UWP version of OneNote notes, is there any solution that can be edited after exporting notes?
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 14:58:32
Can't you use Office OneNote?
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 14:59:38
After Office OneNote opens the notebook, you can edit it

Now it's like this, I'm not very familiar with the operation of OneNote, I have only used the UWP version of OneNote on Windows 10 on Surface before, and now there are several notes with hand-drawn pictures in it that need to be exported. Currently only OneNote for Office 2019 and OneNote for Windows 10 are available on my Surface, what software or plugins should I prepare to edit these notes? The UWP version has only a few db in the local file directory, and there is no common .one file.
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 15:06:05
In Office 2019 OneNote, open your notebook in the File -> Open. It will synchronize.

Then the 2 OneNote can edit a page at the same time.

OneNote for Windows 10 is the version that doesn't save local files.
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 15:16:34
OneNote for Windows 10 doesn't save notes locally, they are saved on onedrive.com.
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 15:17:02
Local is the cache, not the actual save location.
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 15:18:03
If you don't sync your notes to onedrive.com, you uninstall OneNote for Windows 10 and all your notes are lost. There is no way to get it back.

Right, but now it's out of service, and after it stopped I used it for a few more days (because it's not clear to me that it's out of service) until yesterday I found that my notes kept showing sync failure
User: 2025-11-16 15:19:03
Is there any remedy now?
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 15:20:51
How can you tell it's not syncing?
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 15:21:15
Either you use your phone OneNote to see if you can see the latest content.
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 15:21:58
I use it every day, but I don't see any out-of-sync.

After I clicked sync, the latest notes didn't show up on the newly synced OneNote on another computer, and the new content was not synced when viewed on OneDrive
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 15:27:27
That is, it cannot be synchronized. But on my side OneNote for Windows 10 is normal. It's just that the synchronization starts to slow down.

Ah I'll check the version
User: 2025-11-16 15:28:17
Maybe the version is different

Ok thanks

User: 2025-11-16 15:33:59
Well, I happened to not be using this device at that time
OneNote Gem: 2025-11-16 15:34:00
Maybe your version is too old, so it hasn't been emptied.

In your case, it's best not to force syncing. Forced syncing may result in the loss of unsynced notes.
