Section 3 - OneNote Backup
1. Make sure you have the notebook you want to backup selected (you are viewing it) Then click "File"
2. This will open an info Panel. Select "Export", Then Select "Notebook" and under Format choose "OneNote Package (*.onepkg)"
3. If you have not already you will want to reinstall Office365 from your masters.edu address. Some of the steps occasional have login issues when Office is logged in to your mail.masters.edu address. You can reinstall office by logging into your email, and select the "install office" button. The reason for this is to ensure that the license you have is up to date and allow you to upload back to one drive. If you only want to backup your OneNote files and do not wish to upload to one drive, then the remaining steps are optional.
Section 3 - OneNote Restore (Optional)
The following steps only apply to those wanting to add the notes back into OneNote. If you do not wish to use OneDrive and just want to keep a local copy then you only need to follow step 2 through step 4.
1. Press "File" Again to open up the info pane. Select "New", then select "Add a Place", and finally "Office 365 SharePoint". From the window that pops up log in with your @masters.edu account.

4. Once you double-click the notebook the "create notebook" screen pops up. Here you can specify a name for the notebook and choose a path where it will be stored. (If you plan to store the file in OneDrive, The path field is irrelevant)
5. NOTE: If you do not want to upload to one drive then you are DONE.
Press "File" again to bring up your notebook view. You should see the notebook that you just opened up. Click the "Share on Web or Network" Option
6. Clicking this will open up the Share window. You have a number of options here as to where to store it but we will be uploading it to the @masters.edu OneDrive that we added in step 1. Choose the "OneDrive - The Master's University" (the name of this may vary, but you are looking for the OneDrive SharePoint NOT the sites option, Notice this is also different from the OneDrive personal link seen here.) Finally, click "Browse" this will open a new window for you to browse the files in your OneDrive. Save the notebook wherever you wish in that file.
7. You are done! You have successfully stored the notebook into OneDrive. This will now allow you to have this notebook anywhere you are signed in with your @masters.edu account. It will also allow you to edit the notebook online.
