Switch the OneNote notebook

Outcome: New syncs will land in a different OneNote notebook. Existing pages in the old notebook stay put.

If ReMarkSync says OneNote can’t use this notebook, switching to a notebook in your own OneDrive fixes it. See OneNote access problems.

  4. If pages need to be sent again, ReMarkSync asks first, for example: “Switching sends 4 pages again to the new notebook. Large switches can take longer because of hourly request limits. Pages already in your current notebook stay as they are.” Select OK to switch, or Cancel to keep the current notebook.

    The ReMarkSync confirmation: Switching sends 4 pages again to the new notebook. Large switches can take longer because of hourly request limits. Pages already in your current notebook stay as they are. Buttons OK and Cancel.

  5. Open Dashboard and wait for the next sync, or select Sync now.

ReMarkSync rebuilds your selected reMarkable pages in the new notebook. It does not delete pages from the previous notebook, so you can tidy that yourself in OneNote after you confirm the new one is complete.

The current notebook name appears above the list when it differs from your new choice. Organization-managed accounts may still need OneNote permission for the new notebook.
