Rename a notebook

To help prevent broken links by accidentally renaming notebooks that are shared with other people, you’ll need to first go to the notebook location on OneDrive.

Caution:  Before renaming notebooks that you have already shared with other people, consider giving the other notebook authors some amount of advance notice about your plans to rename the notebook they’re working in. This way, the change does not unexpectedly prevent them from accessing important information in the shared notebook.

When you’re ready to rename a notebook, do the following:

1. First, you need to close the notebook. In OneNote, tap the Show Notebooks button to open to the notebook list.

2. Tap and hold the notebook you want to rename. At the bottom of the notebook list, tap the Close Notebook icon, and then choose Close.

3. Go to OneDrive to complete the renaming of the notebook. In Safari or in any other Web browser, go to www.onedrive.com.

   If necessary, sign in with the same Microsoft account or organizational account where the notebook you want to rename is currently stored.

4. When you are successfully signed into OneDrive, navigate to the Documents folder for your account.

   Note: You might need to navigate to a different folder if the notebook was initially saved to a folder other than Documents.

5. Tap and hold the notebook you want to rename.

   You'll see a small check mark next to the notebook. If the check mark doesn't appear, you may need to need to tap and hold a little longer.

6. On the OneDrive menu bar, tap the three dots icon located in the upper right, and then choose Rename This File.

7. Type the new name for the notebook, and then tap Done.

8. On the same page, tap the notebook icon to open the renamed notebook in OneNote.
