Notes dissapear on macOS Catalina 10.15.1

I noticed by mac notes are set to be saved in iCloud, however only my iPhone notes are stored in iCloud notes after I checked.

Trying to make my mac notes appear in iCloud as well, I have unchecked the Notes checkbox in Notes->Accounts->iCloud or SystemPreferences->InternetAccounts->iCloud. After this, my mac notes disappeared completely. The notes didn't sync in cloud after all and I am not able to restore them from anywhere.

I do not understand why although my notes were set to be saved in cloud already, they were not and now they are gone.

Could someone offer some help with this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

You had turned off notes from Mac , once again turn it on https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/icloud/mmb1de40d9/1.0/icloud/1.0

The notes are on iCloud and will sync it can take hours depending on network speed .

If the same notes are in iPhone share them https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT206987

Read the article https://support.apple.com/he-il/guide/icloud-iphone-web-only/mmc01dd22cb9/1.0/icloud/1.0

Note : update the Mac to 10.15.7 , also supplementary updates .
