Create, read, and manage OneNote notebooks, sections, and pages via Microsoft Graph API. Use when someone asks to "create OneNote pages", "read OneNote notes", "automate OneNote", "save to OneNote", "extract OneNote content", "organize OneNote notebooks", or "OneNote API". Covers notebooks, sections, pages (create with HTML), content extraction, and search.
This skill helps AI agents integrate with Microsoft OneNote via the Graph API. It covers creating and managing notebooks, sections, and pages, generating rich page content with HTML, extracting text and images, and searching across notes.
// Same Azure AD app as other Microsoft 365 services
// Permissions needed:
// Notes.ReadWrite — read/write user's notebooks
// Notes.ReadWrite.All — access all notebooks (admin)
// Notes.Create — create only
import { Client } from '@microsoft/microsoft-graph-client';
// ... same auth setup as other Graph API skills
// List notebooks
const notebooks = await graphClient.api(`/users/${userId}/onenote/notebooks`)
.select('id,displayName,createdDateTime,lastModifiedDateTime')
.get();
// Create notebook
const notebook = await graphClient.api(`/users/${userId}/onenote/notebooks`)
.post({ displayName: 'Project Notes' });
// List sections in a notebook
const sections = await graphClient
.api(`/users/${userId}/onenote/notebooks/${notebookId}/sections`)
.select('id,displayName')
.get();
// Create section
const section = await graphClient
.api(`/users/${userId}/onenote/notebooks/${notebookId}/sections`)
.post({ displayName: 'Meeting Notes' });
// Create section group (for organizing sections)
const group = await graphClient
.api(`/users/${userId}/onenote/notebooks/${notebookId}/sectionGroups`)
.post({ displayName: 'Q1 2026' });
OneNote pages are created using HTML. The API accepts a subset of HTML with OneNote-specific data attributes.

Key data-tag values: to-do, important, question, remember-for-later, definition, highlight, contact, idea, critical, project-a, project-b. Use <meta name="created" content="2026-03-01T09:00:00-05:00" /> for timestamps. Standard <ul> nesting creates indented outlines.

User prompt: "Create a OneNote page in my Engineering notebook's Sprint section for today's sprint retrospective. Attendees are Marcus, Jenna, and Priya. We discussed what went well with the payment migration and what to improve in CI pipeline times."
The agent will use the Graph API to first look up the notebook named "Engineering" via GET /onenote/notebooks?$filter=displayName eq 'Engineering', find the "Sprint" section, then create a new page via POST /onenote/sections/{sectionId}/pages with XHTML content. The page HTML includes a <title>Sprint 14 Retrospective — February 18, 2026</title>, a <meta name="created"> timestamp, an <h1> header, attendee list, an <h2>What Went Well</h2> section with bullet points about the payment migration completing 2 days ahead of schedule, an <h2>What to Improve</h2> section noting CI pipeline averaging 18 minutes (target: under 10), and an <h2>Action Items</h2> with data-tag="to-do" items like "Marcus: investigate parallel test execution to cut CI time" and "Priya: document payment migration rollback procedure."
User prompt: "Find my OneNote page titled 'Q1 OKR Tracker' and append a progress update for the 'reduce churn' objective — we hit 2.1% churn this month, down from 2.8% in January."
The agent will search for the page using GET /onenote/pages?$filter=contains(title, 'Q1 OKR Tracker')&$select=id,title,parentSection, retrieve the page ID, then call PATCH /onenote/pages/{pageId}/content with a JSON body targeting body with action append and position after. The appended HTML content is <h2>Update — February 18, 2026</h2><p><b>Reduce Churn Objective:</b> Monthly churn dropped to 2.1%, down from 2.8% in January. On track to hit Q1 target of 1.8%.</p><p data-tag="important">Key driver: improved onboarding flow launched Feb 3 reduced 30-day churn by 25%.</p>.
