If you can’t find a shared note or can’t sign into your account, you can try to fix the problem.
Find notes shared with you
If you can't see a note that's been shared with you, or if someone can't see the note you shared with them, try these steps:
- Check if your device is connected to the Internet.
- Make sure you're signed in to the account the note was shared with.
If you still don’t see the note, the owner may have stopped sharing the note.

- Choose what to save:
- Click the note you want to save, then click Keep selected.

- The owner stopped sharing the note with you.
To see the note:
- Click Request Access to ask the owner to share the note.
- Sign in with the Google Account the note was originally shared with.
