Hey folks,

Given Bear web does not support ADP, I’m toying with the idea of turning off ADP to be able to access it. However, I have had ADP on since the Bear app has been updated to support ADP, so I’m not sure what happens now if I disable ADP. Do any notes I’ve created since ADP was enabled become inaccessible? Will I have to wait for all notes to re-upload before I can login to Bear on the web? Thanks!

You don’t need to do anything: ADP is just the format used to store your notes on the server. If you disable it, Apple will automatically convert all your server content, and the same goes if you turn it back on.
