Steps to reproduce Create and modify a file repeatedly on desktop. Sync occasionally with iPhone. Eventually, the sync will take longer than usual and an incorrect sync will occur. Did you follow the troubleshooting guide ? [Y/N] I cannot reproduce the issue in a sandbox vault as it’s related to Sy…

Let me add a quick note here. I plan to review all the sync threads in bug reports and overhaul the docs about this matter. The issue of duplication, as far as we are able to reproduce it, happens when there are multiple independent changes to a note. For example we begin with Note A that is synch…

[image] WhiteNoise: The issue of duplication, as far as we are able to reproduce it, happens when there are multiple independent changes to a note. For example we begin with Note A that is synchronized in both device 1 and device 2. If device 1 and device 2 both independently make changes to n…

One of the problem of this and the few other sync threads is that there is probably a superposition of different problems. So it’s difficult to scope them individually. One of reasons we introduced the option to disable automatic merge in case of Independent edits is to figure out if some problems …

I would hope here for a 3rd point: Notify user that merge conflict happened, through the notification. Obsidian already notifies us when file cannot be synced due to other problems, let us know that it failed to merge files as well. Cause like someone here pointed out before, sometimes you will no…

Yeah, the lack of communication from the app makes the problem a lot worse. There is a feature request for that: Obsidian Sync: Add a notification warning when Sync Merge with conflicts happens . [image] serious: Notes are not modified independently by the user (me) on both devices. This seem…

I’ve been facing this for well over twelve months. Before I found this thread, I had attributed them to a possible race condition with however the tasks plugin does its indexing, since I’ve only ever caught the issue when it screwed up my tasks. For me, it typically injects a duplicate section of t…

[image] Obsidian Sync: Conflict File generated but user has not independently modified on multiple devices The only reason I opened a bug report is that it’s not me editing the files and creating conflicts, though. The conflicts are created entirely by Obsidian. Just chiming in to emphasize th…

I’m furious right now. Sync just corrupted eight of my notes, including deleting a MASSIVE section of a note that I’ve been working on for the last week. I cannot believe the inaction of the devs on this. This is data loss, data corruption, a failure of the most basic thing I expect of this app, …

To anyone who, after enabling the new “create conflict file” option, experiences conflict files being created even when no editing has been done on multiple devices, please go here and provide the requested info. @SMikula I am sorry to hear about your problems. I do think your have a different issu…

Steps to reproduce on ios with a medium size vault eg 200 notes across different folders, enabled obsidian sync and a note that is a bit longer eg. a few thousand lines, where user appends to bottom of note: randomly append to note and use other apps in foregraound, where after writing the app is …
