At Pleexy, we strive to provide you with a seamless and efficient syncing experience between your task manager and OneNote. However, we would like to inform you about certain limitations when it comes to syncing shared notebooks in OneNote. This article aims to explain why Pleexy cannot sync shared notebooks and provides you with a helpful resource for further information.

Syncing Only Owned Notebooks in OneDrive

To ensure smooth synchronization between Pleexy and OneNote, it is important to note that only the notebooks you own and that are stored in your personal OneDrive account will be synced. This means that any notebooks shared with you by other users cannot be synced using Pleexy.

OneNote API Limitations

The primary reason for Pleexy's inability to sync shared notebooks lies in the limitations of the OneNote API. Unfortunately, OneNote's API does not provide access to all the items that users can see in their OneDrive. As a result, Pleexy cannot retrieve and synchronize the content of shared notebooks.

For a more in-depth understanding of this limitation, we recommend referring to Microsoft's official documentation. The following link provides detailed information on the use of the OneNote API to retrieve notebooks shared with you: Microsoft Learn - OneNote API and Shared Notebooks.

Conclusion

Unfortunately, the OneNote API does not provide access to all the items in shared notebooks, preventing Pleexy from syncing their content. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and recommend directly accessing and managing shared notebooks within your OneNote account or app.
