I have one section of one notebook in OneNote that keeps coming up with Couldn't Sync and showing the Error Code: 0xE0000007. I have gone through all the steps shown online:
Open the OneNote online, then open the Notebook section and use 'Open in OneNote' to open it on my desktop. Then try to sync - failed
Copy (not Move) all of the notes in the affected section to a newly minted section, delete the original section and sync the new one - failed
So I tried making some minor changes in the section, re-synced, got the 'Couldn't Sync' error, but when I check back online all of the changes I made have synced. Why am I getting this error?

Wow, MS sure likes to keep us in the dark. All they can give us is that they "updated the application with optimizations". Such clarity!!
Trying 15.4 now. It'll take a few days if not a couple of weeks to see if there's a fix that will last. Last update I was error-free for a couple of weeks, then the old same error came back.
So, we shall see.
Has anyone tried the 15.40.0 onenote update? Does it fix this annoying error 7?
Thank you Microsoft that you do not want to add option to do local backup in Onenote for Mac. I lost all data when closed and opened not synchronised pages.
Thanks you for the information about the self-help article. We have updated it based on your information.
