As more and more teachers use Class Notebooks, stand alone or integrated with Microsoft Teams, the <a href=\"https:\/\/onenote.uservoice.com\/forums\/362784-education\/suggestions\/9356466-lock-teacher-mark-up-comments-from-deletion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">most common request<\/a> we\u2019ve heard from teachers is the ability to \u201clock\u201d a page. This capability allows educators to have control and make the OneNote page read only for students while still allowing the teacher to add feedback or marks.\u00a0 Today, we are excited to deliver on this request and begin rolling out page locking broadly to help teachers manage their classrooms and save time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Page Locking<\/strong>\u2014To further simplify classroom workflows, we are delivering on the number-one request from teachers for\u00a0<span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onenote.com\/classnotebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">OneNote Class Notebooks<\/a><\/span>\u2014enabling\u00a0<strong>lock pages<\/strong>. With our new page locking, the following capabilities are enabled:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Teachers can now lock all the pages of a distributed page as read-only after giving feedback to the student.<\/li>\n<li>Teachers can unlock or lock individual pages by simply right clicking on the page on a student.<\/li>\n<li>Teachers using <span><a href=\"http:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft Teams<\/a><\/span> to create OneNote assignments can have the page of the OneNote assignment automatically lock as read only when the due date\/time passes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During our early testing process, we\u2019ve had teachers trying out the page locking in their classrooms.\u00a0 Robin Licato, an AP Chemistry and Forensic Science from St. Agnes Academy, Houston, TX had this to say: <em>\u201cThis feature is an absolute game changer. \u00a0I am enjoying the ability to unlock a specific student who has an extension on an assignment due to illness or absence while keeping the page locked for students who did not complete the assignment on time!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Scott Titmas, Technology Integration Specialist Old Bridge Township Public Schools, NJ was also an early beta tester of the new page locking feature. <em>\u201cThe page locking feature is extremely intuitive, easy to use, and opens a whole new world of possibilities for teachers. It will be a welcomed feature addition for all teachers.\u00a0 More encouraging than just this feature is the fact that Microsoft has consistently shown they listen to their users and user voice drives the direction of product development\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Platforms supported<\/strong> <strong>\u2013<\/strong> Initially, we are rolling this out for OneNote for Windows 10, OneNote 2016 Desktop Addin, OneNote Online, and OneNote for iPad. Most platforms will provide page locking built in to the toolbar. For OneNote desktop, <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onenote.com\/classnotebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">download the new free add in<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>For additional details on which version of OneNote is required for both teacher and students, please visit this <span><a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/pagelocksupport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new OneNote Class Notebook page locking support article<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 It is important to read this article to understand the details before rolling this out.<\/p>\n<p>Important Note #1: for OneNote 2016 Desktop MSI customers, <strong>you must deploy <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/4011571\/february-6-2018-update-for-onenote-2016-kb4011571\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this Public Update first<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0before student and teacher pages will properly lock.\u00a0 Please work with your IT Admin to ensure you properly deployment this patch first.\u00a0 Page Locking is <strong>not<\/strong> supported for OneNote 2013 Desktop clients\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Important note #2: Page Locking works best when a page is distributed or made into an assignment. For example, if students copy the pages manually from the Content Library into their own notebooks and change the page title, the teacher will have to manually right click on the student page to lock it, instead of being able to use the single checkbox to lock all pages.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/teachers-you-asked-for-it-page-locking-comes-to-onenote-class-notebooks.png\" alt=\"Page Locking.png\" title=\"Page Locking.png\" class=\"lia-media-image\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Page Locking in OneNote for Windows 10<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/teachers-you-asked-for-it-page-locking-comes-to-onenote-class-notebooks.jpg\" alt=\"Win32.jpg\" title=\"Win32.jpg\" class=\"lia-media-image\" \/><\/span><em>Page Locking in OneNote 2016 Desktop<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span class=\"lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/teachers-you-asked-for-it-page-locking-comes-to-onenote-class-notebooks-1.jpg\" alt=\"Right click.jpg\" title=\"Right click.jpg\" class=\"lia-media-image\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Teacher right click to unlock a page<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Class Notebook Addin version 2.5.0.0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Page Locking support to allow teachers to make a page of set of student pages read-only<\/li>\n<li>Bug fixes and performance improvements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope you enjoy these new updates!
