What issue do you have?
Hello everyone,
I am trying to migrate my notes (many notes in different notebooks and (sub-) sections) from OneNote to Joplin. I have been very impressed by the accuracy of the OneNote ZIP importer (it displays my handwritten notes pretty much exactly like they look in OneNote itself), but noticed a major problem: Some sections and quite a noticeable number of notes are simply ignored by the importer and don't show up in Joplin.
I tried to circumvent the problem by a) moving the sections / notes to a new notebook and b) by renaming the notes in question, but neither way worked. They are still ignored when importing the (new) export ZIP file.
The problem occurred both with a smaller (ca 200 notes) and with a larger (1,8gb of notes + attachments) notebook; I was not able to see why the notes/sections that were affected were ignored. They looked pretty much like the ones that were imported flawlessly (typed text, handwritten text, sometimes files / images embedded).
Can anybody provide me with a solution or an idea of how to narrow down the error? Going through hundreds of notes manually and checking if they were or were not imported seems like a very tedious task...
Yes, gladly. The following file is an export of a notebook titled "Material". It includes two sections, "Material Deutsch" and "Material Englisch" (I am a teacher for German and English) with each containing a number of notes.
The section "Material English" and all the notes within it are not imported, the section "Material Deutsch" is imported completely.
Great! Thank you!
BTW, the same problem also occurred with another notebook (that I can't share because of personal data inside), so it's not just that one notebook. But maybe finding what causes the problem here will also fix it for the other notebook.
Thanks brajaq, might give it a try (when I get my hands on a Windows machine and have all notebooks synced). That one apparently has the downside of not importing handwriting, if I understand the project website at github correctly.
I am having the same issue importing notes from OneNote. It looked like the import was working flawlessly, but I ended up with several notebook sections missing after the import. At first I thought it was just the large sections, since all of the sections larger than about 100MB were missing. However, I also had some smaller sections (10MB-20MB) that were missing as well. I don't see any way to view an import log to see where the problem(s) occurred, so I'm kind of stuck at this point.
I think we're just waiting for an updated version of Joplin, as the bug seemingly has been fixed. I'd love to get an ETA on the release of the new version, but I don't know if Laurent has one
Hi, I have started imported OneNote's Notebook using Joplin menu option "Importer / ZIP OneNote's Notebook" without issue, the only problem was imported the notes as HTML instead of MD. Am I missing something?
I suppose that is normal, in order to support formatting the OneNote notes (position of handwriting, images etc). I don't think that would work in md notes.
Hi guys, just downloaded the Update to 3.2.13 and gave the OneNote Importer another try (this time with my "real" notebook of ca 1.9 GB size) and again several sections from OneNote are missing. So apparently the original problem still exists.
I had this same problem. I had 16 Sections in OneNote, and one was very large with lots of pasted text from LinkedIn. Of course that was the Section that refused to import I tried this on MacOS and Windows 11 (v3.2.13) with no luck.
I got around this by using the OneNote App on Windows, Creating a new Notebook, copying the section into that new Notebook, then exporting the new notebook zip from the Windows app, and imported on my Mac. That brought over the missing Section
No. I eventually gave up on Joplin and deleted the app. One of my main uses is to copy/paste from job posts (html) into a note, and the formatting became so shredded to be unreadable. I am stuck with OneNote for now I guess (at Microsofts mercy )
If you want to copy and paste formatted text, including tables, etc. it's better to switch to the Rich Text editor - that will preserve most information from the job post. You can toggle between the Rich Text Editor and Markdown Editor by clicking on that button in the top right corner:
