A family of Microsoft products that enable users to capture, organize, and reuse notes electronically.
Found a solution/workaround for when this happens. If you copy the notebook, close the old one, and reopen the new copy it will reset your sync. You may need to reshare the link with anyone else you want to work on the notebook. But this worked for me.
- Open the Notebook that you want to copy. With the Notebook open …
- Click on "File" then "Export"
- Export Current: Click on "Notebook"
- Select Format: Click on "OneNote package (*.onepkg)"
- Click on "Export" to begin the copy process
- File Explorer opens---choose where the copy of the Notebook is to be placed (Ex. This PC, Documents folder or OneDrive, Documents folder). Remember, if you want to be able to share this Notebook or access it from anywhere, it must be placed in OneDrive. So, click on OneDrive, then Documents.
- "Open" the Documents folder and give the Notebook a new name--it must be different from the original name of the Notebook, then click on "Save"
- Open File Explorer again and find the Notebook with the new name.
- Double-click on it to unpack it.
- Click on "Create" to create the copied Notebook with the new name.
- Good Luck
This worked for me as well! This just started for me. I noticed that my notebook wasn't up to date on the OneNote app on my phone. Then noticed that the notebook was having the same syncing issue on the desktop app that everyone is describing in this thread.
