Are you no longer able to save a Onenote Notebook on a file server and share it out that way?
It MUST be shared through a user's one drive? Seems kind of silly if I want to make a department onenote and NOT a department team and just share the notebook out to the department on the fileserver.
Only way to do this that I know of where the notebook isn't tied to the user's Onedrive is by creating a Team in MSFT Teams and putting the notebook there? I don't want to do that.
AFAIK you can put the notebook anywhere you want. When you create a notebook you have the option of placing it into your OneDrive folder, SharePoint or any other folder. So you should be able to create a new notebook on a file share (or probably better in SharePoint). Our team uses SharePoint altogether permissions are still iffy in that case.
If you have an existing notebook that isn't shared yet then you can move it by right-clicking the notebook and selecting Move. However if it is shared then it cannot be moved. The UI provides a link to the steps needed to move a shared notebook but from what I can see it basically just suggests that you create a new notebook in the target location and copy the existing notebook content to it. For small notebooks this is doable but for large one's it can be annoying.
All of the stuff you are saying sounds like it is from onenote 2016 and not onenote for windows 10.
I cannot rightclick a notebook and select move anymore. It looks like the only option is to have it on my onedrive and that is it.
OneNote for Windows 10 - you mean the Windows store version that is auto-installed when you install Windows? The MS Store version is a stripped down version of OneNote. At one point it was supposed to replace the formal desktop version but then MS decided to go back the other way. Right now it is hanging in limbo. Irrelevant OneNote notebooks are compatible with all the apps. That version is for "personal" use and therefore would target OneDrive.
The only workaround to allow you to move to another location is to switch to the desktop version which is free. Personally I only use the desktop version as it is more feature complete. You should be able to install the desktop version, open your existing notebook and then move like mentioned earlier.
If that doesn't work for some reason then one person recommended here a way to move directly in the app but it seems like it would only work for a new account which doesn't seem to be the case for you. Alternatively just copy the contents of the notebook (if it isn't too large).
Hah!! Did not know they were going back on their word and moving away from OneNote for Windows 10!!
Just read this article: https://rcpmag.com/articles/2021/08/05/microsoft-replacement-onenote.aspx#:~:text=The%20OneNote%20for%20Windows%2010,14%2C%202025.
I opened the "OneNote" app and it doesn't appear to have the dark theme page colors by going to View > Page colors which was the main reason I left OneNote 2016.
I refuse to use those bright ass page colors lol
Alright well that answers my question then, thanks. The more you know!
Dark theme is a requirement for me :)
