You can restore a OneNote notebook from SharePoint by accessing the version history of the notebook file. Here's how:
- Navigate to the SharePoint site: Open your web browser and go to the SharePoint site where your OneNote notebook is stored.
- Locate the notebook file: Find the folder containing your notebook.
- Access version history: Right-click on the notebook file and select "Version History".
- Select the desired version: A list of previous versions of the notebook will appear. Select the version you want to restore.
- Restore the version: Click "Restore" to restore the selected version of the notebook. This will overwrite the current version with the selected version.
Important Notes:
- Version History: SharePoint retains previous versions of files for a certain period. The available version history depends on your SharePoint site's settings.
- Overwriting: Restoring a previous version will overwrite the current version of the notebook. Make sure you understand the implications before restoring.
- Synchronization: After restoring, ensure your OneNote client synchronizes with the SharePoint site to reflect the restored version.
Example:
Let's say you accidentally deleted some important notes from your OneNote notebook. You can use the version history to restore the notebook to a point before the deletion.
Practical Insights:
- Regularly backing up your OneNote notebooks is a good practice. This can be done by saving a copy of the notebook to your local computer.
- If you need to recover a notebook from a deleted version, you may need to contact your SharePoint administrator for assistance.
