I am not sure what it was like in Evernote Legacy. But certainly with Evernote 10+ if you take a document such as a word document, say from the my documents folder and drag it into Evernote. if you then open the document from within Evernote and make some changes, then the original document (in the my documents folder) is NOT updated. Also, if you open the original document in the my documents folder and make changes then the copy wthin Evernote is NOT updated. This is a bit of a fiddle in that if you need to make changes, then what I have been having to do is to remove the document from within Evernote, then go to the document in My documents, make the changes and then finally add the document back in to Evernote - I was just asking if it would be possible to make this a simpler process by having the document in Evernote linked back to the original document in the my Documents folder rather than Evernote creating its own separate copy?

Hello. I use Evernote an awful lot for taking meeting notes and also for centralising my notes and readings from university lectures. One thing that has been a bit frustrating is this: I can embed an existing document (word, excel etc) into Evernote which is a feature I really like and use an awful lot. However, if I then open that document from within Evernote and make some changes, only the copy of the document within Evernote is changed. My original document on my hard drive on my Mac does not get updated. This means that if I make any changes I have to save to twice - once back to Evernote an then I have to remember to do a 'save as' and also overwrite the original document. It would be so useful to have Evernote update both copies when opening documents from within the app.
