Switch OneNote section edit and read-only mode

8/8/2013

Gem for OneNote now provide new features to switch section edit mode and read-only mode.

If you want to make a section to read-only, you can click the feature "Section ReadOnly Mode", and you will see the OneNote title change to "…. (Read-Only) - OneNote", the section will be locked, and can't edit.

And click the "Section Edit Mode" will change current OneNote section to edit mode. You can see the OneNote title remove "Read-Only" flag. The section can edit now.

Warning:
This feature just support local sections only. It not work for shared sections.

You say that this feature is for local sections only. Does this include notebooks on a shared server? Or does it just mean that it won't work for notebooks saved in OneDrive?

Yes, it won't work for the notebooks saved in OneDrive.

When I select 'selection read only mode' I get a popup saying 'this feature just support local section' and then nothing happens. If I select 'notebooks read only mode' nothing shows up in the list. Using onenote 2016.

I don't have the paid version I am just trialling this software before buying.

The local notebook is saved in your hard disk. not saved in OneDrive.com. This type notebooks cannot shared by others through OneDrive.com.
