How to view and edit history in Microsoft OneNote?

Once you start using Microsoft OneNote and get used to these useful features, you can start sharing notebooks. This is a great way to advance team projects and tasks.

However, like any other project you share, you may want to see any changes, including who made it and when.

Moreover, OneNote offers a useful feature to help you and your team keep up. You can view edits made to a notebook by timeframe.

View Edit History in OneNote

This feature is currently available in the OneNote desktop application but doesn’t include OneNote for Windows.

1. Open OneNote and select the notebook you want to view.
2. Go to the History tab (only visible on supported versions of OneNote).
3. Click Recent Edits in the ribbon. In the drop-down list that appears, choose the timeframe. You can pick from options like today, since yesterday, or the last several days or months.
4. You’ll then see all changes made within your timeframe of choice highlighted. This includes both pages and content.
5. At the top, use the drop-down box to choose where to look for changes. You can pick a section, section group, the current notebook, or all notebooks. Next, you can sort the change results by section, title, date modified, or author.
