This morning, I made several changes to a note, then wanted to switch to another note. I got the modal popup that says "You have made changes to this note -- Do you want to save them" with the choices "Cancel" or "Save Changes".
I saw that I needed to fix a typo in the note I'd edited, and hit cancel, at which time Notes removed all my edits and took me to the second Note.
It's probably better design to make a third choice, or make it abundantly clear what's going to happen: Abandon Changes, Cancel (i.e. stop this action, return to the last state), or Save Changes.
Fortunately, I didn't lose a LOT of work, but I could see how that could be dangerous and frustrating to someone that made a lot of changes.
Thanks for considering this.

Hi John,
Thanks for the suggestion - You're right!: "Abandon Changes, Cancel (i.e. stop this action, return to the last state), or Save Changes."
I'll see about implementing this in the next release.
