I can see the update in App Store on my computer, but Drafts is still version 11. No Update button in App Store, just Open. Shall I just wait and see?

This may be a matter of time. I have noticed similar issues from Sweden earlier but after a day or so everything was working just fine.

Now it’s updated and fine.

First of all, I’d like to say that it’s fantastic to finally have support for multiple windows! :heart_eyes:

However, I did notice that Drafts doesn’t appear to preserve my open windows when it is re-launched. Is there a preference to enable this behavior, or is it on the roadmap for future versions?

Thanks!
