Automatically Prevent Auto Archive for Notes Containing Incomplete Tasks

Bill AdminOur experience has been that the greatest problem most regular to-do list makers face is having too many tasks, rather than too few. To this end, one of the best pieces of signal that we can utilize to reduce the burden on a note taker: to discard tasks that are in journal entries or other ephemeral notes. The explicit "prevent auto-archive" can be used for notes that are the exception to this general tendency of notes to contain ephemeral content.

ChristianThanks Bill,
Can you make this an optional opt-in / opt-out feature then? I cannot afford for tasks I plan to simply disappear if I do not complete them within the allotted 30 days (or remember to periodically re-open the note);- some of my planning is longer term than that. I need my tasks to live within their note context, rather than on an aggregate to-do list marked as 'don't archive'. At the moment I'm having to manaully mark every note that has a task item as 'don't auto archive' to ensure the system doesn't decide that that task is no longer important and archives it. This is a pretty major issue for me, an I'm considering moving away from Amplenote because of it (Pro Subscriber)... I really like the platform concept though, so am hoping there's a solution to this? Do let me know your thoughts on it. -

Lucian AdminHey Christian! I'm not sure if you've found the "Prevent auto-archiving" feature in the note options?

RickThis auto-archive thing is actually a deal-breaker for me. I am not looking just for a task manager. (And if I was, I want the control to choose if a task is archived, or to approve archiving it.) I would use Todoist or TickTick. I need something that manages everything: Tasks, events, and notes, journal entries, my personal knowledgebase, etc. I just imported a bunch of journal entries and quotes and ideas I'd written in other apps, and Amplenote has taken to archiving them. Now, I would have to go through and prevent auto-archiving for hundreds of notes? And, going forward, if I add a new note, I have to remember to prevent auto-archiving, also? Nope. Not reasonable. Not productive. Not happening.
