I just lost (fortunately only) one line of text due to a merge. It was a work task, so rather important. Only noticed it by chance, as I didn’t see any merger warning.
This is what happened:
-
Systems: MacOS and iOS, both latest versions of Obsidian and OS instaed
-
Sync: Obsidian Sync
-
Was working in a note on Mac. Then opened the file in Obsidian iOS and added some text.
-
When I opened the note in Obsidian Mac, it [edit: the line of text] was gone.
-
I don’t know if Obsidian on iOS wasn’t able to download the latest version from server before I started editing the note, or if I closed Obsidian on iOS too quickly before it could upload the change
Sync log showed the merger of the file, but it wasn’t merged, my line of text was simply deleted.
Not knowing if some of my text might get deleted behind the scenes without me being notified of it causes me some trust issues.
Some kind of sync conflict warning as proposed by @luckman212 in @EleanorKonik’s feature request would be really helpful
