Hello,
Does anyone have a clear resource to share that would explain where files are stored if you use the OneNote desktop version, the Office 365 web version and the Team Class Notebook?
This seems to be a source of confusion for faculty and staff because you can access notebooks in various locations OneDrive, SharePoint, Class Notebook app, OneNote app, etc. but I want to clearly understand where the files are stored, not shortcuts to the files.
Simply stated, is this accurate?
Thank you for your helping in clarifying this for me!

The OneNote for Windows 10 app, by default, saves to OneDrive and does not work in the same way as OneNote 2016. The files are not visible in OneDrive and don't need to be backed up as they're already backed up in the cloud (i.e. OneDrive). If you delete a page or a section using OneNote for Windows 10 it will remove it from OneDrive so housekeeping in the app will replicated in the storage on OneDrive.
If you also have OneNote 2016 then you can create multiple backups to wherever you want. Sadly Microsoft started with OneNote (now OneNote 2016) as an installable program, stored on and backed up to your PC. Then the cloud came along and they came up with OneNote for Windows to confuse things. The former is much richer in functionality but isn't quite as modern as the Windows10 version.
However, whichever OneNote you're using you shouldn't think of it as a tool like Word or Excel. You've probably noticed there's no "save" button in OneNote. That's because it just saves whatever you're doing constantly and you don't need to name files etc. for the same reason. The concept for Word therefore isn't relevant to OneNote. Its simply a notebook. You keep adding notes, there's no need to manage files as such, its a digital canvas and therefore there's no clutter!

Hi, I am actually wanting to relocate my one note to a different storage area as my one drive is nearly full. Do you know how I might do this?
TIA
