Steps to Import:

1. Extract the Zip File into a directory on your hard disk (Windows or Mac).
2. In any modern Web browser, go to the OneNote Notebook Importer.
   Note: Importing notebooks is not supported in Windows Internet Explorer. We recommend using Edge or Chrome for Windows and Mac.
3. On the screen that opens, click Import.
4. On your computer, navigate to the location of your notebook folder (see Step 1), click to select it, and then click Open to import it.

Note: Exporting and importing notebooks through OneNote for the web works only for notebooks stored on Personal OneDrive accounts. Later on you can move the notebook or sections between accounts (see here how).

Sign up for a free personal OneDrive account as shown here. Then use this account to import each notebook into your personal account using the online importer.

If the import process begins but then appears not to finish:

• You are not signed into a Personal OneDrive account – see above.
• or your OneDrive account might be low on available space. Manually delete any unnecessary files from your OneDrive storage (including any failed notebook uploads) and then try importing the notebook folder again.
