Rename a page

   • On the menu bar, click Notebooks, point to Pages, and then click Rename Page.

   • Control-click the tab of the page you want to rename, and then click Rename on the menu that appears.

Rename a notebook

To help prevent broken links by accidentally renaming notebooks that are shared with other people, you'll need to rename the notebook file at its source.

Caution: Don't rename Class and Staff Notebooks in OneDrive, including Class and Staff Notebooks created through Microsoft Teams. This will disrupt student access and proper functioning of these notebooks.

Caution: Before renaming notebooks that you have already shared with other people, consider giving the other notebook authors some amount of advance notice about your plans to rename the notebook they're working in. This way, the change does not unexpectedly prevent them from accessing important information in the shared notebook.

When you're ready to rename a notebook, do the following:

1. First, you need to close the notebook. On the menu bar in OneNote, click Notebooks, point to Notebooks, and then click Close This Notebook.

2. In Safari or in any other Web browser, go to www.onedrive.com. If necessary, sign in with the same Microsoft account or organizational account where the notebook you want to delete is currently stored.

3. When you are successfully signed into OneDrive, navigate to the Documents folder for your account.

   Note: You might need to navigate to a different folder if the notebook was initially saved to a folder other than Documents.

4. Move the mouse pointer over the notebook you want to rename, and then click to select the small circle that appears next to or in the upper right corner of the notebook icon.

   You'll see a small check mark in the circle next to the notebook.

   Click Rename on the OneDrive menu bar.

5. When the notebook name is selected, type the new name for the notebook, and then press Return.

6. On the same page, click the notebook icon to open the renamed notebook in OneNote for the web.

7. In OneNote for the web, click the Open in OneNote button near the top of the page to open the renamed notebook in OneNote for Mac.
