you run EN on a pretty current PC, with an SSD drive. In this case it may be your local database took a hit. To replace it you can do this: Go to File > Sign Out [name] from the menu bar. Select the "Remove my Evernote data from this device" option, then click Sign out. Restart your computer. Sign back in to Evernote

Usually there is note history holding prior versions, but it is linked to the note. When the note vanishes, note history vanishes with it. As long as a note is in trash, it can be reactivated, together with its history. But once it is gone, it is really gone. A duplicate note has its own history, which starts at the point where it was created. The best chance would be if you have a client (preferably desktop or even legacy) somewhere that has been offline since, but is still logged into your account. You could open it offline (switch the network access off before opening the EN app). While offline, get at the note, and export it as an ENEX file. Then close the client without ever going online. You can import that ENEX file into your usual desktop client, reviving the note. It will not have a history, since it is new, but what has been in the latest version will be in the ENEX import. If your computer runs a regular backup, you can use this backup as well to go back to an earlier version of the EN folder on your computer. My Mac does it automatically with TimeMachine. Windows is similar if activated - I am just not familiar with the details. The procedure would then be similar: Replace the EN folder by its older twin, open the client offline, get the note, export it as ENEX, close the client. Go online, open the client again, and import the note retrieved from the offline backup.

Currently (and maybe for longer) automation does not play well with v10. I would use another app for audio memos, and share it later with EN. Personally I use JustPressRecord. It is available for Watch, iOS and Mac. It records audio, does a transcript of the recording (on iOS or Mac) and allows to save both text and audio (or only one of both) into a note. It is not free, but it is a small one time purchase, worth the price.

Personally I doubt it has really replaced anything. It added a ton of copies of itself, pushing the other content down. To delete the copies, you better use a desktop or the web client. Mobile only allows one single note to be selected at any time, which makes removing duplicates difficult.

EN is in general not build around tasks. I think every task manager is fully able to give you the overview you want (or you should switch the task manager). The main idea behind EN tasks is to make notes actionable. This is something a task manager can hardly do. Since task managers all have their own way of doing things, I doubt it would really be easy to just open the API, and let tasks flow left and right. This could create problems when tasks are created, managed or deleted, and the result is moving through an API unfiltered. A limited, controlled approach maybe - to contact EN about it, use the feedback function in the clients.
