    Dear 刘烨炜,

    Thank you for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    If you have OneNote sync issue between your iPhone and your computer, kindly follow the steps below to check:

    1/ Internet Connection and Notebook Location

    • Please ensure both your iPhone and computer have a stable internet connection.
    • Verify that your notebook is stored in OneDrive (OneNote only syncs notebooks saved in OneDrive)

    Steps:

    2/ Update OneNote

    Ensure OneNote is updated to the latest version on both devices.

    • On iPhone: Open the App Store, check for updates, and update OneNote.
    • On desktop: Open OneNote and go to Help > Check for Updates

    3/ Sign Out and Sign Back In

    Authentication issues can prevent syncing.

    On iPhone:

    • Open OneNote
    • Go to Settings > Accounts
    • Sign out, then sign back in using the same Microsoft account as your computer.

    On your computer: Confirm you are signed in with the same account.

    4/ Manual Sync on Desktop

    • On Windows: File > Info > View Sync Status > Sync All
    • On Mac: Control-click the notebook name > Sync This Notebook

    5/ Reinstall OneNote 

    Before reinstalling, please back up any unsynced notes (for example, copy them into OneNote for the web).

    • Delete OneNote from your iPhone
    • Reinstall it from the App Store
    • Sign in again and check sync status

    I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to let me know.
