Any way to create OneNote "templates"? Or, open a .onepkg file in OneNote for Mac?
A few of our academic departments are looking to replace an eportfolio application that's reaching end-of-life in July and it seems like OneNote does a LOT of what they want. The only issue is that f...
Hi,
Yes, sure it's possible using Onenote classroom, where you can distribute sections and pages

- Thanks. I was kind of hoping to do it without creating a Class Notebook. The idea is for each student to have and manage their own, independent notebook/portfolio (these are doctoral or masters-level students). I've worked with Class Notebooks enough to know that they can be a pain. However, maybe things have changed. For example, is it possible for students to export just their section to PDF (or some other format)? Also, I know it's possible to create sections when setting up a Class Notebook, but I've not found a way to populate those sections with pages (in other words, it just creates the sections as blank "placeholders").
Two more things:
- You might want to have a look at
Distribute pages and sections to Class Notebooks
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/distribute-pages-and-sections-to-class-notebooks-96b256dc-8bac-4443-9e9c-4e408c8ada68- No Mac here, but on my Win machine I can export pages and sections as .one files. If you do so and double-clik on them, what happens on a Mac?
Kind regards

- Thanks. This is useful information, and it seems like what our faculty are looking for can be done piecemeal, but I'm not sure they're going to like that approach. If every student had a Windows PC (or the .onepkg file created when exporting from OneNote 2016 could be opened/used in the web and/or Mac versions), then this wouldn't be an issue. It's just frustrating because every other Office app allows you to create templates that are at least somewhat functional/usable across platforms.
HiChad Kealey ,
You can sure distribute pages to sections in Class notebooks.
And yes, students can create PDFs. But the can also copy pages / sections into private notebooks they own.
Kind regards
