Notes: 

  • These instructions are for the older SharePoint Store app called the OneNote Staff Notebook. Microsoft has a newer version of the application that is now part of Microsoft 365 and shows up in My Apps. To find this, open the Microsoft 365 app launcher and click my apps. Then look for the Staff Notebook icon. We encourage you to use the Staff Notebook app that is part of Microsoft 365. When we add new features, they'll be added to only the new Staff Notebook app. Microsoft will not be adding new features to the old SharePoint Store app.

  • The Office home page

  • Microsoft will continue to support the SharePoint Store app, in addition to making bug fixes when necessary. If your school uses Team Sites with the SharePoint Store app, you can continue using it as you have been in the past.

  • If your school needs to install the older OneNote Staff Notebook SharePoint Store app for use in Team Sites, please contact Microsoft Support for OneNote and they will be able to provide you with the specific instructions to install the SharePoint Store app.

The OneNote Staff Notebook is an App for OneDrive for Business that helps Staff leader set up a single OneNote for their staff members. This app creates a Staff notebook, which includes three types of sub-notebooks:

  • Collaboration Space – A notebook for all staff members and the staff leader in the group to share, organize, and collaborate.

  • Content Library – A notebook for a staff leader to share course materials with staff members. A staff leader can add and edit its materials, but for staff members, the notebook is read-only.

  • Staff Member Notebooks – Private notebooks that are shared between each staff leader and their individual staff members. Staff leader can access these notebooks at any time, but staff members cannot see other staff members’ notebooks.

Download the OneNote Staff Notebook from the Office App Store.
