Connect OneNote

Outcome: ReMarkSync will have permission to write your selected notes to a OneNote notebook you choose.

Which Microsoft account can I use?

Any Microsoft account that can open OneNote works as the destination:

• Personal accounts such as outlook.com, hotmail.com, or live.com.
• Work or school accounts from Microsoft 365, supported since ReMarkSync v0.3.0.

The destination account is fully independent from your ReMarkSync account. The two emails do not need to match, and you can switch to a different Microsoft account later without losing your trial or subscription.

Before you begin

• Finish Detect your notes.
• Use a Microsoft account that can open OneNote.
• If your organization manages the account, be prepared for its normal approval or sign-in requirements.

Sign in and choose a destination

Microsoft handles the secure sign-in in your browser, and ReMarkSync does not receive your password. ReMarkSync creates a reMarkable section group inside the notebook you select. Example using sample data.Open full size

1. At Sign in to Microsoft, select Sign in with Microsoft.

2. Complete Microsoft sign-in in the secure browser window.

3. Return to ReMarkSync.

5. At Choose destination, select Load to retrieve your OneNote notebooks.

6. Open the Notebook list and choose the notebook that should receive your reMarkable notes.

7. Select Save & continue.

Your notes stay private

Microsoft uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for sign-in. ReMarkSync never asks for or stores your Microsoft password.

Expected result

Setup moves to Choose what syncs. The selected OneNote notebook will contain a reMarkable section group after the first successful sync.

If your screen looks different

Microsoft may ask for multi-factor authentication, organization approval, or account selection. Those screens belong to Microsoft. Complete only the sign-in steps you normally expect for that account.

Work or school accounts are supported. If a notebook later needs extra organization permission, ReMarkSync keeps your pages safe and offers Allow OneNote access. See OneNote access problems for every access message.

Troubleshooting

No OneNote notebooks were found

Open OneNote with the same Microsoft account and create or open a notebook. Return to ReMarkSync and select Load again.

Microsoft permission is required

Complete the secure Microsoft window. ReMarkSync keeps queued pages safe while it waits. Work or school accounts may require an administrator to approve the requested OneNote access. See OneNote access problems.
