Hi @thomaschhh , if you log out and enter the anonymous mode again, you should see your local pages.
In your case based on the description, you can import your local data folder into your cloud account by following the instructions here
Please let me know if you need more help.

Hey @annieappflowy,

I already logged out but still don't see the notes. What I did though is to change the path under Settings - Manage Data to point to a folder that has a timestamp from before today. This folder contains

collab_db
collab_db_history
flowy-database.de
indexes

I don't mind working locally so I don't necessarily need to use the cloud approach.

@thomaschhh , local data is safe as long as you have not deleted the folder. I will ask @LucasXu0 to help you locate it tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@thomaschhh Here are the steps to recover your data from anonymous mode:

Open the 'Settings' page.
Navigate to 'Manage Data'.
Click the 'Reset' button.
Log out of your cloud account and log in again as an anonymous user.
