Hi! For all of 2025, I’ve easily been opening my project on both my iMac and my MacBook. All of a sudden, this week, I’ll log onto my MacBook and the changes from my iMac aren’t there. But the strange thing is that when I unpack the project file and look at the Dropbox version history of the docs in question, it’s there. So I don’t understand why it’s not appearing in Scrivener itself.
This has happened with two things:
- I originally just had loose scenes within an Act I folder. On my iMac, I added subfolders for chapters as well as descriptions for all of them. On my MacBook, it was still just the Act 1 folder with loose scenes. I closed the project back out, checked my iMac, and they were there.
- I added more to half of a scene on my iMac. I closed the entire program on my iMac. Then I opened it on my MacBook. The new portion wasn’t there. But still on my MacBook, I unpacked the project, found that data doc, and Dropbox version history had the missing text.
After Problem 1, on my iMac, I saved an entirely new version of my project to try to open that one on my MacBook. When that worked, I moved the old version completely out of Dropbox and just left that new one. I hoped that would fix whatever was happening, but then today, was missing that text.
