Import with OneNote Desktop

Steps to import/install templates using OneNote Desktop for Windows or Mac:
Versions 2021, 2016, 2013 or 2010

Extract the Zip File into a directory on your hard disk
(preferable into “My Documents > OneNote Notebooks“).
In the extracted directory open “For OneNote Desktop“.

Then either

Double click the only file in the directory – and OneNote will import the template.

Open OneNote Desktop
Use File > Open > This PC > My Documents > OneNote Notebooks to browse for
the “Notebook” file with extension “OnePkg” to open it.

Steps to import using the Online Importer:
Works for all Windows or Mac

Extract the Zip File into a directory on your hard disk (Windows or Mac).
In any modern Web browser, go to the OneNote Notebook Importer.

Note: Importing notebooks is not supported in Windows Internet Explorer. We recommend using Edge or Chrome for Windows and Mac.
On the screen that opens, click Import.
Now go to the extracted directory and open folder “For Online Importer“, then select the notebook folder (eg: KanBan, Calendars etc …) and then click Upload to import it.

The template you need to import into OneNote Desktop is a file with extension “OnePkg” (eg: NotebookName.onepkg).
If you want to share & sync your notebook you need to make sure that it is located on your OneDrive or SharePoint. To move it from your local drive simple use “File > Share” and then follow instructions.

Exporting and importing notebooks through OneNote for the web works only for notebooks stored on Personal OneDrive accounts.

Later on you can move the notebook or sections between accounts (see here how) or use OneNote with multiple accounts (see here how).
Sign up for a free personal OneDrive account as shown here. Then use this account to import each notebook into your personal account using the online importer.
If the import process begins but then appears not to finish (spinning wheel never stops):

You are not signed into a Personal OneDrive account – see above.
or you using a Mac with Safari as browser (Some version have issues). To solve it install the Chrome browser and import again.
or your OneDrive account might be low on available space. Manually delete any unnecessary files from your OneDrive storage (including any failed notebook uploads) and then try importing the notebook folder again.

Here are 3 simple steps you need to choose from in order to use the templates with your MS Business Account:

SHARE:
Install the templates/notebook into your personal account as per instructions above, then go to your personal account OneDrive, and share it with your Business Account (May not works always).

BOTH:
Alternatively, install the templates/notebook into your Personal Account as per instructions, then sign into both your Personal and Business Accounts. You can now access the templates from your Personal Account, and your other business notebooks from your Business Account.

COPY OR MOVE:
If you want to move the templates/notebook into your Business Account. Then follow step 2 so you’re signed into both your Personal and Business Accounts in your OneNote. Then open the notebook from your Personal Account, create a new notebook under your Business Account and copy each section from the notebook over to the new notebook.
