How do I get back the original structure and nesting of several notebooks that were disassembled during a required refresh? Onenote on my android prompted me for a required refresh. What it left me with is hundreds of misplaced sections from several notebooks that are gone from their original places and lumped together in one notebook "Misplaced Sections".

Thanks, Patrick. I apparently did not pay attention. I got the same message on my iPad today as well :)
I hope you find this information useful. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Otherwise, please take a moment to accept the answer. Wishing you good luck!
Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi Patrick,
I'm Sumit, here to help with your query on the Microsoft Q&A forums.
Apologies for any inconvenience you are experiencing. I am happy to help you today.
There has been no update to OneNote for Android since 2023, if the UX is concerned.
If you swipe up again, does it help in any way?
Also, try on a PC please and let me know if the sections appear properly.
I look forward to your response and am eager to collaborate until we find a solution.
The up swipe didn't do anything, but Onenote appears to have been replacing the sections on its own. I'll see if this fixes it. Initially, Onenote requested a refresh when I opened the app. I had six available Notebooks (and a number listed in the closed notebook section) when it started the refresh process, incrementing as it went 1/6, 2/6, etc.
Thank you, Patrick. Any updates this morning?
Like I said, the swipe up seemed to have no affect, but the app had already started correcting misplaced sections. It only left one section remaining. That's acceptable. I'll call this issue closed.
