Fixing OneNote MissPlaced Sections

Hi, I have encountered several instances if of Microsoft Teams Class Notebook placing pages into miss placed sections. I understand these are caused usually due to synchronisation problems. However how do I resolve them?

  • Take this:

     

    1. Locate the Misplaced Sections
    • In OneNote, scroll to the bottom of your notebook list.
    • Click on “Misplaced Sections”
    1. Manually Move the Pages
    • Right-click the tab of the misplaced section.
    • Select “Move or Copy”.
    • Choose the correct notebook and section where the page should go.
    1. Force a Manual Sync
    • Press Shift + F9 to trigger a manual sync.
    • This can help OneNote re-attempt syncing and sometimes resolve the issue automatically.
    1. Check Section Names
    • Make sure the section name in your notebook exactly matches the one in the student notebooks.
    1. Use the Web Version for Distribution
    • When distributing pages, try using the OneNote Class Notebook web interface.
    1. Restart and Reconnect
    • Restart OneNote and Microsoft Teams.
    • Log out and back in to refresh your credentials and sync status.
    1. Check for Backups

    Go to File > Info > Open Backups to recover older versions of your notes if needed.
