Interesting sync problem - "Sync to a new location"

Yep, this is a neat feature. The only caution I'd make is about moving the notebook back to the desktop once that computer comes back online. If you just use the "move to new location" feature again to point at the desktop, you'll likely lose some of your more recent notes. Instead, first, you should DELETE the copy of the notebook on the desktop, then use the "sync to new location" from one of the laptops to publish a more recent copy of the notebook to the desktop from scratch. Then you can boot OneNote on the desktop to sync to the updated version of the notebook. This workaround is needed since the feature was designed for permanent moves of notebooks, not temporary relocations (I'm assuming Patrick doesn't want to keep all his notes on the USB stick forever!). If there's more interest, I can have Dan post a proper post about why all of this is necessary.

Sync is one of the best features of OneNote. I wish the rest of Office did this. I wouldn't need groove, if office did.

Sync problem with multiple users

We placed a shared notebook on a server that is accessible to several individuals. Two people have accessed and added content. However, when one of them (the owner of the notebook)syncs it erases what the other person added. Any ideas about how to keep the sync from overwriting the work of others?
