Currently, there are two Remnote apps existing on my desktop. My past 3-days work can be found on the old one, which stopped sync, and keeps showing ‘synced 3 days ago’.
If your work can be found on the old version, your data are stored locally and it’s not hopeless. I think you can keep working within the old version, ignore the new version and the site for now. Confirm this with the RemNote team because it’s my personal experience. Do a full knowledge base backup periodically to make sure all data are local.
When the issue is fixed, your old version should auto-update to new version. And you can delete the other new version.
Alternatively you might want to try this out: Do a Full raw backup in the old version. Create Local Only knowledge base in the latest version. Import the full back up from the old version. If everything is ok, delete the old version. If it goes well you can work in a local only knowledge base in the latest version, with all your data. When the sync issue is fixed, export everything back to the sync account.
This update is deadly to me… waiting the team find a solution ASAP, my deadline is on my face….
I’m sorry to hear that, many users are experiencing the same situation.
Do you mean for most of us, we just need to wait for the automatic update on the desktop app?
I just meant automatic update to new version is what should have happened had there been no issue. Whether it went smoothly like that for most users, I don’t know, probably not considering what I have read around here. I had to install the new version manually.
At first I just installed the new version without touching the existing version. It did not result in two versions of the desktop app like your case, just one version, the 1.8.
After that, out of curiosity, I uninstalled the desktop app, keeping the folder with my knowledge bases and main account. Reinstalled the app to 1.8 to check if there’s anything different.
End result is, after logging in, the 1.8 version did not sync either but I could access all of my work after some glitches, described here June 2022 Update - RemNote 1.8 - #74 by RemNoteUserName
Note that all of my work are in Local Only knowledge bases.
Right now my desktop app has auto-updated to 1.8.5 and the main account still can’t sync.
