New Notes sections expand on their own accord

Hi community,

I've just upgraded to Sequoia (15.0.1 (24A348)), and one of the first things that caught my eye was the ability to collapse sections in the Notes app. For me, this is a great new feature which I immediately started using.

Unfortunately...it doesn't work.

Once I've collapsed the sections I don't need to worry about for a while, within, say, a minute they've all expanded again. All of them. I have searched and found one post reporting the same problem but he/she says it's due to spelling errors in those sections.

That shouldn't make a difference, however, even with no spelling errors my sections are still automatically expanding without (obvious) reason.

Anyone else having the same problem? Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Mark.

So from my experience, sync issues (and I have had a couple over the years) can usually be solved by turning off iCloud notes on the affected devices, rebooting those devices and then turning the iCloud sync back on.

For a complete "reset" I'd probably do this on ALL devices: so turn iCloud Notes off on each device, leaving the most up-to-date device until last (and you can log into your iCloud in a browser to check that the cloud version of your notes is totally up to date). Reboot all devices, and then turn iCloud Notes back on one device at a time, letting each device completely sync before moving on to the next one.
