Q: Notes 4.2 - Attachments does not update.

Hei,

With the new notes update you are able to attach documents.

The problem I have is that if i attach a document to a note and edit this by opening it directly from Notes it does not update on all my devices - Just on my mac.

I have to move it to the desktop, delete it from the note and drag it back.

 

Is this a know bug or am I doing it wrong?

    Hello KDSteen,


    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 


    I understand from your post that you are not able to view attachments you add to your Notes on your Mac on all of your devices. I know how important it is for you to be able to see your attachments across all your devices. First, I recommend verifying you are signed into iCloud on your Mac and other devices with the same iCloud account. Then review the following article as it will provide insight on Notes and attachments: 

    Notes (El Capitan): Attach photos, links, and more

    You can only view attachments from notes stored on your Mac or upgraded notes from an iCloud account.

    Best Regards

    I am able to view the initial document on all devices, but if I update the document directly from notes (by double clicking and saving it from the application) the updated version is only on the mac it was updated by.

     

    I have to copy the document to the desktop. Delete the one in the note and attach the updated one. Then all the devices can see the new document.
