Description
### Expected
The app should sync on every device it doesn't matter if it's on Markdown >Preview or Markdown > Edit.
### Observed
When I am on MARKDOWN > PREVIEW on the Android App, and on MARKDOWN>EDIT on my Windows App. The changes made on the Windows App don't sync with the Android App. When I go back to the Android App and make a change, it syncs with the desktop app, and every unsynced previous change on my desktop app disappears.
### Reproduced
1. Open a note on MARKDOWN > PREVIEW on the mobile app
2. Open the same note MARKDOWN>EDIT on the Desktop app
3. Stay on MARKDOWN>EDIT on Windows App, make changes to the note
4.Go back to the Android App. Now switch from PREVIEW> Edit, and make different changes from the one made on the windows app.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the listed Android and Windows PREVIEW/EDIT sequence and verify whether desktop edits disappear after an Android edit. Start by tracing the Android app's note editing and synchronization flow; done means edits made in either client sync across devices without losing earlier unsynced changes.
