How to Fix Cannot Email a OneNote Page from an iPad
Question details
The user is unable to email a copy of a page directly from the OneNote app on an iPad, as the feature is either missing or unresponsive.
- Product
- Microsoft OneNote
- Device & OS
- iPadOS
- Scenario
- Attempting to share a OneNote page via email directly from the iPad application.
- Observed behavior
- The 'Email Page' option does not appear in the menu, or fails to generate an email message when tapped, despite following standard troubleshooting instructions.
Ensure your iPad has an active internet connection and that the default iOS Mail app is properly configured and logged into your email account.
Share the Page as a PDF or Link (Workaround)
Since the direct email button is a known missing feature in some versions, using the iOS Share Sheet is the most reliable alternative to send your page.
This method bypasses the built-in 'Email Page' button by utilizing the native iPadOS sharing capabilities. It allows you to send the page as a PDF attachment or a viewable web link.
Open the OneNote page you want to share. In the top right corner of the screen, tap the Share icon (a square with an upward-pointing arrow).
From the dropdown menu, select 'Send Copy of Page' to generate a file, or 'Invite People to Document' if you prefer to send a web link.
When the iOS Share Sheet appears, tap on the Mail app icon. This will open a new email draft with your page attached as a PDF.
Verify the Standard Email Page Option
Check if the standard Email Page feature has been restored or is hidden in your current app version menu.
Update the OneNote App
The missing 'Email Page' button is a recognized bug that has been reported to Microsoft developers. Keeping the app updated ensures you receive the fix once it is released.
Looking for a Reliable Office Suite? Try WPS Office
If you frequently encounter bugs or missing features in your standard document apps on the iPad, consider switching to WPS Office. It provides a lightweight, comprehensive, and highly compatible alternative for viewing, editing, and effortlessly sharing documents on the go.
- 1. Download the App: Open the App Store on your iPad, search for WPS Office, and tap 'Get' to download the free application.
- 2. Open and Sign In: Launch WPS Office and sign in or create a free account to access cloud storage and syncing features.
- 3. Create and Share Easily: Open your files or create new ones, then use the highly reliable built-in sharing tools to email your documents instantly.

Can I share a OneNote page without using the email button?
