OneNote: Edit default view in the tab so you can see all of the pages within a section

The default view for OneNote notebook is set to "Hide All" so it only shows you the first section of the page. If you want to view the pages within a section, you have to click on View > Navigation Options > Show Only Pages. As soon as you click off of that tab the view defaults back to Hide All. It would be great if Team Owners could choose the default view.

    Agree with everyone else here. For OneNote in Teams, please make the default Navigation Panes view be user configurable, and make the default "Show Sections and Pages." I have users that may not open OneNote for weeks at a time, and they forget how to open the sections and pages view, or that it even exists. All of our "How to" documentation is in OneNote and I'm trying to get my user's accustomed to using that documentation for help on procedures. It's sad that they need a sticky-note on their monitors to help them find the help documentation. And, to be frank, it's annoying to have to re-open the sections and pages panel every time I, or anyone else, opens a notebook in Teams. Thanks!

    Please allow users to set their preferred default view. This is so not user friendly

    Same question as the others, it would help a lot if it worked: I trust in you guys :-)

    This is a usability disaster and significantly reduces the effectiveness of OneNote in teams.

    PLEASE FIX! Love Teams, but small things like this make it less appealing!

  • Ben Merryman commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please fix this. We link to a Knowledge Base on OneNote that isn't very useful if it looks like there is only one article there when people access it for guidance. Allow views to be saved as defaults!

    Please fix this ! Would be way more efficient to access the tabs at the openning of the app, or inside TEAMS !!
    IT's gotta be easy to fix

    Please fix this so that you can actually use OneNote effectively in Teams without opening in the app or the browser. I have to explain to new team members about clicking the arrow to view the other pages or changing their view. Does anyone actually use this with just one page? Set the default view to show sections and pages if you aren't going to let us save a default setting.

    Please fix this. So not user friendly, especially when users do't know that they can open the navigation panel to show sections and pages.

    Incredibly frustrating, especially as you seem to be able to choose either a page or a section to link to as you set up the ON tab - Teams seems to completely ignore what you choose so why present the choice in the first place.

    I don't recognize the behaviour described here by others though. To me it seems that OneNote shows me the most recent page I was last on when I revisit the ON tab - which, as someone put it, turns ON to a useless, single page note for an entire channel in Teams. Navigation pane by default is a must, and if you choose to link to a single page instead, that link has to be permanent so the tab points there every time!

    why not just make the view in OneNote Teams the same as in the app? I can't collapse the meeting participants and invitation message when using OneNote in Teams like I can in the app display. Simplify this by using the same view and options in Teams

  • Bill Merton commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes! If it is, indeed, true that there is no way for me to have OneNote open so that it is showing the available sections and pages instead of opening to the first page I ever put in my OneNote document, add my vote!

    This really needs to be an option. We use OneNote for immediate overview, why do we need to click a button first?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is an obvious gap in the product and means the OneNote integration loses value as it always returns to a default view that the user cannot customize
