Microsoft OneNote Help

I need a user at work to have OneNote connected to her Outlook.
She had both "OneNote 2016 and the newer "OneNote." In her Outlook, when she clicked the OneNote button, it opened the older OneNote (OneNote 2016). She wanted Outlook to open the newer one (OneNote) but I could not get her Outlook to do that. So I had to delete OneNote 2016 (which entailed deleting some .exe file, because it wasn't listed in her "Programs and Features" and thus I could not delete it from there). But then that caused her Outlook not to be able to use any version of OneNote. So I had to delete her Microsoft Office. But then I couldn't re-install Office because she also had Visio and Project installed. So I had to uninstall both those products. Then I was able to re-install her Office, and then had to reinstall Project and Visio.
Now the OneNote button is not visible anywhere in her Outlook.
In her Outlook I went to "Options \ Add-ins." OneNote is not listed as an active application nor as an inactive one (it's not listed at all). When I set the drop-down box to "COM Add-ins" and click "Go," OneNote is not listed there either.
She currently has Office 2016, 64-bit.

I noticed in Onenote there is always in a certain notebook a A new QUICK NOTE TAB gets created on it's own. I deleted it and then it regenerates itself back again . is there away to stop this from happening? Once again the odd thing it only occurs on one notebook.

I would like what is the normal behaviour when you send an email from MS outlook 365 to Onenote? Is the email supposed to remain in outlook after it is saved in Onenote OR is it supposed to be deleted from Outlook?

Hi Guys,
I got sharepoint in office365.
got multiple folders in a site.
users got one drive client and everything syncs to it.
all folders works fine. except one folder. whenever i try to open a file from that folder it keeps on saying. the "file is open in another program" or the "directory name is invalid". but it works fine when i open in webbrowser. and its the same problem for all users. so its not a local computer issue.

I also tried syncing to a new computer and still same issue with that particular folder.
things i have tried.
1.synched to new computer- same issue
2 tried resynching. reinstalled one drive. re synched same issue
3. tried renaming the folder in the cloud console and tried resynching- same issue.

not sure what else to do. any ideas would be great.
please have a look for the error messages.

For some strange reason a users OneNote in his iPhone is super slow in pages that have lot of data. This problem has never occur and the user has a bunch of pages clogged with data and always OneNote has need working optimum.

Today we noticed the user typed and the characters were super slow to appear the pages with lots of data (FYI there is no images in these pages just typed data and links) - below is a vid of said problem. However in a new page or a small or regular page contents, typing is ok.

What can be going on? Please advice.

Hi,

I'm having trouble with not being able to sync in OneNote 2016, it errors out stating 'We need the password to sync this notebook. Error code 0xE0000024'.
This happened after I upgraded my machine to Office 2016 from Office 2007.

I researched the error and deleted all cached credentials in Control Panel > Users, no change.
I signed out of OneNote and signed back in with my Windows credentials, no change.
I signed into One Note Online and did not see my notes there either.

Any other ideas?

Gracias...

I'm using Outlook 2010 in a corporate environment and soon to be migrating to 2013.
I'm also using OneNote.
It seems that when I right click on an email to save it to one note, the attachment is saved in my C:\Users\<ID>\AppData\Local\Temp\OneNoteAttachments area.
How can I change where this is kept. Just had a issue with someone clearing space and thinking the AppData\Temp directory was just that, Temp.

Would like to avoid that in the future.

One Note - Conflicts
Hi, we have a 15 tab excel spreadsheet within One Note that is shared by two people.
Even though we don't edit the same cells, and we try and close the spreadsheet when we aren't using it, we constantly get conflicts within One Note and end up losing work as we cant remember what has been changed.
One note does allow you to compare the spreadsheet with the conflict sheet, but as far as I can tell, doesn't tell you what's different. Its not practical for me to compare 15 sheets with loads of data in each.
Is there any way to prevent this or can One Note show the exact cell(s) that are conflicting (it obviously knows them to report in the first place)
many thanks
Rick

I have a user who is an avid user of OneNote with our company Office365 subscription. I am not a big OneNote user so I am a little unclear on how the syncing of Notebooks happens. The issue is, his are not syncing and only seem to be local. We are not sure what happened... he had them on OneDrive for Business , 'cleaned up' his OneDrive and somehow (i have concluded) deleted these notebooks.

OK, so he still has his local copies, but they are not syncing to anything anymore.

All I want to do is to basically take a current copy of his local notebooks and put them back up on his OneDrive and then re-start the sync to them again. However, this is where my inexperience with OneNote comes in because I guess notebook files are a different animal than an excel file or a word file as I cant seem to figure out how to make a copy of the local notebook, save it on OneDrive, and then point the local copy to it to begin syncing.... as easy as that would seem to be- apparently it is not.

Can anyone assist?

Thank you!

Dear experts,

In my onenote16 I can see the option to draw shapes under menu Draw and Option shapes.
But there are so limited number of shapes, is there a way I can increase these in this option?

I am trying to draw circles for set theory and shade them. Once done, I want to group them so that I use it as picture. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you

I've got a Microsoft OneNote notebook that is shared with a group of people via Sharepoint in Office365. We have a particular section (tab) of OneNote that is password protected. I've set that up and everything is working fine. However, the problem is that the other users the notebook have changed the password settings so that in locks password protection sections after say 8 hours of inactivity. That's too much of a security risk. I would like to set it to lock after say 30 minutes of inactivity and make it so that the other users cannot change that. Does anyone know of a way to do that?

Thanks very much.

Sharing OneNote document to external contacts using Specific people

I am having an issue sharing OneNote documents to external contacts. We are all using Office 365 Business.

I just found that if I share the document from OneNote to specific people (to my gmail account for example), I am required to enter a login and a password which is not the expected behavior.

But if I navigate the SharePoint Site Assets, find the OneNote document and share it (still to specific people), it correctly shares the file and I am able to click the "send code" button.

So my issue is really why the OneNote does not allow the share to behave correctly?

My users are not tech-savvy so asking them to drill down the site assets to find the file is not an option.

Thanks.

Need to transfer one note files (2013) to a new computer. I had recently installed office 365 apps to the new computer so all of them are updated to 2016 version. How do you transfer the one not info to the new computer?

We are using Office 365 Sharepoint for storing One Note files. The users access these files via a mapped drive on their PCs. The users work on the notebooks with the desktop One Note application. The mapped drive is just pointing to the online Sharepoint site where the files are stored. This setup works but the issue is that when a user wants to create a new notebook or file...the mapped drive frequently displays an error saying it cannot be accessed. This is because the user needs to re-authenticate with Office 365. That means they have to:

1. Open Internet Explorer (no other browser, not even Edge, works)
2. Log into Office 365
3. Open Sharepoint
4. Navigate to the Site and go to Documents
5. Select to 'Open in Windows Explorer'
6. Now they can access the mapped drive.
7. In the OneNote desktop app, they can now browse to the drive to add/create new OneNote files.

Clearly, it's too many steps to reasonably expect users to do every time they want to create new OneNote files.
Microsoft has built the 'One Drive for Business' app for syncing files but unfortunately OneNote files are a special case where this app doesn't work. All the app does is create a URL shortcut to the location of the file online. There is no way the user can use this sync function to create new OneNote files.

What is the best way to set up this sync so users can avoid the hassle of doing steps 1-7 every time they want to create a new One Note? Maybe Microsoft hasn't built a way...are there…

We just deletes a series of Microsoft OneNote Notebook from a computer, leaving just a few due to the tasks of the PC computers. We know that when using OneNote, it keeps a copy locally. We want to delete from the local drive any contents related to the notebooks we deleted. What is the best way to go about it?

Hi Everyone,
I have a client with a OneNote Account and a few folders. OneNote syncs to her MS Account online. Yesterday, it stopped syncing and produces this error code. Please see the attached screenshot.

Here are the facts:
>The Primary OneNote folder was created by a single user and shared with about 4 different unique users. I am focusing on the creator of the OneNote folders
>All users are on Windows 7 64 with MSO365 (Office 2016)
>Syncing stopped at the same time for all PCs - Yesterday about 5p central
>Their OneNote folders total +/-88GB in size with the largest being the one in question
>I can access the folder in OneNote Online
>The user is consuming 50GB of their 107GB of online space
>All other folders appear to be syncing

I have tried:
>In OneNote on the Desktop: Closing the folder, restarting OneNote, re-adding the folder
-The folder still cannot sync and does not download any files etc

Any Suggestions?
