OneNote is a powerful tool for use with classes - but there are three main variants that you need to be aware of.


1. OneNote created in your Onedrive - this can be shared

2. OneNote ClassNotebook in your Onedrive - Never Share (this can break permissions for students)

3. Onenote ClassNotebook in Teams - Never Share (this can break permissions)


OneNote ClassNotebook in Teams - recommended


- Manage access to the notebook by Team membership (if a student is in the Team, they have access to the notebook and their own sections)

- Turn off  access to the Collaboration in the team (you can turn this off (do not delete the collaboration space)

- Do not delete student sections unless you definitely know the student is not coming back - re-adding a student may not re-create sections and permissions
