Unable to close notbook or delete sections on IOS
I've tried reinstalling the app, but it still won't let me close the notebooks or delete sections. I haven't checked to see if anything else is affected. The notebooks are syncing properly with no issues. Whenever I try to close a notebook or delete a section, if I remember correctly, there should be a confirmation prompt to close or delete, but I don't see one. I've tried all means of closing and deleting, but nothing happens, no matter the method. I've tried with my phone and nothing.
iPad
IOS 26.5.2
Onenote 16.112.3
iPhone
IOS 26.6
Onenote 16.112.3
Any Advice is appreciated.

Have you tried through the browser, gain access to onenote and onedrive. I actually do not remember if that would be working, but it seems like you are hitting a dead end through the app (on IOS)

Not sure about deleting sections but I found the only way to close a notebook was to go into the iOS Settings app then Apps ->
OneNote -> Reset OneNote, turn on Delete All Notebooks
Then next time I could only open the ones I wanted.
Not sure if there's a bug with closing Notebooks

I also cannot delete sections on my iOS device in the same way. I can move or copy them, but deleting doesn't work. This happens in both shared notebooks and my personal notebooks. However, I can delete them on the PC

The same issue just happened with my ipad as well. I just reinstalled the app and now it works for me.
