How Do I Share Only One Section in OneNote?

Published in Note Taking 2 mins read

You can't directly share a single section in OneNote. However, you can achieve this by creating a separate notebook containing only the section you want to share. Here's how:

  1. Create a New Notebook: In your OneNote application, go to "File" > "New" > "Notebook." Choose a name for your new notebook and select a location to save it.
  2. Move the Section: Open the notebook containing the section you want to share. Right-click on the section tab and select "Move or Copy."
  3. Select Destination: Choose the newly created notebook as the destination and click "Move."
  4. Share the Notebook: Now, you can share the entire notebook containing the single section using the "Share" button in the top right corner of the OneNote window.

Alternatively:

  • Copy and Paste: You can copy and paste the contents of the section into a new notebook or even a new document. However, this method might not preserve the original formatting and structure.

Practical Insights:

  • This method allows you to share specific information without sharing the entire notebook.
  • You can also use the "Share" button to give others edit access or only view access to the notebook.

Examples:

  • You can share a section containing your meeting notes with your team members without sharing your entire personal notebook.
  • You can create a separate notebook for a project and share it with your colleagues, allowing them to access only the relevant information.
