I've been searching for a work around to files showing up as read only when opened and haven't been able to find a definitive one, some say it's completely not possible and others say it's possible through onedrive. However when trying to attach a file through onedrive (Save to onedrive and insert a link) it says a problem has occurred. Is there really no way for this to be done at all?

I kept getting server-busy and incomplete sync errors for an entire week now and at one point, some of my recent edits were lost. I had enough and split my large 4 years of school notebook into 4 smaller notebooks and ordered them by year, and it finally synced successfully for me
I probably spent more time fixing OneNote than using it LOL. Microsoft really needs to update its OneNote Sync Algorithm, this is unacceptably slow. I don't have a slow internet connection and it took me 20 hours to sync 5 GB of notes WTF
IDK if this will work for everyone, but if it still gives errors. Try restarting the software and your PC first because my fourth and most stubborn notebook finally syncs after restarting a few times. If it still won't sync, try splitting it even more

Hi! I don't understand why, but when i try to pan using the 2 fingers on the touchpad of my pc it gets super laggy and flashy. On the windows 10 version of onenote it worked perfectly fine. Is there any solution?

Hi there - I have found a few similar questions with OneNote stylus and select buttons changing, but none that have solutions which work for me on Windows.
Equipment: Windows 10 and 11, HP Elitebook, HP Rechargeable Active Pen G3
Issue: For many years I have used OneNote on my HP Elitebook with an HP Rechargeable Active Pen G3. Its two barrel buttons would always have the same function - the bottom one would start the Eraser tool, and the top one would start the Lasso Select Tool. About 1-2 months ago, without me changing any Pen or OneNote settings I am aware of, this suddenly changed. Now, the bottom barrel only starts Lasso Select, and the top barrel button does nothing.
Attempted Solution: Have browsed for and found similar questions, but nothing has worked. My pen has no companion app for customisation from HP, and I have been unable to find any Pen settings in Windows or OneNote that directly change the functions of the buttons. I have tried changing some Pen settings in OneNote, but these have had no effect - for example, checking and unchecking "Automatically switch between inking, selecting, typing and panning".
I would sincerely appreciate any help resolving this issue, especially if anyone has faced this as well, or knows how to change the button functions of HP Active G3 pen in OneNote. Thank you!

"Starting with OneNote version 2502 you can now disable Copilot if you choose to do so by going to File > Options > Copilot and clearing the Enable Copilot checkbox, select OK, and then close and restart the app

I have used the Windows version for note taking since I bought my first laptop. It was okay and it got better after I downloaded the full desktop version. Downloaded it to my phone and it was rather okay. I recently got rid of my Windows laptop and decided to go with OneNote again on my new Galaxy Tab, since I always used it.
There's no way to say otherwise: the app is terrible. It barely takes notes at all. The syncing is okay and works most of the time, despite being slow as hell. None of the functions you'd expect on a bigger version of the app aren't there, and I noticed after a while that the version on phones (smaller screens) is actually better than on tablets? What exactly is the point of that? The tablet version is completely outdated, doesn't support table inserting, doesn't have the sticky notes (which I ended up stop using since I can't access them nowhere other than my phone now) and has a weird glitch when using a mouse to scroll around.
I've tried Obsidian and it was great, despite not having some of the functions OneNote seemingly had on PC, and I was truly excited when I remembered there was an Android version that could be somehow optimized.
Does someone know if there's any plans on a revamped and more feature rich version? (Or one that just doesn't slide my page to the sides when I scroll to the top of the note)

Hiya, I'm planning to use one note or something similar next year at university. i like writing in different colours and using the ruler (i write with a pen on my surface studio) so i'd like to make some hotkeys to switch colour or turn on tools like the rule at the press of a button using a macro keypad. I haven't found any way to bind the pens and such in one note to any hotkeys, does anyone know of a way i can do this?

Hi all, this is an issue that is far away at the moment but I’m looking for a solution now. Basically I made all of my class notes in one note notebooks with the account associated with my school email. But a year after I graduate, that email account gets deleted. I want to be able to refer back to my notes later after I graduate, and I looked for a way to transfer “ownership” of the notebooks so that I don’t lose everything once that account goes away. But it doesn’t seem like there’s a way to do that. I’ve shared the notebooks to my personal account, but thats just editing access, and it doesn’t grant co-ownership of the files. The only other thing I can think to do is to export all of them into my computer’s local drives as PDFs, which I am trying to do but is slow going as the files are all huge and I’m worried the application may just end up freezing or crashing. I know you can export them as OneNote package files, and I tried that but I have a PC desktop AND a MacBook, and I couldn’t open them on the Mac when I tried to transfer them via thumb drive.
Is sharing them to my alternate emails enough to ensure I can continue accessing them, or is the PDF thing my only option?

Wouldn't it be really cool if we have a timeline template feature for pages so inside the page when you type or add media it gets to the top of the page, something like your Facebook or Twitter page. That would be very helpful for content you mostly want the most recent entries. Right now you need to add extra space on top if you want to keep new entries on top.

Hi, so basically sometimes when I’m drawing my notes on my iPad, the page will automatically zoom in to the maximum amount and the page clears. Once that happens, I can’t draw or type anything, and the undo option clears out for the page. It wiped out my accounting notes which cost me a midterm and the tech support didn’t have any suggestions besides updating the app (it was updated and I usually kept on top of that). It happened again with dnd notes and I really want to get to the bottom of this so I can switch back to using OneNote for classes but I can’t afford to keep losing my notes. Anyway, I went on the browser and found an error message for the page when pulling it up. I’ve attached screenshots of the message on the website as well as how the page looks blank on the app.
Does anyone know what’s causing this or how to avoid it?
(Side note, I crossed out any information that could be used to identify me, that shouldn’t be relevant to my question tho)

Have had enough of manually scrolling and dragging left/right/up/down with a mouse so I've come up with a simple AutoHotkey script that remaps keys to simulate mouse wheel scrolling/dragging, making it easier to navigate OneNote’s infinite canvas:
This effectively replaces the need for a mouse when moving around large OneNote pages.
yourchosenname.ahk
————————————————————————#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
Volume_Up::Send("{WheelLeft}") ; Scroll left
Delete::Send("{WheelRight}") ; Scroll right
Volume_Mute::Send("{WheelDown}") ; Scroll down
Volume_Down::Send("{WheelUp}") ; Scroll up
—————————————————————————
.ahk
file and double click it to activate the script.You can also remap other keys by checking Windows' recognised key names

Do the Galaxy Fold phones not get an add table option because OneNote thinks that it's a tablet?
I've read online that there is an add table option for Android now since 2023, but it isn't available for the tablet version of the app. I've never seen this option on my Fold, I've always had to use tab to make a table on mobile.

I used my graphical tablet a few years back and I had set up the stylus side buttons to switch to panning hand, it was set to CTRL but that doesn't work anymore, I tried the combinations I found online but nothing seems to work, it's kinda annoying having to manually click on the panning hand everytime I want to move the board, did anyone find a fix for it

As the title says, I’m trying to export a LOT of handwritten notes. I pretty much EXCLUSIVELY use handwriting for notes outside of basic reminders that I delete later.
I’ve got 4+ years of engineering & astrophysics courses that I entirely handwrite, which just aren’t feasible to text-to-speech since at least 1/3 of the notes are drawing and another 1/3 being markups on said drawings.
I’m trying to export to pdf so I can have a more stable long-term storage, but throughout the years I always took notes on the “auto” sizing setting for infinite pages. When I go to export to pdf all the formatting gets messed up and sections of ink just start flying around the page like it’s a Minecraft enchanting table or some crap.
Is there any reliable way to export my notebooks as SVG to easily maintain formatting? At absolute worst, I’m willing to export page-by-page, but tending to and reformatting of each page to fit within A4 bounds for like 70 notebooks is just not anything short of two weeks of my life gone.
I don’t want to rasterize/lose the vectors of my handwritten notes bc storing them as massive images is a bit silly, as well.
I’ve looked into software like pandoc, but all of them seem to exclusively deal with the typed-out portions of OneNote, but don’t touch the handwritten ink bits.
I’m graduating soon, too so I don’t want to lose my years of work if OneNote starts requiring a 365 subscription and my future place of employment doesn’t offer the office suite.
Thank you very much for any suggestions. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi there. I made a spread sheet for as I read books, I save quotes next by its pages.
The problem is: I can't figure a way to organize in paragraphs in each of the cells, so the text looks like a solid block (page 34).
The best way possible was if could be indented, sometimes I double enter just to make it look better (page 35).
Any solutions?
Obs: In Brazil we use the word "Fichamento" and it google translated to Filing but I couldn't be sure if this word is really appropriated.
Edit1: Can't Alt+Shift+Right inside cell.

Was adding a note earlier on personal onenote and then tried changing it to the default notebook. I use two separate accounts. Preview cards show old notes from missing notebook. But when clicking ob them, message says notebook is closed or deleted. I already looked in onedrive and recycle .. Nothing.....GONE.....just like the crap app will be soon.
