What issue do you have?

I'm attempting to import a OneNote, but I only see the option for a single .one file at a time (I have many). The docs say that there should be a ZIP option in File ->Import, but I don't see it. I've tried 3.6.x versions and 3.7.9 to no avail. Is there an additional permission or toggle somewhere I should be looking?

@evanmaxwell welcome to the forum.

It appears that even though the import option is ONE - OneNote Notebook the import dialog will accept Zip files.

This is Windows and Linux will "see" a Zip file as well although unlike Windows it does not make it clear what file extensions it will accept. Couldn't try importing a zip file as I do not have one to import!!

That did the trick!

For anyone finding this later, don't compress the folder when using a Mac - it will bundle hidden directories underneath (_MACOS) and fail. A workaround is to select the .one files within the directory, and compress them as a selection.
