Use case or problem What’s happening now is that I’ll sit down at my computer after, say, having had Obsidian Sync turned off, and didn’t realize it, and I’ll work for awhile… and then realize sync was turned off (because I was messing around with folders names or whatever and shut down all of my sy…

Hey @EleanorKonik :wave: Yes I was discussing a related (but not identical) situation with @Licat yesterday on Discord, as well as in these 2 threads: Add a toggle to disable automatic merging of changes WikiLink - sometimes portion of the title gets appended after the closing ]]s - Bug reports R…

Ah! Thanks for digging up the related feature requests — I searched but couldn’t find them. I’m open to whatever solution is easiest but I agree that right now the “silent” merges are sort of disorienting.

Could this be handled like normal GIT merge conflict UI’s? It shows the right & left conflict. Lets you select which lines you wish to keep, and also displays the output below, allowing you to edit the final result.

Hi, I had an issue where Obsidian sync automatically merged two versions of my notes. For some reason, it kept the earlier version and deleted everything in the later version. Is there any way to recover this information? It should at least put in the the trash. As far as I can tell, that automatic …

My merge doesn’t work and Im emailing support about it now. Im guessing this comment is too late but do you use the core plug-in “file recovery”? That has saved me a bunch

I am putting in my vote for the solution that Eleanor proposed as well, though I would also vote for a pop-up warning that is easy for non-techies to understand, with a solution for what they should do next. I was hoping to use Obsidian as my main writing tool, but I tend to have to switch devices q…

Related: [image] [Mobile] Make Sync icon always visible Feature requests I’d like the Obsidian Sync status icon to be always visible instead of hidden behind the 3-dot invisible swipe-out right menu, so I can know ASAP if there’s a sync error, and to avoid edi…

I am having an issue similar to Herr_Kerl. I am finding on a nearly daily basis that a note I have typed content into is suddenly blank. And I go back into the File Recovery and I find the previous version, which has all my content in it. I am concerned that this is happening more than I know. T…

Maybe related: Data loss! - #22 by ryanjamurphy In my case it’s not exclusively the daily notes, so it doesn’t appear to be an interaction of a particular plugin, but it may be the timing of turning on sync vs when the note is added locally.

the help docs explain that newly created notes (I believe on the order of minutes) don’t merge, they just pick one version to be the winner, whereas older ones do.
