Teacher only space
Some good news! The ability to enable the Teacher-Only section group and to lock the Collaboration space for notebooks created with Teams is now available from the Office 365 tiles> ClassNotebook> ManageNotebooks
Previously, notebooks created with Teams did not appear in the list. Now they do, with the message "This notebook was created in Microsoft Teams..." . I've tested it and it works. See below:
Agreed- very annoying. Workarounds are all very well for those of us who can find them, but teachers don't want work arounds- we want things that work properly, and much of what we are using doesn't, I'm sorry to say (and that includes ordinary class notebooks, outside of Teams). I don't mean to be negative here, as the whole Class Notebook architecture is a wonder of software engineering, but the fact remains that the amount of teaching time taken up with glitches (be they sync issues or confusion between apps etc) is worrying. The list of things that teachers and students must and mustn't do (to avoid problems) grows by the day. It is clear that training for teachers and students in the effective use of classnotebooks alone, never mind Teams/Groups is vital early on. As I've said before, If Teams isn't fully ready to go before the end of term 3, it will be too late for 2018.

- Updates look good, looking forward to testing them out!
yup.
That's good.
- Now we're talking!
- You can also now see all of the class notebook in Teams too i.e. Section Groups and Sections https://twitter.com/ALovett75/status/899612172980027392
Am I the first one seeing this? I thought everyone would be jumping up and down with jubilation! The long awaited feature of mananging Class Notebooks in Teams has arrived!
New Feature
- Hi Luke
Like Philemon, I can see my test teams with the same message. Looking forward to seeing this finished. Managing OneNote Class Notebook in Teams - coming soon!

I see what you mean. Hmm... strange. ClassNotebook>ManageNotebooks now doesn't show me the Teams created notebooks whereas previously it did. However, there is another page which does show the Teams created notebooks, but it does not allow you to add the Teacher's Only Section or lock the collaboration space.
My guess is that the OneNote developers are currently making some changes - that is why things are in flux. Mike Tholfsen (Product Manager on the https://twitter.com/hashtag/MicrosoftEDU?src=hashMicrosoftEDUteam, building https://twitter.com/hashtag/OneNote?src=hashOneNote, Class Notebooks, Learning Tools & https://twitter.com/hashtag/MicrosoftTeams?src=hashMicrosoftTeams) said that the OneNote Class Notebook settings for Teams are coming out next week - so I suppose we just have to be patient!
I can see mine.
It has a message "This notebook was created in Microsoft Teams and does not currently support all editing features."
I still seem to be having trouble seeing my Teams-created notebooks under ClassNotebook>ManageNotebooks. Any insight into why this might be or how I could remedy this?
- Great spot, I'll be checking this out! Unfortunately too late for my old job.
