Microsoft OneNote: Synchronise OneNote Notebooks

  • Created:

OneNote automatically synchronises shared notebooks at regular intervals.  However, you may want to manually sync a shared notebook to make sure your changes get uploaded immediately (for example, if you’re getting on a train and need to shut down your laptop).

1. Click File > Info > View Sync Status.

  • Click Sync Now next to the specific notebook that you want to sync.
