Removing students from Team created class notebooks
Here's an interesting one:
When a new student is added to a Team, they also arrive in class notebook. But when they are removed from the Team, they remain in the notebook. When you go to 'add or r...

It does work like that. Remove the student from the team and access is removed but the student section remains in the team class notebook. Not a big deal if you are working with a single student to then have to go in and delete the individual section to remove it. However, at the end of the school year when I want to recycle my class notebooks and use them again for next year's class this is additional steps that I shouldn't have to take individually. I will have to remove this year's students from the team and then go into the notebook and delete each student section individually. Not a problem for 10 kids in 1 notebook, but what about the other 100 in the other notebooks? That's a lot of extra work. As a safety measure couldn't there be a check box when removing a student from a team to either delete or not delete the student section from the notebook? And then an Are you sure? box? Keep it simple.

When the student is removed from the Team, doesn't this automatically remove the permissions for their class notebook? I haven't tested this to confirm it, but I thought that's the way it worked. The student notebook would still remain in OneNote, but that wouldn't be any different from using add/remove students to remove a student in a standard (non-Teams) class notebook. You would still need to delete the student section. I've been told that this is a feature, not a bug, because it's an extra step to prevent student data from being deleted.

Sean Harris Excuses, if you ask me. Just add a confirmation prompt. Now we are stuck with the student forever!

I managed to delete the folders by accessing class notebook via full version of one note - you can delete the student folders in here and they are removed. SimonCHLim

Sharon_Stewart I find it rather confusion the student name for the Student notebook - is it a sort of label or placeholder? I cannot remove it. I can remove all the subsections in it but it does not allow me to do anything to it. Is it like a "parent folder"? It does not appear so, and it is not behave like a section

Sharon_Stewart Thank you Sharon. I found it too, after many tries and I doubt I can find it again but for the time being I can solve it. I tried it on Web, it did not work. I tried it on App, it did not work. But somehow I chanced on one version and it did.
What I did at the full version, I went to the tab Add/Remove student and it took me to another screen like a Wizard - and then it said "No ClassNotebooks created" when I had accessed it from the Class Notebook! Really confusing!Thanks anyway
