Items in the collection ____ have been added and/or removed...
I've gotten this error before but I thought it was because of something I did, yet I got it again and it seems something's not right (or I'm not doing something right) because I also got an error -- I tried to submit a report, but the option was greyed out on the menu.
Here's what happened: I synced yesterday or the day before with no problems. Today, I did a bunch of work using citations in one subcollection; when I was done with them, I moved them to a different subcollection and deleted them from the first. Involved in this work/move was a new sub-subcollection. Please with my work at having gotten through dozens of citations and most of what I needed to do (well, all the minor sources at least), and preparing to move on to the remaining few items, I figured I'd sync.
Perhaps I shouldn't have synced?
Because then what happened is all that stuff that I "did" (moved/deleted) got returned to the original location. (And I got an error saying I needed to restart.) Now I have to go back and re-delete all that stuff from the initial subcollection. Not the end of the world, but a big waste of time (the moved stuff is all right where I moved it).
I guess my question -- in addition what's going on here and why did this happen -- is why the sync system doesn't recognize the newest edits and accept them. I move stuff around between subcollections, and I don't want sync undoing that!
Or is that by design.
Thanks for any advice.

"Items in the collection ‘___’ have been added and/or removed in multiple locations. The following items have been added to the collection:"
Then there's a list of all the stuff. I copied it to use it as a reference so I can re-do my work, but the problem is that it's only title and author -- and most of the titles and authors are EXACTLY the same (I'm working with a lot of anonymous periodical reports)!
Is there an easier way than above to fix this?
