Hi all,

I'm using Zotero on my laptop (Mac) and my iPad. Normally, I manage all the downloads, tags and short notes on my laptop but then highlight and take other notes via my iPad. I was just reading an article on my iPad (with a lot of highlights and notes) and wanted to look something up on my laptop. For that, I refreshed the library on my iPad so I could see all the notes and highlights on my laptop as well. However, instead it pulled the blank pdf from my laptop (I guess?) because now all the notes and highlights are gone. I closed the app in a sad attempt to fix it ("have you tried to turn it on and off again"), but the document is empty... All the notes and highlights are gone. Now I turned off the syncing and tried to find the file on my iPad, but didn't have any success. Is there any way to recover it and to avoid something like this in the future?

Thank you for your help!
