Any suggestions for dealing with Note Conflicts? I will mess up and forget to close a document on one tablet and then open it in another thus creating a Note Conflict with a link to view original document. Would that be the document saved on Tablet A or Tablet B? I get confused just thinking about it... Is there a help topic on this or any suggestions from the users here? Thanks! Steve

Anyone experienced notes with a kooky creation date like "69," or had conflicting modifications in notes that you were e-mailing into from mobile (I was appending text to the end each time)? I had never even opened these notes except on creation, so how's that possible? Also, I recently did a *full sync* where you hold option and shift, then click sync. As a result of doing that, I now have 73 notes with conflicting modifications (only a few I was e-mailing into). I'd recently fixed some conflicts, but this unearthed an insane amount. After nearly ten years of heavy use, this might be the last straw. -
I just upgraded Evernote for my team so that we can share to-do lists for projects and such, but now it's creating all kinds of conflicts. Why? What good is this if sharing creates so many conflicts and there isn't a good way to resolve them?

I'm constantly losing data due to syncing issues. Before I used to at least get syncing conflict info on my notes, so I could go back and find what I've lost, but no longer. It just disappears. This happens, for example, when I have the Evernote app minimized in my macbook, and I make changes on iMac or iPhone, then go back to my laptop. I'd like to see a better implementation of automatic syncs, for example, when an app has been idle for a while the sync should happen before any editing is even allowed. Yes, I know I can hit the sync button myself to force a sync, but I cannot remember to do this every time, and as soon as I've typed one letter, it's too late. There's no way I can trust Evernote for really important data, because I lose it too often.

I've accidentally noticed that one of my note includes conflicting modifications (see http://www.evernote.com/l/AHZfSH-hGvBDxrn62fjqOjqfiW6sv8YoCs8/). I had them before and each time resolving them manually was a very annoying process, in particular on iPhone/iPad. Especially I found that the note has about 13 copies of almost identical original note , some of the with the same time stamp. I searched discussion forum and there are multiple threads from people asking how to deal with conflicts, but no response from Evernote employees. I am suggesting the following: 1. As I understand, on some devices Evernote put conflicting copy to special new Notebook named "Conflicting Notes ..." Can this be done on iOS ASAP? I hope it should be easy, because it's done for some devices. It will avoid corruption of the main note( as I read, system added multiple copies and huge notes become unmanageable). Also it will be noticeable to the user that conflict with particular note occurred. In the main note just add a short message about conflict with the link to conflicting note. 2. If conflict occurs, it will be good to add a notification to the reminders and alert user the same way as other reminders do. 3. A message about conflicts should have a link to a help page, that describe how conflicts can be resolved. E.g. On https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/25197-howto-diff-a-conflict-with-the-original and https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/86113-how-do-i-resolve-sync-conflicts/ there are different methods, including Export notes as text and compare with diff tools like beyond the compare/Winmerge, Use comparison of ms word, Compare in excel. The thread is too long, so only relevant suggestions should be copied to help page. Unfortunately, all methods , that I've seen, are for desktop, and not for iPad. 4. And ideally the conflicting notes should have highlights which particular sections that are changed <<<local>>>>> / <<<remote>>>>>, similar how it's done in source control system, e.g. Git. I understand, that for not plain text notes it could be challenging and not always would work right, but it's better to have something, than leave user without any help. 5. Investigate the bug why the same conflict was reported multiple times? In my corrupted note http://www.evernote.com/l/AHZfSH-hGvBDxrn62fjqOjqfiW6sv8YoCs8/ there are 13 Conflicting modification notes : (67):Conflicting modification on 6 March 2016 at 10:59:19 AM: (93):Conflicting modification on 7 March 2016 at 8:51:15 AM: (139):Conflicting modification on 7 March 2016 at 8:53:03 AM: (200):Conflicting modification on 6 March 2016 at 10:59:19 AM: (246):Conflicting modification on 7 March 2016 at 8:51:15 AM: (292):Conflicting modification on 7 March 2016 at 12:20:43 PM: (353):Conflicting modification on 6 March 2016 at 10:59:19 AM: (399):Conflicting modification on 7 March 2016 at 8:51:15 AM: (445):Conflicting modification on 7 March 2016 at 12:20:58 PM: (490):Conflicting modification on 6 March 2016 at 10:59:19 AM: (512):Conflicting modification on 7 March 2016 at 8:51:15 AM: (558):Conflicting modification on 7 March 2016 at 5:22:20 PM: (605):Conflicting modification on 7 March 2016 at 5:23:47 PM: -
Hi Folks, I am using Evernote Free app of 5.6.4 version in my mobile as well as PC. I am facing a problem between my mobile and PC versions. Below is the description. I will make notes of whatever I have read at home in PC evernote (say 10 points/Lines as text). When I want to update this notes at my convenience(say when outside and not accessible to PC). I will do it from mobile (where data in my mobile is not in sync with current data from server as I have not sync'd it in past 2 days- say I have only 8 points of earlier said text in mobile), will add few additional points and I will do it offline. In this case I am updating my notes with additional content and when I sync it with server, the earlier data(10 points) is getting overrriden with the data of 8 points along with additional content which is being added offline. (here I am losing my old 2 points) Is there any way to identify the conflicts between server and mobile versions so that it could ask for a merger of both data (or) overwrite the server version before updating if there are any conflicts? I dont know if it could be solved or this is the behaviour. Please let me know, If any body could assist me. Thanks Adams -
Hi all, We just released a new version of LiveMinutes (http://appcenter.evernote.com/app/liveminutes/web-apps) that allows you to collaborate on Evernote notes in realtime, like in Google Docs. As you know, when several people edit a shared note at the same time on Evernote, it creates conflicting versions. LiveMinutes solves this problem. Here is a video to show you how it works! http://youtu.be/FOxYa8NqRmc LiveMinutes allows users to collaborate on their notes in realtime, and everything is simultaneously synced back to Evernote, keeping your Evernote workflow intact. Edits made on Evernote are mirrored on LiveMinutes as well. We released this new version last week and we'd love to get your feedback! We really want to make this the best option for collaborating on your Evernote notes! You can give it a try at http://www.liveminut...s.com/evernote and let us know what you think! Alex
