Best Practice for archiving OneNote notebooks in SharePoint Online
Missed this announcement last week: https://blogs.office.com/2016/07/13/take-your-onenote-class-notebooks-wherever-you-go-with-the-new-save-a-copy-feature/. Guess I'll need to be patient until it goes through testing in Education and then wide release for all O365. Thanks everyone for your suggestions and insight.
Hi Scott - I recently responded to a legal request to export a users OD4B site that contained a OneNote Notebook. I used Sharegate to export to the filesystem and the OneNote sections were copied to the file system, the result was a folder with a bunch of .one files. I was able to click the .one files and open them in OneNote. Because the content was readable this as satisfactory for the request we were fulfilling. This may also be satisfactory for your records retention requirements. - Greg
