Bookmarks not syncing on Mac

Avatar Richard I
Hi, my mac does not sync its bookmarks with my other devices any more.

Symptoms are:
New bookmarks on iphone sync to ipad OK (so must be going via icloud), but do not make it to the Mac.
New bookmarks on the Mac do not go to the other devices.
The Mac's icloud settings have Safari ticked.
There doesn't seem to be any settings in Safari about bookmarks.

Can anyone solve this puzzle?

Thanks, Richard

Are you using Safari Profiles?

Also,
Try turning off and on your Safari iCloud setting.
If all else fails, try signing out of your apple id on your Mac and signing back in.

Thanks for the suggestions,

No, I don't use profiles.
I tried turning off Safari icloud settings and then on again -no difference
Rebooting the machine afterwards -no effect.

I'll try signing out/in when I pluck up courage -I am wary of ending up unable to log back in because of an inevitable, unexpected problem!

Update: sometimes time does heal. I did nothing else to fix this issue, yet suddenly it started syncing again! Humm…
