I'm also confused why pages are parts of sections. You would expect sections to be inside pages, because semantically that makes a lot more sense, but whatever, I can just swap the words in my head so it makes sense to me.

The problem is they are named "Untitled" and I can't seem to rename them. I'm trying to manually recreate a Wiki becuse the wiki to notes tool does a terrible job. I just need to make sections (pages) for each wiki section. Everything is done because I already built the wiki, I just need to manually rewrite the whole thing.

How do you rename the things in that massively wide table of contents that takes up most of the space for the wiki content? Right clicking and double clicking doesn't do anything.

    I've determined that each "page" can only have one title per page so all my "pages" are redundant. I think I just need to accept that it's too confusing and even if I try very hard to make sense out of this, there's absolutely no way this will make any sense to someone reading the doc. I'm going to build a wiki page in HTML. Thanks a lot MS lost a whole month to your anti-design methodology.

    Honestly this is my fault for trying. Everyone know it's not possible to use MS 365 for effective communication. Ugh.

    Please mark this as the answer.

    It should be:

    Chapters > Pages > Sections

    Seriously MS, hire designers and UX professionals because your semantics are completely wrong.

    Hi @41844108

    For the renaming of OneNote chapters, you can refer to the following steps:

    The first column is the name to be changed by right clicking the mouse, and the name of the second column is to type the new name in the header text at the top of the page.
