Students: export a copy of your work from OneNote, Class Notebook, Teams, and OneDrive

Save a copy of your school notes to your OneNote notebook

If you are a student using a Microsoft 365 account, your work in OneNote is stored in OneDrive. This enables you to save a personal copy of your notes and reference them in the future.

   Important: If your account ends in @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, or @live.com, you automatically have a personal Microsoft account.

2. Sign into OneNote with both your school and personal accounts. 

   Note: Learn how you can sign into multiple accounts on OneNote here.
