Hello, I was just typing some notes in my OneNote notebook, then all of a sudden, a few of my sections disappeared, even the one I was typing in! It was strange because not all of my sections disappeared, but about 3 of them (I think.

I can't even remember which ones were there.). The section I was typing in that disappeared ended up being in the Unfiled Notes section, so luckily I was able to move that one back to where it belongs. Best shooting games for mac on app store. However the other 2 or 3 sections are nowhere to be found! I looked in the recycle bin of my OneNote notebook, recycle bin on the computer, and everything!

The sections are gone. Is there any way I can recover my entire Notebook from a previous time or something?

When I switched from PC to Mac, giving up my notebook program, Microsoft Office OneNote, was one of my main concerns. OneNote was fantastic for keeping track of all my writing notes, and I needed something to replace it before I was willing to switch.

Could I have hit some keyboard short cut to permanently delete the sections? I need this content back! Microsoft, please help!! Thanks, Matt Matt Riedel.

When I knew that we were planning a migration to SharePoint Online at work, I read up feverishly on everything Microsoft posted about best practices. It was clear that closing Notebooks in OneNote 2016 was very helpful for a seamless experience for end users. However, I’ve been curious about what would happen if a OneNote Notebook was moved before all the users closed the Notebook in OneNote 2016. What kind of sync error message would they see? How easy or hard would it be to get them back to a happy place?

So I ran an experiment and here’s what I found. Below is a screenshot of a Notebook (“vEvents”) that lived in a SharePoint 2013 site on-premises that was rebuilt in SharePoint Online and had all the files migrated. As soon as the files in the old site were set to read-only, the sync icon in SharePoint 2016 became a red X. When I checked the Notebook Sync Status screen, the Notebook gave this error: OneNote 2016 obviously can’t tell the difference between a moved or deleted Notebook.

All it knows is when it looks in the location that the Notebook Properties says the file should be, it is not there. I decided to try closing the Notebook to see what would happen, as I knew in this case I could not move the Notebook back to the original location or make that SharePoint library editable again. When you go to close the notebook, you get the following warning: “[If you close the Notebook,] the sections that have not synced will be moved to Misplaced Sections, at the bottom of your Notebook list.” Taking a risk, I pressed OK, and discovered the Misplaced Sections appeared below the Quick Notes button in the Notebook pane. When I clicked on it, a pop-out appeared showing the two sections that previously lived in my vEvents Notebook.
