I am trying to add a blank One Note document to the document web part so when a user hits the "+ NEW" button they have an option to create a new word, excel, power point or one note document, as shown below:

enter image description here

I have no idea how to add a new document type to this template, I went into library settings but couldn't figure it out. It seems like a simple solution but I'm stuck.

I appreciate any help!

Thank you

You can add a new document type into the document library easily through the following steps:

  • Create a New Site content type by going to Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Site Content Types under Galleries. Use the Parent Content Type Document from Document Content Types Group.
  • Name the content Type something like "OneNote Document".
  • Go to the Advanced Settings of the newly created content type, add a new OneNote Document template.
  • Next, Go to your document library settings page, and go to Advanced Settings.
  • Here, set Allow Management of Content Types to Yes and click Ok.
  • Next, Add the Newly created Content Type to the Library.

You should now be able to see the new document type in the New Document dropdown. Visit here for more details.

    This answer has just made some assumptions based on other Office formats. But OneNote works differently. It is actually stored as a Folder and not Document type. And there is not a single document template for OneNote, which could be uploaded (like e.g. dotx for Word). Nevertheless, I have tried these steps and just used file called "New Section 1.one" as template, which I have found in corresponding OneNote folder (from an existing DocLib) - it did not work out as I expected anyway. Any ideas how it could be achieved with OneNote? I found more questions than real answers in the Internet...

  • It does also not work with .onepkg file, which is a single packaged export file for notebooks. This answer from Microsoft does not indicate that it is feasible with OneNote: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/…
