Import from OneNote
Out of OneNote,one section at a time.
OneNote has no clean bulk export, so the reliable path goes through Word files. Cimanote imports .docx directly, and you can drop a whole batch at once.
How it works
- 1
Export each section
In desktop OneNote: File > Export > Section > Word (.docx). Repeat for the sections you want.
- 2
Gather the files
You end up with one .docx per section. Put them anywhere handy.
- 3
Drop them all into Cimanote
Multi-select works. Each section arrives as a note with your pages as headings.
What carries over
The honest version - what arrives intact, what changes shape, and what cannot make the trip.
Common questions
Why not import OneNote files directly?
Microsoft does not provide a usable bulk export format. The Word route is the most faithful path that actually exists, and we would rather be honest about that than pretend otherwise.
Can I split a section into separate notes afterwards?
Yes. Cut and paste into new notes inside Cimanote; formatting survives the trip.
Coming from somewhere else? See all import guides or the Import & Export overview.
Ready to leave OneNote behind?
Import is free on every account. Your notes, plus a Knowledge Engine that connects them.
