Frequently asked questions

Can I open a .one file without OneNote installed?

Not in this version. Typed text, formatting, images and tables render; pages with ink say so clearly instead.

What about attachments inside a note?

Listed by name but not extracted.

Can a page I deleted in OneNote still show up?

Sometimes, yes, because OneNote can leave deleted pages inside the underlying file.

No.
