Export a OneNote notebook

To download a notebook from OneNote to your computer, do the following:

  1. In Google Chrome, go to OneNote for the web.
    ​

  2. Sign in with your CGA Student email address for the Microsoft account containing the notebook you want to download. (Skip this step if you’re already signed in.)
    ​

  3. Under My Notebooks, right-click (PC) or Control-click (Mac) the name of the notebook that you want to export, and then click Export notebook.
    ​

  4. On the screen that opens, click Export.
    ​

  5. Follow your browser’s prompts to save the file in the location you choose.

    Note: If the notebook you’re exporting is very large or contains a large number of images or file attachments, it could take a long time to download your content. Make sure you have enough space on your hard drive to complete the download.

Import a OneNote notebook

To import a notebook to OneNote that you’ve previously downloaded, do the following:

  1. Unzip the folder found in the file you previously downloaded (see “Export a OneNote notebook” earlier in this article). This unzipped folder is your notebook folder.
    ​

  2. In Google Chrome, go to the OneNote Notebook Importer.
    ​

  3. On the screen that opens, click Import.
    ​

  4. On your computer, navigate to the location of your notebook folder (see Step 1), click to select it, and then click Open to import it.


    ​Tip: If the import process begins but then appears not to finish, your OneDrive account might be low on available space. Manually delete any unnecessary files from your OneDrive storage (including any failed notebook uploads) and then try importing the notebook folder again.
