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,

I have learnt about GeoGebra app while learning about One note from one of the Youtube videos.

I have tried it and i see that produces good charts. But it does not the values used in the x variable to calculate the Y value.

In the attached screen dump I have shown the table calculated by me. the function graph has been copy[-pasted from Geogebra.

CAn you someone please guide me to a app/url which plot the function and shows the table.

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.

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…

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?

Hi,

My iPhone doesn’t sync with cloud (see pix below) yet my PC and iPad syncs with no problem.


How can we fix this?

Hi,

We have in our computer Microsoft OneNote 2016.  We wanted to know when a user places a password in a section, is the entire section encrypted with the password, or the password is just for opening the section (in other words, another person can see the contents if he/she knew where the files were saved)? - same question on the OneNote data sync in OneDrive.com

We have OneNote 2016 and we attach a lot of files to notes (where the  file is saved in the OneNote page, not as link).  The inconvenient is that when inserting these files, it always displays as a large icon.  Below is a pix os a sample OneNote page.  Notice the 2 files as large icons, we want them to be display as like a hyperlink (the circled in red).  Is there a way of doing this?


Please note, that we want the files embedded within  the OneNote not an external link (we want it to be  displayed as an external link).

We have Outlook 2010 and OneNote 2016.  In Outlook we have the 'OneNotes about Outlook' add-ins is active.  However when we click the OneNote button we get message "before you can use this feature onenote must start for the first time" and nothing happens ().


Please advice what is missing to make this work.
