Undo Merge

[iandes 5]

Hi, I hit CTRL-A while in a particular notebook to merge the notes in that notebook. For some reason, and unknown to me at the time, Evernote selected all of my notes in every notebook. When I selected merge, boom, all of my notebooks were put into a single note. Undo did nothing. The sync ran. OMG - this is going to take hours to fix. Is there any way to revert to before the sync took place?

Thanks, &y

So I just realized that the merge function moves the notes that are being merged into the Trash, and I'm able to recover them from there. whew

Glad you were able to recover your notes. And thanks for posting this. I occasionally do a merge & then wish I hadn't. And I'd noticed there's no UNDO. So far, NBD since it's normally short notes & easily recreated or else I can live with it. But I've taken a screen cap of this & put it into Evernote so I can find it if/when I need it.

Good deal. Glad I could help more than myself

Even though it is a nice find that merged notes get moved to the trash, an undo merge solution would be very handy.

8 years later and this is still scaring random users.  Thanks for posting this.
