    Each downloaded notebook is saved to your hard drive in Zip file format. If you want to later import a downloaded
    notebook, you’ll need to first unzip its notebook folder from the Zip file, and then import the folder to OneNote for the
    web.

    Tip: If the notebook you’re exporting is very large or contains a large number of image 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.

    Importing OneNote Notebooks:


    To import a notebook to OneNote that you’ve previously downloaded, do the following:
    1. Open OneNote: Launch the OneNote application on your device.
    Tip: Importing notebooks is not currently supported in Windows Internet Explorer. We recommend using
    Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, or any other modern browser in older versions of Windows.

    2. Initiate Import:
    • Unzip the folder found in the file you previously downloaded. This unzipped folder is your
    notebook folder.

    Select the unzipped folder. Select Extract.

    2
    3. Import Process: On the screen that opens, click Import.

    4. Complete Import: On your computer, navigate to the location of your notebook folder (see Step 2),
    click to select it, and then click Upload to import it.

    3
    Confirm the selection of Upload to complete the import process.

    5. Verify Imported Notebook: Once imported, verify that the notebook and its contents appear
    correctly within your OneNote application.

    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.

    Troubleshooting
    If you’re running into any issues while exporting or importing your notebooks, try the suggestions below.

    My notebook download doesn’t seem to finish

    Over time, notebooks can significantly increase in size, especially if you use OneNote to collect embedded
    documents, image scans, PDFs, or video and audio clips as part of your notes. Before attempting to
    download large notebooks, make sure you have several gigabytes (GB) of available space on your computer’s
    hard drive. If a download is interrupted because you ran out of storage, you’ll need to restart the download
    again after you’ve recovered enough hard drive space.

    My download contains only an “errors.txt” file, but no notebook folder

    Whenever a notebook is downloaded successfully, it is saved as a Zip file that contains a folder with the
    same name as the notebook. In rare cases, it’s possible that a downloaded Zip file doesn’t contain any
    notebook folders but only shows a file called errors.txt. When this happens, something went wrong during
    the export process. To troubleshoot this issue, open the errors.txt file from the downloaded Zip file in a text
    editor and read its contents for more specific information.

    OneNote doesn’t recognize the notebook I’m trying to import

    If OneNote rejects a notebook file that you’re trying to import, it’s likely that you’re trying to upload the
    original Zip file that was created when you previously downloaded the notebook. To solve this issue, double-
    click to open the original Zip file, and then extract (copy) the notebook folder from the Zip file to any location
    on your hard drive (for example, the desktop). When the notebook folder has been successfully saved
    outside of its Zip file, you can import the folder into OneNote.

    I got an error message saying I don’t have enough space to import my notebook to OneDrive

    If your OneDrive account is 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.

    I got an error message saying my notebook is too large to export

    Please move portions of your notebook into separate, smaller notebooks and then try exporting these
    smaller notebooks instead.
