ipad notes apps not saving pdf annotations

Every time I try to take notes on a pdf on my notes app, regardless if the note is saved on my ipad or my icloud the annotations are deleted. I just redid an hour worth of notes and they all got deleted. This keeps happening. Annotations do not save on my pdfs in my notes app. I turn off markup and press done and then try to reopen the pdf and all annotations but a spare few are deleted. Apple really needs to have a save annotations option, because this keeps happening to my notes and I have lost hours of work.

iPad, iPadOS 15

This keeps happening to me as well. I’m a music teacher, and I keep personalized iOS notes for each student. The issue started recently, but many times, when I have tried to save a pdf file I have annotated, when I hit “done”, my work is erased. It is truly insane, given the money I have spent on my iPad Pro, as well as an iCloud subscription, iPhone, etc. that such time consuming bugs in their programming exist. I have also lost hours, and the saddest part, is that I know I’ll never get anything in return from Apple for the time they have cost me.
