Use page locking in class notebook

Prevent students from making further edits to a page in your Class Notebook while you're reviewing it, after the due date has passed, or at any time. While a student page is locked, you can view and make comments, but the student will only be able to view the page.

Before you get started, you must be teaching with one of the following versions of OneNote:

• OneNote 2016 with the February 2018 or later update of the Class Notebook Add-in

• OneNote for Windows 10 app - See instructions below.

• OneNote for the web

• OneNote for iPad - See OneNote for iOS instructions below.

Your students must be using one of the following versions of OneNote for this feature to work on their pages. Please have them check the version they're using with the instructions below:
