Classnotebook is not Classnotebook created in Teams
I created a Classnotebook from https://www.onenote.com/classnotebook. I added my students via the previously from SDS created group Info10. I could reach this class notebook and manage it. Then I went to Microsoft Teams. I saw my group Info10 in the teams list. I opened the group and hoped to see my previously generated Classenotebook for this group. Instead I was forced to generate a new Classnotebook when I clicked on the tab "Kursnotizbuch (in German)". Now I am really confused. Can anybody give me an hint, how I should right work with Classnotebooks. What is best practise?
I see, that is unfortunate.
You could always read the https://educationblog.microsoft.com/2018/10/class-notebook-in-microsoft-teams-create-and-connect-all-in-one-space/ or the https://support.office.com/en-us/article/use-onenote-class-notebook-in-teams-bd77f11f-27cd-4d41-bfbd-2b11799f1440.
I also have a blog with loads of stuff on Teams for Education called Https://Teams.rocks, feel free to check it out.

- If I create classnotebook via the admin panel I can add the group, in my case info10, and all members where added with the special sections. I miss a comparison of this two possibilities to create a classnotebook with clear statements about advantages and disadvantages of both methods. One difference I found myself ist that creating the Classnotebook outside MS Teams it will be created in my personal Onedrive folder. If you create it in Teams it will be stored in the onedrive-Teams folder.
You asked for best practice and that is to provision the class notebook from within Teams.
Adding an existing class notebook to Teams for Education is not supported, you could add a website and point to OneNote Online,but it wouldn't give you that same integrated experience.Is there a particular reason why you prefer to create the class notebook outside of Teams?
Hardy Krausemaybe someone else will add to this conversation. As I see it, Ms Teams is the "glue" that holds everything together. Therefore that is my starting point. I then use the other apps that integrate with Ms Teams.
The OneNote notebook that is created from Ms Teams can be managed with ClassNotebook tools AFAIK.
