With the recent update to the onenote web browser, you are no longer able to export a notebook via a zip file. How can you zip the notebook so you can export and then import into a new account.

    Hi,

    You can try this, since the OneNote web version no longer supports exporting notebooks as ZIP files, the best workaround is to open the notebook in the OneNote desktop app (OneNote 2016 or OneNote for Windows 10). Once opened, go to File > Export, choose Notebook, and select OneNote Package (.onepkg). You can then save this file locally and later import it into another account by opening it in the same desktop app. If you don’t see the export option, make sure you’re signed in with the correct Microsoft account and have synced all notebooks first. Were you originally exporting from OneNote for Web or from the OneDrive folder directly?

    Kind regards,
