OneNote Permissions

Question

Is there a way to allow members of a shared OneNote file to edit pages but not be able to delete pages/sections?

I have a large team that uses OneNote and once in a while someone deletes a page by accident. I want to prevent this.

I think they do this from their phone. It is too easy to swipe left and delete pages on the phone. Is there way to change the phone (iPhone) settings to not have swipe left to delete?

Hi @Rick

It's not feasible to allow users to edit the shared notebook while preventing them from deleting a page.

I would suggest you submit feedback via Microsoft Feedback Forum: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/c06dcc30-2e1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472

Thanks for your understanding.

Besides, we are unable to block swiping to delete notebook on phones. Here is 1similar thread, you may vote it up.

This way, you can help Microsoft engineers have a better visibility on what issues that you’re experiencing with OneNote and which features are most important to you.
