Has anyone had difficulty finding where Office Lens is sending scanned documents in OneNote?

I installed Office Lens and when I scan and send a doc to OneNote, it is sending it to a notebook and section that I cannot locate on my OneNote. Is there a way to change the default location in Off...

There is a way to change the default location. After you take a picture and click the checkmark indicating you want the picture saved, you are taken to a Title / Save To screen, with checkboxes for what apps you want to save the picture. If you tap the word OneNote, it will then prompt you for the OneNote section into which you want to save the picture.

If you lost a picture, OneNote defaults the title to the date, as in: 2018_09_30 <time> Office Lens. You can search all of your notebooks using the date as typed above, and it will find your picture.

JayFMSTechCommHi Steven,

Office Support led me to this post because I have a similar issue on Office Lens for Android - I am unable to choose the correct OneNote Notebook to save files from Office Lens.

Tapping the word OneNote simply checks and unchecks the box for me, it does not give me the option to choose a notebook, so it always saves to the incorrect one.
