Onenote multiple instances

microsoft-onenote

Is it possible to run multiple instances of OneNote (any edition)? I.e. run two separate instances on same machine, but they both use either different user accounts or opened up different sets of separate notebooks. I know you can open multiple notebooks, but I don't want to be scrolling too much because I have too many opened notebooks, so I would much rather have separate instances of Onenote each for a separate notebook. Is it possible?

Best Answer

It is possible to open multiple instances of OneNote 2013, and each one can have a different notebook open as its "focused" notebook, but all the "pinned" and "recently opened" notebooks will be the same.

In OneNote 2013 with Windows 8.1, if you have one instance of OneNote open, you can right-click the icon on the taskbar and select "Microsoft OneNote" from the menu. A second OneNote window will open up. You can then browse to a separate notebook.

You can also use the "View" ribbon and choose "New Window" and browse to a separate notebook. The "New Docked Window" opens up an always-on-top version of OneNote pinned to the side of your screen for notetaking.
