I have the latest version 5.0.8 on desktop and lost cloud sync on or around July 9th on both iphone (running 5.0.0 (4195) and ipad (running 5.0.0 (4195). Just added an entry to my desktop client and it has not synced to my devices. (Maybe an idea for future releases – is there a way we can FORCE SYNC to the cloud to test connection on occasion)

I signed out and signed back in and it finally synched. Not sure why it glitched, but just passing on as FYI, but still like the idea of a FORCE SYNC key!

Glad to hear signing out and signing back in allowed the change to sync over for you.

This does sound like a bug that we’d like to track down.

Typically when you have a Sync Key setup, are signed into a Codebook Cloud account and have an active Codebook Cloud subscription each Codebook client should periodically “poll” for new changes (which should trigger any local changes to sync). In addition, when you make a change (edit/save) within the Codebook interface itself it should trigger a sync to occur as well. Some more information about polling is describe in this page: https://beta.codebook.cloud/faq.html#polling

When an error occurs, or your subscription expires, the Codebook Cloud status icon (in the lower left hand corner of Codebook for Windows) should change from a cloud/cloud with a checkmark to a red cloud with an x or a gray cloud with a slash (if you’re offline for example) to indicate something went wrong. Do you happen to recall if you saw either of those icons?

If not, there may be another error situation which occurred, but perhaps wasn’t surfaced. We’ll continue testing this scenario on our end to see if we can reproduced it.

If you happen to see it occur again, would you please collect the sync log (via Help menu > View Log Window) and send it over to us at support@zetetic.net for review to see if there may be an error that occurred that didn’t bubble up to be displayed in the interface.

Thanks!

Yes, I will let you know if it happens again. I did not pay attention to the lower left cloud icon, but now know it is there and will keep an eye out for that as well. THANK YOU.

I have been noticing if I make a change on the desktop (and the bottom left cloud symbol has a green check mark), that my iphone is not getting the changes like before unless I do a manual sync with option of merge.

I sent the sync log to support.
