Yeah, this needs to happen. My employer requires me to use Notion to collaborate with coworkers and building toggle lists there then coming back to Evernote for my personal organization without the ability really sucks. Things get too long too fast.

Thanks for your response! No worries on the timing. I can't believe I saw it so soon after you posted considering I hadn't yet started following you. It was providential because I just happened to be in the forums looking at another issue off a google search and noticed the update. Anyway, I really hope they produce the features again too! If for no other reason than simply to follow through on a full implementation of tags, since they seem to keep them around. I personally landed on a different approach to the GTD method, abandoning TSW. In addition to providing a reliable structure for notebooks and notes and internal linking, with all of the EN keyboard shortcuts, it relies primarily on actually doing a weekly review, which I have reluctantly realized I cannot live without. Everything spirals out of control for me without that, even if I had all the speed of TSW, and trying to find a shortcut around that just hasn't worked. However, beginning to do regular reviews has been hugely helpful and reduced stress, even though my method isn't as fast as TSW. As far as structure, it heavily uses internal linking in a similar way that Notion allows pages within pages to create infinitely deep dashboards. This gets past the otherwise flat three level hierarchy that EN provides by default (stacks / notebooks / notes). While I previously new about internal linking, I rarely used it compared to how I use it now. It has completely changed my mind about limitations I perceived in Evernote's hierarchy. For that reason, I agree it would be nice if EN implemented Microsoft Loop functionality to provide synced-sections. I'm assuming when you refer to that, you're referring to the ability to, for instance, copy a certain amount of data from one place to another, creating a link instead of a copy, so that when the data is updated at the source, it updates at the link (or vice versa).

@MvdH Hope you're doing well! I've followed your posts here and elsewhere in the forum and can see that you are still seriously looking for a solution to the tags shortcuts and sorting issues in Evernote v10. I recently saw that you moved from using the legacy v6 to fully committing to v10 even though it has drawbacks for the TSW workflow. I'm curious to know, how are you currently addressing the issue with unsortable tags? In the TSW workflow, it seems like it is crucial to be able to sort by tags when reviewing work and updating them on a daily basis. I haven't figured this out yet. For context, I'm recently new to the GTD/TSW system in EN and I started using it EN v10. However, when compared with the TSW manifesto setup guide, it is clear that v10 does not work the same way that v6 did when TSW originated. I started looking at alternative software options that provide better sorting but, while they exist (Clickup being my frontrunner alternative), the keyboard shortcuts for adding/editing custom fields don't exist so the workflow is even slower than editing tags in EN v10. So it seems like the gains of sortability might be outweighed by the loss in speed without keyboard shortcuts, so it feels like I'm stuck with using EN for now even though reviewing tasks seems painfully difficult. What have you found to address this in v10?

Been a paid subscriber to Evernote since 2012. My account has around ~6,700 notes. Similar to @RL7836, I have stopped using Evernote on iOS and use Notes instead because Evernote is unresponsive and loses my data after I enter it. When I'm feeling patient, energetic, and willing to enter my data two or more times before it saves locally, it then won't sync in the same session. I've uninstalled and reinstalled as well. The issue returns. Super annoying because while Notes is reliable, responsive, and syncs better (not that fast though) it obviously has poor organizational abilities and I still have to copy and paste the notes into Evernote later on my desktop. Similar to @Samuel Hoppeabove, I don't understand why they are releasing updates for all kinds of trivial items that have minor impact on the end users when they don't have basic functionality worked out yet.

I agree. I've been a paid user of Evernote for ten years (come this July) and the relatively recent integration of some of the Markdown idioms has been a huge improvement. However, I'd really like to have full Markdown support. I am CONSTANTLY using the Markdown idioms for headers and horizontal dividers and it is SO much faster than using the keyboard shortcuts. I believe my productivity would be improved further if full Markdown was supported. Secondly, while learning the Evernote app-specific keyboard shortcuts for formatting has improved my speed with the app, being able to use industry standard Markdown would be even better because I wouldn't have to think about what is the keyboard short cut for italics in Evernote versus the many other apps I'm using? I'd prefer to just use the same shortcuts across as many apps as possible. I think it is clear that we're in an era where it is no longer realistic for Evernote to be pursuing a place in people's workflows as the only Knowledge Management app people are using. However, because it has unique and developed features other apps don't have, it has a deeply established place in many people's workflows. So the more Evernote can leverage itself to play nice with workflows including other apps in people's lives (by doing things like adhering to industry standards for Markdown), the more relevant it will be and the more convenient it will be for people to use in a workflow including other, seemingly competing apps. I think in that context, we'd see far fewer users threatening to give up on Evernote in favor of other apps.
