Just single direction sync in notes app

The sync of the notes app is not working correctly. If I edit something in notes app (MacBook Air, Macbook, iPhone, iPad) it just saves local, but not on iCloud.

If I enter something in iCloud -> Notes, then all changes will be transferred to all devices, but all modification on each devices stay on each device.

This is a full mess...

MacBook Air

Are the notes on the computer/devices iCloud notes and not On My Mac notes?


Try going to System Preferences/iCloud (Apple ID for Catalina) and stop Notes syncing by unchecking the box. Wait a couple of minutes, then check syncing. Allow time for the sync to complete.


or


Try Settings/Your Name/iCloud and slide off Notes syncing. Wait a few minutes and then slide syncing on. Allow time for syncing to occur.


Last resort  - have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in?
