I thought the purpose of syncing my notes was that there would be a back up of them! I have a note that Ive been keeping and updating for 6 YEARS!!! that is now in the wrong notebook and everything is missing except for some intelligible characters. I've had this happen before (did not have automatic syncing at that time) and was told that syncing the notes was the way to avoid having them lost. Now what are my options?? Is there truly no way to get previous versions restored without a monthly subscription?? If so, what the hell is the point of syncing the basic version?
