Demo: Awesome OneNote 2010 And OneNote Web Apps Sync
Microsoft announced the full release of Office Web Apps recently which meant OneNote went live. I wanted to try out the sync between OneNote. Well, I did and I’m pleasantly surprised at how smooth it. Here’s a demo video of the sync:
This can be enabled on a per-notebook basis and to do this:
- Head into backstage (click File)
- Under ‘Info’ choose the Notebook you want share, click on the icon and select Share. Screenshot:
- Choose the Web for Share On and choose the rest of the options as per your requirement.
- Press Select Notebook at the bottom. Screenshot:
And that’s it. You should now I see your OneNote notebook in the folder you specified.
The drawbacks that I came across are:
- Won’t sync inserted audio/video. Understandable for first release.
- Won’t sync text highlights or drawings (it does sync inserted picture files)
This looks quite exciting. My only problem for now is that I can’t sync the cloud and desktop to my mobile. I tried but didn’t work and from what I know, this should work seamlessly on Office 2010 on WP7.
Awesome, indeed! Glad you’re enjoying the new OneNote Web App. We’re really thrilled to be able to share this new experience with our users. If you have feedback that you’d like to share with the OneNote community, feel free to do so at the OneNote page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/MicrosoftOneNote.

I just tried to setup a shared onenote with skydrive, I find it extremely slow. The sync icon stays there forever without any progress. Is there a way to troubleshoot?
The sync icon on OneNote? If it keeps syncing there’s something wrong, probably looking at the logs you might know why the lag. The sync should happen in less than a minute. It works like a charm across my phone, desktop and web.
