While setting up Teams Class Notebook, I somehow didn't add the Students Section with individual names of students. I think I accidentally removed all sections for Students section while setting up the Teams Class Notebook. How do I rectify this mistake?

    Hi @Sindhu Krishnan,

    Normally, when you set up a Class Notebook for a class team, student sections are created automatically once students are added to the team. When a user is added with the Student role, Teams and OneNote automatically create a private notebook space with that student’s individual sections.

    Just to make sure I understand correctly, are you not seeing the list of your students’ names in the Student Sections at the moment?User's image

    If that’s the case, you can try the following steps:

    First, go to your class team in Microsoft Teams, select More options, then choose Add member and make sure all students are added to the team.

    This should trigger the automatic provisioning process. In most cases, the individual student sections will be created within a few minutes. Occasionally it can take a little longer due to synchronization, so please allow some time and try refreshing the tab if needed.

    I’d recommend giving this a try and seeing if the student sections appear. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, or if I’ve misunderstood what you’re looking for, please feel free to reply directly under this post with any updates or details. I’ll be happy to continue supporting you and look into it further with you.

    Thanks for your patience, and I hope this helps.
