Using OneNote for a Training Manual
I've created a CRM training manual in a OneNote Notebook. It's housed in a shared document library in SharePoint. I have mostly screenshots and text, but also a couple of videos.
When others open the Notebook they see the Author information (my name) for each section. I know I can turn this off in my dekstop application, but is there a way for me to turn it off for other viewers?

- Chris GullicksenIron ContributorI would re-publish the content in another type of document to remove the tags that are native and found in OneNote. Test it out and see if you exported a page as a Word Document or PDF if the content / videos would still work the same? This is because the point of sharing a Notebook on SharePoint is so others know who made edits within the notebook. In my opinion published content should be in a formal document rather than in a notebook.

Hi Lesly,
You as the notebook owner can control whether other people are able to view authors' initials in your notebook by removing all author tags from a notebook. You can do this with this Onetastic macro: https://getonetastic.com/macroland&id=CC226105EA694426BAB1223799A3A6F6
Be aware that this is a permanent, destructive change. After you apply this macro, you can no longer see the original authors of the pages.
I hope this helps.
- Kidd WongBrass ContributorAny native path can do it instead of macro?
