Hi all. For my PhD I've bought my S6 lite tablet mainly to read and annotate papers. I'm doing this in OneDrive using the included annotation function, because I need to be in OneDrive and can't download the papers locally for safety reasons - I work at a hospital and in the virtual system of the hospital.
I've saved and opened the same PDF multiple times as I've been reading and annotating it over multiple working days, as it's really big and also made me want to read other related things inbetween sections. Now that I wanted to continue after a 5 min break, ALL my annotations are gone. This has happened before on a smaller scale, but this contained multiple days' worth of work, important annotations, notes/ideas for my own paper that I needed to process, etc. How can this happen and how can I get it back? What even happened?
Things I've noticed;
- The colors on the annotation system (pens, markers etc) changed back to default colors.
- On my laptop/hospital system, there are no previous versions of the file to open. Doing this on the tablet is not an option, I believe.
- When I open the file now, sometimes it's completely blank, sometimes it's just the paper without my annotations.
- There are no multiple versions of the file to be found if I search for it (I hoped that maybe there was a blank and an annotated version somewhere, so far no luck).
Please, PLEASE help, I'm desperate as I can't lose all of this work, and am close to throwing the tablet out of the window, as this is just one in a row of many problems. I'm not asking much of it and it can't perform (can't connect to most Wifi's, regularly crashes, now this).
