Command Z not working + deleted note text
Hello all,
I was working on 2 different notes in 2 different windows (using the "edit in separate window" feature). I accidentally replaced the text of Note 1 with the text of Note 2 (I'd copied and pasted Note 2 for another reason, and mistakenly plopped it into the Note 1 window). When I tried to "Command Z" my way out of the situation, nothing happened. It seems, therefore, that I have overwritten Note 1 for all time. Is there a way to restore an earlier version of just Note 1? I am wary about restoring the entire library, fearing that I will lose a lot of very recent material I've added since the mishap with Note 1.
I should add that I haven't closed Zotero or Note 1's window.
Thanks for reading!

If that doesn't work (which should only be the case if the last automatic backup is too old), we may be able to retrieve an earlier version of the note from sync logs if you email support@zotero.org with a link to this thread and an example of some of the content you'd be looking for.
Thanks again,

Just wondering why the Command Z feature doesn't work when editing notes in a separate window.
I appreciate your help, thanks.
