Examples
await OneNote.run(async (context) => {
// Get the section groups that are direct children of the current notebook.
const sectionGroups = context.application.getActiveNotebook().sectionGroups;
// Queue a command to load the section groups.
// For best performance, request specific properties.
sectionGroups.load("id");
// Run the queued commands, and return a promise to indicate task completion.
await context.sync();
// Add a section to each section group.

Returns
Remarks
Examples
await OneNote.run(async (context) => {
let sectionGroup;
let nestedSectionGroup;
// Gets the active notebook.
const notebook = context.application.getActiveNotebook();
// Queue a command to add a new section group.
const sectionGroups = notebook.sectionGroups;
// Queue a command to load the new section group.
sectionGroups.load();
// Run the queued commands, and return a promise to indicate task completion.
await context.sync();

await context.sync();
nestedSectionGroup = sectionGroup.addSectionGroup("Sample nested section group");
nestedSectionGroup.load();
await context.sync();
console.log("New nested section group name is " + nestedSectionGroup.name);
});
getRestApiId()
Gets the REST API ID.
getRestApiId(): OfficeExtension.ClientResult<string>;Returns
OfficeExtension.ClientResult<string>
Remarks
load(options)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(options?: OneNote.Interfaces.SectionGroupLoadOptions): OneNote.SectionGroup;Parameters
Provides options for which properties of the object to load.
Returns
load(propertyNames)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNames?: string | string[]): OneNote.SectionGroup;Parameters
- propertyNames
-
string | string[]
A comma-delimited string or an array of strings that specify the properties to load.
Returns
Examples
await OneNote.run(async (context) => {
// Get the parent section group that contains the current section.
const sectionGroup = context.application.getActiveSection().parentSectionGroup;
// Queue a command to load the section group.
// For best performance, request specific properties.
sectionGroup.load("id,name");
// Run the queued commands, and return a promise to indicate task completion.
await context.sync();
// Write the properties.
console.log("Section group name: " + sectionGroup.name);
console.log("Section group ID: " + sectionGroup.id);
});
load(propertyNamesAndPaths)
Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.
load(propertyNamesAndPaths?: {
select?: string;
expand?: string;
}): OneNote.SectionGroup;Parameters
- propertyNamesAndPaths
-
{ select?: string; expand?: string; }
propertyNamesAndPaths.select is a comma-delimited string that specifies the properties to load, and propertyNamesAndPaths.expand is a comma-delimited string that specifies the navigation properties to load.
Returns
toJSON()
Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original OneNote.SectionGroup object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as OneNote.Interfaces.SectionGroupData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
toJSON(): OneNote.Interfaces.SectionGroupData;Returns
track()
Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you are using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you needed to have added the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created.
track(): OneNote.SectionGroup;Returns
untrack()
Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You will need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.
untrack(): OneNote.SectionGroup;Returns
