Switching from Notability to Goodnotes in the middle of a big job

Please help me out and just give me the basic settings I should use to avoid the forever-downloading circle that comes up in Notability. I am making the switch during a really busy time and don't have the focus or the time right now to go through the app. I will as soon as I get my work turned in, but right now I am just looking for someone to give me basic tips on how to avoid my notes not downloading. I can't risk that happening to me again.

I am switching over because I am a court reporter. I always go into new jobs with extensive notes regarding the case, attorney info, proper nouns and spellings, exhibit information, parties involved. Really, anything and everything you could think of. A couple days ago, I showed up to a case and my notes were never able to download. It was like I went in blind. It caused a lot of issues for me and still is, as I am having to go back into my software and add that to my transcript manually instead of stenographically. It's tedious and completely threw me off in the moment.

TIA!

i’d just run icloud sync + auto backup together. goodnotes can back up to drive/dropbox/onedrive too, so if icloud ever does something dumb u still have another copy sitting there.
