    It sounds like you're experiencing a connectivity issue with OneNote on your iPad, even though you are connected to the internet. Here are a few things you can check:

    1. Network Connection: Ensure that your iPad is indeed connected to a stable internet connection. You can try switching between Wi-Fi and cellular data to see if that resolves the issue.
    2. App Status: Sometimes, OneNote may show "working offline" if it has not been able to sync properly. Check if there are any notifications or error messages within the app that might indicate what the problem is.
    3. Sign-In Status: Make sure you are signed into your OneNote account. If your account is not authenticated, it can lead to syncing issues.
    4. Sync Status: Look for the sync status icon in the app. If it indicates that a sync is in progress or has failed, you may need to troubleshoot further. You can try closing the app and reopening it to force a sync.
    5. Offline Mode: If the app is in offline mode, it will not sync your changes. You can try switching to online mode if that option is available in the app settings.

    If the issue persists, it may take some time to resolve itself, especially if there are network issues or if the OneNote servers are experiencing high traffic.
