mlevin77 2 Posted December 25, 2018 I have about 700 notes. The other day I was looking for a note and it wasn't there - searched for keywords I know were in it, and found nothing. Luckily, I have a .enex file that I exported a few months ago, of my entire Endnote library. I did a text editor search through that enormous file and found my note. So I know it was there, and I certainly didn't delete it on purpose. What I'd like to know is, 1) is there any way to find out *what else* might be missing - if that one note is gone, there may be others - is there any way to check the current library against the .enex file and see any differences - especially, notes that are in the file but not in the current library? 2) is there any notion of history that I might see (in the on-line access for example) to ask what happened to that one note?

I could do a compare using scripting on a Mac. It could audit the titles and last update date. >>is there any notion of history that I might see (in the on-line access for example) to ask what happened to that one note? Evernote provides a note history backup. Catch-22; you must have the note to access the history I implemented my own Note History backup using incremental exports. The revision history is available.

The revision history is available. thanks! I looked in Trash, it's not there (but the trash has tons of old stuff in it, so hasn't been emptied). re. your script, that's a great idea! I could export as .ENEX now, and compare it to the old one and see what else is missing. Does this script exist already or are you making it? Share this post Link to post
