Do you use OneNote to collaborate on a large team and want to make sure one group doesn't see the budget? Or do you want to share a notebook with photographs from your last trip and want your friends to see all of them but not your family? Or what if your laptop is stolen, do you want your information to be safe? Whatever the reason, it's a good idea to know how to password protect sections of your OneNote notebook. It's pretty simple. Just follow the steps below.
NOTE: Passwords can be applied only to individual sections, and not to entire notebooks.
To password protect a notebook section:
One more tip: Password-protected sections aren't included in the results when you search a notebook. To include them, unlock the password-protected sections.

Good tip. I'm heavily using OneNote myself and rely on this to keep a lot of passwords and such secured. Best of both worlds; you use one password which you know quite well to protect dozens of other passwords which you use on several websites (or other environments).
Actually... A password protected section will get synchronized to SkyDrive, but the main problem is that the mobile versions (the webapp and the version on the Windows Phone) unfortunately don't support password protection.
For example; besides a local notebook I also use an online notebook (Skydrive) which I can access using my Win7 computer, my WinXP laptop, my Windows Phone and obviously using the website. When I make changes in the password protected section on either my PC or laptop then the changes easily find their way onto Skydrive. The only problem, you may guessed it, is that I won't be able to open them on either mobile environment.
Does anyone know when these features will be available (access in the mobile environment)? I'm assuming an update is all it would take. I'm sure one of MO's savvy engineers could create this programming in a second. I love OneNote, but this is an issue for me.

I've been trawling the web looking for an update re. password protected sections in non-desktop OneNote apps (I have a surface and a Lumia and neither currently work) - anyone?
