OneNote 2007 section reverted to old version
SimonW 6/8/2007 9:00:00 AM
I experienced a problem the other day where I had been working on a section,
and when I then shared it with a colleague, it reverted back to an old
version.

I had previously shared the section before - it seems like the colleagues
version overwrote mine?

Had anyone else experienced this problem?

You shared it with a live sharing session and your colleague has OneNote
2003?

No, we both use the 2007 version.

Odd..that's an understatement! A whole day's work wiped in a stroke.
There was no error shown on the section. I did have a look in the cache -
could see some of the missing text - but I don't know how to recover from
there.

I had shared the section before - on more than one occaision had left the
share on but had moved the machine to another location (and IP address).
Also, the other person did send me an invitation to share from their
notebook (in error). Perhaps that had something to do with it?

The notebook is on my machine.
To start the share I did
Share -> Live Sharing -> Start Sharing Current Section

No, the section was not already shared (but had previously been).

He had a cached copy of it, so I am not 100% sure. But it was MY notebook?

Well after I closed the shared session, the other use had a version of my
section files
