Why can I only see some of the dropped points in my project?
You will only see the dropped points contained in the surveys that are on your device which is controlled by a combination of sync limit and your role within a project. If you need to see more of the dropped points in the project, then increase the mobile sync limit (Project Setup>Project Info>Advanced Settings>Mobile Sync Limit), and/or ask for your role to be changed to either Field Lead or Field User+.

Can I see and edit my points, lines, and polygons in the web app?
You can currently export your data as Geospatial Open Source(GeoJSON). We're also working on letting you directly publish feature layers to your ArcGIS Online account in the future.
How do I export my geospatial data?
You can easily export your Wildnote collected geospatial data by using our Geospatial Open Source(GeoJSON) export type. You can find this in the Wildnote Export Library in any project and add it to your list of available exports. ArcGIS Online and Arc Pro both recognize this file type. Details are available in this article.
