Microsoft OneNote Help & Support

I would like someone to show me the proper method on how to rename a One Note Notebook and make sure that the new name changes as well in my Documents One Note Notebook folder as well as in One Drive. The way I know of is to change the name in my Documents of the One Note Notebook then go to that Notebook click File-Open-Browse-Then Open and the new name was changed. But when I went to One Drive the name was not changed!!!

Thank you,

I been having this issue with Microsoft One Note for this past week. Whenever I open it from the task bar shortcut or programs I get this message that it is cleaning up followed by I need to restart the computer and then open it and then it works. I been restarting the computer but that gets very annoying every time and time consuming. Can someone tell me why am I having this issue now and what is the simplest solution? See screen capture.

Thank you,

How to recover OneNote data.

Had to reset a PC running windows 10. Selected the save my files option. Fortunately 'My Documents' was redirected to a server location to ensure daily backup. Applications have been reinstalled including Office 2019 std. Almost a painless but time consuming incident. I said almost... Microsoft OneNote comes up with no notes. I am looking for a means to get it to recognize the previous data which looks to still be in a 'documents\onenote' folder. There is also data in the 'windows.old' folder created by the reset which has data in an appropriate 'appdata' folder. Exercising my Google-fu I am looking for a graceful way to recover the notes either from the data files themselves, or from the backup folder left behind in the old appdata folder. Everything I am finding so far starts with "Click File.....", however there is no "file" to click in the 2019 OneNote application!
Can anyone point to a way to recover the notebook?

Hello,

I am copying over pages of OneNote (version 2016) to Word 2010 to prepare an extended document. I have noticed that when copying over, the indents/bullets are off (not all the times, but most). Can an expert help on how to properly copying OneNote pages to a word document as precise as possible preserving the OneNote bullets and indents locations.

I have a large enterprise organization 35k+ users, have a hybrid coexistence with exchange online, identity sync to Azure for Office 365.

I'm currently using folder redirection with my Windows 10 environment to local profiles from my home drive server.

I need to migrate everyone to OneDrive for profile redirection, using Known Folder moves through folder redirection / Group policy seems like a sound option:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/redirect-known-folders
What this is missing are two things for me:

1. Absence of auditing/logging
2. Remediation of files/folders before redirecting

I'm aware Fasttrack provides services, pre-provisioning onedrive, migrations, this will give me what I'm looking for, but are there any ways to fill in the gaps on the above without having Micrsosoft do a migration? Scipts that remediate/identify or logging?

Any resources or info on this is greatly appreciated!

How to export OneNote data from a personal account to a business account?
A user has a OneNote personal account and the data is stored on OneDrive. I need to export the data or OneNote workbooks to OneDrive for Business.

Things tried: Visited the OneNote files online and tried to open the data in the OneNote 2016, applications, but the button open in OneNote was not present, via the web browser.

Proposed solution: Purchase a Microsoft Office subscription for the personal account for one month, so I can download the OneNote file to the desktop version of OneNote.

Look for an alternative product to OneNote.

Login to to Microsoft Office 365 with the personal account and see if I can open the OneNote data in OneNote 2016, then back up the data, locally. Note, I already shared the data with the personal account, with edit permissions.

Any suggestions?

OneNote 2007 running on Windows 10 Pro became very slow loading after the turning on the PC.
It takes over 10 minutes to load even when no notebooks are open. Checked network speed, LAN speed, all OK. Did also a repair Office, no change.
Once it opened the first time, after that it's very fast (normal), one can close it, opens fast next time, until the next reboot.

All of our staff are using Office 365.
We have a separating staff member that has extensive pages/files of OneNote documents. We need to give another person Full rights to all of her OneNote documents. As an example, for OneDrive we this type of permissions via SharePoint admin console. We prefer not to share individual pages as this is very cumbersome.

Does anyone know procedures to give Full access to another persons OneNote documents?

HI,

I was checking my disk space and saw that a onenote backup folder was at least 10gb large. The folder is 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote\16.0\Backup' . Yet, another folder 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote\14.0\Backup' was empty (also in the "14.0" folder was a 'OneNoteOfflineCache_Files' folder which in all the "14.0" contents was 45mb).

Can I delete both folders of,
'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote\16.0\Backup'
'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote\14.0\Backup' ?

or what is recommended for managing these backups?

Thank you.

I have Windows 7 and Office 365.
One Note keeps on appearing on my task bar and I don't want it on my task bar.
Every time I boot my pc, it appears on my task bar.
I can't find it in my STARTUP group.
And
I couldn't find it in HKLM > Software> Microsoft> Windows>Current Version > Run either.
How do I get rid of this. I do not want to uninstall it, just not have it appear when I start my pc.

Hi Experts,

we have a strange ADFS problem.
I hope you can help me out.

Several users cannot connect to O365 trought ADFS.
The error message is, the password is wrong.

The users have changed their passwords on their workstations and the shit started....
When the users connect to adfs link , he cannot login.

This happens from his workstation after the password change.
But when the user goes to another workstation, he logs in, then it works.

Conclusion: after a password change from the own workstation, all microsoft products are unusable.

Do you have any ideas what to check ?

I have changed the first & last name of my onedrive.com profile. However, when going to onenote.com I see the old first/last name at the top-right of the web browser. In onenote.com I created a new notebook and I return to onedrive.com, right-click on the new notebook name and click Details, in the right side under "Added", the old first/last name is displayed. How can I fixed this and have my new profile name appear when in onenote.com and have my new profile names when seeing the details of any onenote files in onedrive.com?

I have noticed that my onenote notebooks files, version 2016, are open in my local c drive; found them in 'C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote' (in backup location of onenote) and 'c:\Users\username\Documents\OneNote Notebooks' (the default location). I want to transfer them to an encrypted volume so I decided to uninstall completely and reinstall again, but no success. How can I install onenote 2016 to an encrypted volumne successfully?

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 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?
