How to Restore Deleted Pages in Microsoft OneNote

There is no need to be afraid of losing pages and notebooks that were accidentally deleted. In Microsoft OneNote, one can easily recover those deleted pages and notebooks simply by following the steps below.

• Step 1: Open Microsoft OneNote

  

  Start by opening Microsoft OneNote, either through its standalone program or through Microsoft OneNote’s website. The user should then ensure their account is logged in to the Microsoft Office account with the deleted pages or notes.

• Step 2: Click the View Tab

  

  Move to the toolbar view by clicking the “View” button on the toolbar located in the upper left corner of the window. This will change the buttons in the toolbar, which all have different functions on how to view the current page the user is currently at. Note that only the toolbar’s content should change, not the whole page.

• Step 3: Viewing the Deleted Page or Note

  

  After changing the toolbar view, click the “Deleted Notes” button on the toolbar located at the top right corner of the window. This will allow the user to see all the deleted pages or notes.

  

• Step 4: Choosing The Page or Notebook to Restore

  

  The user then should highlight the page, section, or notebook they want to restore. The highlighted document will have its contents displayed on the right half of the window.

• Step 5: Restoring the Page or Note

  
  After viewing or highlighting the page, or note, the user must right-click the document to show the options that may be done to the highlighted document. By clicking the “Restore” option, the chosen page, section, or notebook will reappear in the last place the document was in. Be careful when choosing your options though for the “Permanently Delete” option will remove all traces of the document from your account and cannot be restored. Afterward, the user can return to their normal navigation by clicking the “Deleted Notes” button under the “View” toolbar.
