Clicking it revealed a message that says 'You no longer have permission to add or view changes to this notebook with We'll sync again if permissions are restored.' WTF? How do you lose permission to ad or view changes to your own notebooks?

At the top right of OneNote for Windows I saw a label that says 'Saved offline'.

You can try to sync this section again, or copy your notes to another section. (Error code: 0圎0001460 bw90r 40007)' and 'This section might have been deleted from the server. We'll sync again if permissions are restored.

Syncing would not work and resulted in errors like 'You no longer have permission to access this notebook.

This made me nervous, so I went to my desktop to make sure that it was an Android widget issue and I saw that all of my notebooks had tiny triangles with exclamation marks next to them.

After logging out of Android OneNote and back in, it didn't look any better.

But no notebooks showed in OneNote on Android - just a default ''s Notebook'

Later that afternoon (maybe around 3 pm) I opened OneNote on Android to search for some info in one of my notes, just like I've done hundreds, if not thousands, of times before.

At this time I did not notice anything strange, but I wasn't looking for anything either.

I last used OneNote on at about 11:01am when I added a note about a client's Microsoft password change.

It would say 'Problem loading widget' or something similar and I'd just re-add the widget to my home page and assume it was an Android issue

The OneNote widget on my Android phone had been acting up for a couple of days.

Go ahead and read it so that the rest of this post will make sense.įor those of you that did not read it (or see the screenshots in it) the basic facts are as follows: But there is a dark side that I was abruptly introduced to 2 days ago that all OneNote users should be aware of.ĭue to Spiceworks restrictions on the number of images allowed in a post (5), I am including a link to the letter that I sent to a Microsoft support team member here Opens a new window. There is literally nothing on the market that compares to its flexibility and ease of use.

I have been a big fan of OneNote since it first appeared in 2003.
