Hi, Hope, there was a solution? more provsion for recovery?
I am experiencing the same challenge. Another similar query was raised in this article too: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/student-has-deleted-1-page-in-the-collaboration/4e5a9715-acdf-44d8-a964-c6202c5bb875
Class Notebook is really awsome, I love it :)))) but this issue really needs resolving/further advice 🙂
The deleted sections were not found in the Recycle bin for both myself and the student in One Drive following these instructions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/recover-deleted-class-notebook-files-from-the-onedrive-recycle-bin-b4b4aaa6-b03f-4808-8da2-51680ad53448
This is really worring if students deleted a section or a page!
The Class Notebook we are using is in Teams space, when we go to the corresponding SharePoint site, it shows which user (e.g. student) has deleted a section. Interestingly, there is a 'Restore button' (pictured below), but when we go through the restoration steps, no recovery happens ( e.g. the section won't be restored back to Class Notebook in Teams space).
We are promoting Class Notebook usage to staff in our organisation, however, this will sadly put off many academics of using the collaboration space with students. It will be too much hassle and time consuming 😞
Hope, someone could help on this!
Kind Regards 🙂

MHB777 This is a case of Microsoft has released a product without proper data safety fetures such as backups. It seems if a student accidentally deletes a a page in Class Notebbok collaboration space, it's gone forever ... so much for collaboration! It's a real pity!

I hope this will be solved soon
I have a workaround for the back up, but it is impractical for busy eduactors!- bbyrdSep 22, 2023Copper ContributorAny resolution yet? This is a big issue with Education which is seems has been a step child of MS.
Can the notebooks be placed in the teachers SharePoint or separate out the student notebook and have it in SharePoint. We are HUGE OneNote Classroom users. This is a great need.
