Hahaha, better safe than sorry! Thank you for your suggestions.

Thank you for replying. I think I will download the desktop client to ensure reliability. Was using the web version to benefit from the new beta editor which is very nice, especially the checkbox list and the standardized headings/styles. Not looking forward to going to the old editor on desktop, but hopefully it will be updated to the new version soon.

I just recently lost part of a note, luckily it wasn't too important and fairly easy to recreate. I suspect that it happened because I switched to another note or refreshed the window while the sync status indicator on the bottom right of the screen was still "Saving..." I was more careful with subsequent notes and made sure not to switch to another note/refresh until getting the "All changes saved" confirmation. Several questions/suggestions: Is it the user's responsibility to ensure that notes are saved before switching to another note/refreshing/closing browser? Shouldn't this be handled by the application? Shouldn't the note content be stored somewhere in browser memory and continue to sync even if the user navigates to another note in the same window? If it is indeed the user's responsibility, then the sync status indicator needs to be much more prominent and should be RED and visible to indicate that data loss may occur if the user switches notes. If it is the user's responsibility to ensure successful sync before, then what behaviors will result in data loss? Navigating to another note Refreshing the window/tab Closing the browser entirely Closing the browser window/tab What happens in the situation where internet connection drops out and the note hangs in "Saving..." indefinitely and the only way is to refresh? How to make sure that content is preserved in this case? How reliable is the mentioned sync status indicator? Data loss sucks and it's hard to trust Evernote after losing content, so I want to know what indicators I can trust to avoid losing data at all cost. For context, I was a Premium subscriber before (from 2013 to 2015 I think) and back then I was really productive with Evernote. Then I tried other options like plain text, Dropbox Paper, Notion, Standard Notes, Workflowy, etc. I found that all of them hindered my productivity due to missing features (Workflowy only able to handle bullet entries, Dropbox Paper with its terrible file organization workflow), or too many features (Notion which makes me completely unproductive because I am constantly tweaking and over-engineering my system). All this to say that Evernote seems to be moving in the right direction as of late and I am considering moving all my notes back into it... IF SYNC IS RELIABLE. DATA LOSS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. If anybody has any information on how Evernote handles data syncing, or any information on how to avoid data loss due to user error, please share! Thank you.
