Backup and Export Process for Microsoft OneNote (Windows)

Introduction

The article provides steps for you to backup or import OneNote in the desired format using a Windows device. You will be able to export OneNote as .one, .doc, .docx, .pdf, .xps, .mht. We recommend you save OneNote as .mht format as it opens on the browser and is easier to convert to another format. The process works only through the OneNote Desktop applicaiton on Windows only. If you have a macOS or other Apple device, you will need to complete this process on a Windows device.

Prerequisites

  • Windows device
  • OneNote desktop application installed on the Windows device
