Multiple Copilot notebooks disappeared immediately after sync
Today, after a Copilot synchronisation event, multiple notebooks disappeared from my account.
I observed the notebooks briefly appear on a second device (MacBook Air) and then disappear during synchronisation.
One missing notebook is called VIT. Several other notebooks also disappeared at the same time. Chats associated with those notebooks are no longer visible in chat history.
Other notebooks remain visible. One remaining notebook ("8 STEM") displays the message:
"Limit reached: Copilot can chat about the 20 oldest items in your notebook."
The timing strongly suggests a synchronisation or migration issue rather than accidental deletion.
This content represents a substantial amount of teaching-related work and planning material. Can Microsoft confirm whether the missing notebook and chat data still exists on the backend and whether there is a way to force a resynchronisation?
Additional observations:
The notebooks existed prior to the sync.
Notebooks were briefly visible, then disappeared.
The issue occurs across multiple devices.
Associated chats are also missing.

After the update, all of my Notebooks eventually appeared. That was about 2 weeks ago. Then 2 days ago, at least 5 of my Notebooks vanished, including all of my notes on my cosmological research and for contacting literary agents. I logged into Copilot via Edge, and I too briefly saw all of my Notebooks appear only to have several suddenly vanish right before my eyes. This is very disconcerting.
It's also not the first problem I've encountered since the update a few weeks ago. For instance, Copilot no longer generates Pages as requested, despite it declaring the Page successfully created or updated. It's become very apparent that the update broke something on the backend.Is there and Solution to get back the Notebooks containing the Chats?
