One Note FAQ's
What is a OneNote Individual Connection?
A OneNote Individual Connection allows you to sync the OneNote Notebooks you own with AlphaSense. You can sync your Notebooks that are stored in your OneDrive and accessible through your OneNote application.
Can I share my OneNote Notebooks with my team members in AlphaSense?
Yes, once your individual connection is established, you have full control over how your synced content is shared within AlphaSense. Once the connection is established, you can choose to keep your content private or share it with others, based on the sharing settings you configure during folder sync setup.
AlphaSense offers four sharing preferences:
Private: Content is only accessible to you and remains hidden from other team members.
Select Individuals: You can explicitly choose which team members have access to your synced content.
Select Group: You can create groups in AlphaSense, add relevant team members, and configure content to be shared with those groups.
Default Setting: You can set any of the above options as your default, ensuring that all incoming content is automatically shared according to your preferred configuration.
Does the OneNote connector sync Notebooks from all sources?
No, the OneNote connector only syncs Notebooks stored in your OneNote application or OneDrive. Notebooks saved in other locations, such as SharePoint, can only be synced to AlphaSense using the SharePoint connector. For setup, see "Can I sync my SharePoint Notebook to AlphaSense?"
Does AlphaSense OneNote support Shared and Workspace connections?
No, currently only individual connections are supported for OneNote. This means you can sync Notebooks you own to AlphaSense and then set up sharing within AlphaSense as needed.
Does AlphaSense OneNote support syncing Notebooks owned by other users?
No, AlphaSense currently only supports syncing OneNote Notebooks that you personally created within the OneNote or OneDrive application. Notebooks that are shared with you—either explicitly or through a Microsoft 365 Group—are not supported for sync at this time. However, we are actively evaluating options to extend support for shared Notebooks in the near future.
