Hi, @andreapavoni. Was there only one document that wasn't synced, or were there other documents as well?

Hi @LucasXu0 thanks for replying.

It happened with many documents, on both devices.

  • Documents (several) created or edited on desktop, were only synced in terms of name on the iOS app, but I got the error page mentioned above when tried to open them. Also, no hierarchy between embedded documents has been synced

  • Documents (several) created on the iOS app weren't synced at all on the desktop app.

If there are any sync issues, feel free to let me know. In some cases, you can open the unsynced page on the machine where you created them, and it will start to sync the page again.

I also encountered the same problem, but I haven't been able to synchronize with the Mac terminal and the ios terminal, but I just upgraded 0.5.1, and now the data on the Mac terminal can finally be synchronized to the iOS terminal.
However, at present, the pictures in the subpage of the list in the database cannot be synchronized with the mobile terminal.
