Please help me understand -- why are some Rems in the sidebar and some aren't?

[M_Young]

I’ve noticed this repeatedly and can’t figure out what causes it. (And clearly it bugs me…)

I have a document of notes from a talk I’m listening to, for example.

Let’s say perhaps 50 bullet points (rems) in about 10 sub-groups. Similar indentation levels, text formatting, etc. But 2 out of 10 subheading rems will be listed in the sidebar. If I insert another rem below, with the same formatting and move the subitems under that, then delete the original rem, it also disappears from the side bar. But why was it there in the first place? It seems so random, and it fills up my sidebar with single rem from the middle of nowhere in another “real” document. I can’t recall ever tagging something to be its own document. How do I make Remnote quit doing this?

Here’s a screenshot of what I mean:

Here’s a screenshot of some talk notes:

And when I click on 'Frame of reference problems’

Here’s a screenshot of my sidebar:

Why is the rem containing “Frame of reference problems” in my sidebar? The sibling rem “More reliable” is not in the sidebar. I can see no difference between my content, yet one is treated differently in Remnote.

Thanks!

It’s a little tricky to tell without being able to check the settings for each of your lines, but some things to check would include:

• does your Document sidebar only show Pinned items or does it show “draft”, “finished”, and “pinned”?
• using the three dots at the top right of the sub-pages, does it show that one is tagged as a document and the other is not?
• are there other tags?
• what kind of options do you get when you right click on the items in the sidebar? do you get something that suggests what its status is? (like whether it’s pinned or not)

There’s also the help function down in the bottom right, but I admit that the instructions for the sidebar are a little incomplete. I kept clicking through the same circle of links with no clear summary of how it works. I hope someone is able to assist with this one day.

Hi Schmy, thanks for your debugging questions:

1. I have Pinned and Draft, and Finished.
   

   

2. It looks to me like it is not a document.
   

   

3. When I “tag as document” it still stays in the sidebar.
   

4. I don’t think I have any other tags:
   

   

5. When I tag or un-tag as a document, it doesn’t leave the sidebar.

6. I don’t think it has to do with the content of the Rem. If I copy and paste into a new Rem, the new Rem doesn’t appear in the Sidebar.

I don’t know how to make it quit doing this. -_-

I took some screencaps of menu options for two sibling Rem. I don’t see any difference. But one is in the Sidebar.

The only other suggestion that I have is to check the side bar settings page for any weird portals or code.
On Android, the option page looks like this

Click on your account name in the top right and follow the prompts via settings.

Thanks Schmy. I didn’t see anything odd there, but it was worth checking.

I am just going by hand, retyping them all. The tedium is o-kay, but I am skeptical I can prevent more of them from happening.

Thanks!
