How to Rename a Notebook in Microsoft OneNote

Microsoft OneNote allows the user to have full agency in the usage and customization of the data presented in Microsoft OneNote. But Microsoft OneNote’s web and desktop versions have a roundabout way of letting the user rename their notebook as it requires the user to go through Microsoft OneDrive and rename it there.

• Step 1: Open Microsoft OneDrive in the Web Browser

  

  The user must first open their web browser and open Microsoft OneDrive with the email containing the notebook. Ensure that the notebook synced in the user’s OneDrive is up to date as this can cause future problems.

• Step 2: Locating the Notebook

  

  After the user has ensured that their notebook is up to date and has opened their Microsoft OneDrive, they must locate the folder where the notebook is stored at. By default, Microsoft OneNote stores the notebook in the user’s documents folder. If it has been changed, check your OneNote preferences to locate the folder.

• Step 3: Opening the Rename Window

  

  You can access the rename window by right-clicking the notebook that you want to rename. Please be careful when right-clicking the notebook as one of the prompts can delete the notebook and send it to the user’s recycling bin.

• Step 4: Renaming the Notebook

  

  When the user clicks the rename option, a window will appear with the name of the notebook. Here the user can add, edit, and delete any part of the name or title of the notebook. After inputting the user’s desired changes, click the “Rename” button on the window to lock in the changes.
