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.

I use multiple computers, including a work desktop, a work laptop and my home desktop.  I have linked my personal OneDrive account on all of the PCs that I use.  

A while back, I began using OneNote 2016.  Being a bit OCD, I am trying to organize my OneNote Notebooks and consolidate them into one area; preferably in a folder on my personal OneDrive account.  

I began by going into OneNote 2016 on all of the PCs that I use and went to File / Options / Save & Backup and set the default notebook location to c:\users\my.name\OneDrive\Documents\OneNote Notebooks.  I thought this would become the save location of any new notebooks that I created but apparently I was wrong.  

Scenario 1 - When I create a new notebook in OneNote 2016, my personal OneDrive account is selected in the left column (the other options are This PC, Add a Place and Browse).  If I type in the notebook name and hit create notebook then it creates a shortcut for the notebook in my personal OneDrive account within the Documents folder.  There is no directory created with the .one or .onetoc2 files saved in it; only the shortcut.  

Scenario 2 - If I create a new notebook in OneNote 2016, and click on "Create in a Different Folder" it opens a file explorer window showing the folders within the following  path "https://d.docs.live.net/2bef2cbcexxxxxx" which appears to by my personal OneDrive account.  If I click on my personal OneDrive account on the left hand side of the file explorer window, browse to…

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

PROBLEM
OneNote won't start on my Win7 PC (installed, desktop version).

Additional Info:
Won't start as Administrator.
Won't start when Antivirus is disabled.

As far as I can recall, I didn't do anything to disrupt this program.
The program runs fine on my mobile devices and in the browser(s) of my PC (Firefox and gChrome).

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

We have an issue on a large Citrix Environment with One Note 2010 backup files and also the Cache file location.
When a user is logging on and opening One Note (users have many  notes open on taskbar). The backup is ran once per day as per default and then fills the Citrix Vdisk cache up causing issues. To get around the backup issues we can setup a GPO and disable backup and also redirect the folder to the user home file store.

The main issue we have is around the One Note Cache how do we successfully tackle that. When a user opens One Note with all the Notes a cache database is created in local / appdata  with cache data, in some cases this can grow to a very large size on a Citrix worker server and will also fundamental cause Vdisk cache issues.
The only solution I have see is to use Symbolic link to redirect the folder / files to a drive location other than the drive of the worker server.

There is also an option set to optimize files, which can cause an issues where it optimizes the databases as per default, can this also be disabled ?

Has anyone else worked around this issue in a VDI / Terminal Server / Citrix environment ?

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.

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…

I am piloting One Note for our School Improvement Plans for our school district.  I need to be able to merge cells to use one note for this purpose.  How can this be done, or when will it be available?  I love one note and would love to have it as our primary recommendation for district wide use.
