The database will already have been updated if the device had been sleeping.

You can avoid the issue by turning off the automatic power off. There is very little reason to do this as the devices are are reasonably efficient when sleeping and should last many days in that state.
Hi @davidfor. As always, really insightful information.

I turned off the feature and I agree that there is not that much usefulness for it, but here is the big deal: if it is available for the user, that should work properly.

In my opinion, everything related to hand writing is really bad implemented. If the device saves things to the DB when it sleeps, same thing should happen for the PDF, notebooks etc.. someone just "forgot" to specify that in a development ticket

Once more, thank you for your opinion and information.
