OneNote Synchronization and Conflict
OneNote 2007
I am using OneNote 2007 SP1 with Windows XP. When I am typing a note the
text will disappear at times and a conflict page will be created containing
the text I typed. I will re-type the deleted text and continue on; however,
the same process will happen again a minute or so later with yet another
conflict page created with the new text. How can I keep this from happening?
It appears it is related to OneNote trying to synchronize changes and the
conflict pages are there for me to resolve later on; however, this is very
frustrating.
I should point out that the software is installed locally and the OneNote
data files are stored locally. I am not sharing the OneNote files with
anyone…nor do I want to. I changed the Sync setting to “Work Offline,” but
this seems to have no affect. What am I doing wrong?
In addition, I frequently see an error message at the top of a section that
says “This section is corrupted. Click here to try to repair this section.”
Is this a related problem? I will often repair the section only to see it
become corrupted again later on. I never experienced these problems in prior
versions of OneNote. Help!!!!
Sounds like your section got corrupted somehow. Since repair doesn’t
seem to be working, I’d recommend copying all the content into a new
section and deleting the corrupt section once you have a copy of everything.
The conflict pages are likely a sideeffect of the corruption. Ideally,
you wouldn’t be seeing conflict pages at all in a single-user scenario.
