How to migrate OneNote.one from existing teant to another tenant?
I have attached step on how to do this migration that worked for me. Good luck!
Here is my final Draft for these steps. These steps are so you don't as a sys admin have don't have to move 20 sections out of one Notebook into a whole new one when a user has 20 notebooks with 30 sections for each notebook. These steps are to move a full Notebook with all sections intact from one One Drive location to another One Drive location in Office 365. I was able to move 30 notebooks within less than 15 -20 min. Where recreating them would have taken hours. Hope this helps someone else. Thanks Steven Collier for you input.
Up to this point the scenario is different that your, but just as you noted in your experience, this notebook was displayed online in OD4B as a separate table of contents file with a separate files for each section. I opened the table of contents file online and it was a little slow opening up each of the sections, but it did. I didn't document my exact next steps, but I had given up on combining the files into one view online (I know online that it is still actually a folder with multiple files contained within but to the end user, it looks like a single file online and also if "synced" back to the desktop as a special shortcut).
What happened at some point in the next hour or less is what might interest you. I logged back on to OD4B online and the notebook "Folder" containing the separate files had "Converted" itself to a single OneDrive file. I'm not sure if it was a process that occured automatically or if it was because i opened the TOC and sections online or if it had to do with opening the notebook in my desktop OneNote 2016, but something flipped a switch in the online few and made it display just as you are wishing.
You might test a little bit more with your migrated notebooks and see if you can determine if the same will occur for you users' notebooks.
Thank You for your response. I was in a hurry Friday so after I read what I posted I thought it might not not of explained myself clearly. I am going to try your potential solution because if it works we can create a document for each end user to follow. I am gong to edit my original post to make it flow better and more readable. I will let you know if what you did works for me in my testing. Thanks again for the response!
