Evernote's Link System Changes: A Step Forward, But Issues Remain
In Evernote’s latest update, the two options for creating internal links (evernote: format) and external links (https:// format) were consolidated into a single function called "Copy Note Link." This change introduced a new, more user-friendly link format ("https://share.evernote.com/notes/UUID"), which makes things simpler and clearer. I appreciate that improvement.
However, this update has also broken the existing backlink feature, which used to show a list of linked notes in the top-right corner of the referenced note. The internal links that worked efficiently before no longer function properly. I believe this issue wasn’t intentional, but rather an oversight or temporary glitch during the update process. Still, for users like myself who rely heavily on note linking, this has severely disrupted existing workflows.
I understand that the Evernote team is working to improve note linking, TOC creation, and note sharing functionalities, which is a good direction overall. However, these partial changes are causing unintended problems for long-time users who depend on the original features. I hope this issue will be resolved quickly.
