In December last year I wrote a blog entitled 'The Future of OneNote in Education' where Mike Tholfsen walked through a lot of the features around accessibility being built into the OneNote Windows 10 app. This week, a new blog post has been written signposting the future of OneNote on Windows 10 more generally and for educators and students alike, this is an important announcement.

First thing always is to login to OneNote online with your browser and check if the missing section is there. There is also a way to make the hidden actual OneNote files visible on OneDrive. Sections are single files with a.ONE extension, so you could check if it's even there and for some reason just not loaded into OneNote. Open OneDrive in your browser (not the OneDrive sync folder in Explorer!), click on the link to your used and available space (left bottom) and on the next page on the link 'What's taking up space'. You'll get a list of all files sorted by their size. Instead of the general OneNote notebook placeholders the actual section files are listed here with their name and a OneNote symbol. If your missing section is here, I could advise you how to download it (needs another trick) and even load it into the OneNote UWP app to retrieve all pages (that would be easier with OneNote 2016 though).
Looking into appdata is useless; you'd find only the cache copies of OneNote 2016 (not the Windows 10 app) there. Also that cache would not be of any use to solve this issue because it's in a special binary and fragmented format.
Are you using or at least owning OneNote 2016 (along with the Windows 10 app)? In that case making backups of sections (export to ONE) or complete notebooks (export to ONEPKG or use the backup function under 'Options', 'Save and Backup') is easy. If you don't have OneNote 2016 at hand try this: If your notebooks on OneDrive are stored inside a subfolder, download that complete folder using your web browser (don't try to download individual notebooks, it won't let you).
The resulting ZIP file also contains all notebook data like with local notebooks (e.g.ONE files for every section). If your notebooks are in the main folder of your OneDrive, create a new folder, copy the placeholders (what appears as OneNote 'file') of the notebooks to that backup folder and then download that folder.
Remember to delete the backup folder afterwards or all of your notebooks will get listed twice in the client apps.

First, make sure you update OneNote for Mac to the latest version, as this feature is absent in versions prior to 15.36. Once you’re updated, launch the OneNote app and select Window New Window from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Control (⌃) + M. A second instance of OneNote will appear in its own separate window. This second window functions exactly like any other OneNote window, allowing you to browse the sections and pages of your notebooks, switch notebooks, and add or edit data. As mentioned, this can be super handy for looking at two sections of the same large notebook at once, or for comparing or copying data between different notebooks. And it doesn’t just stop at two windows.
You can continue to open additional windows as desired. When you’re done with your multiple OneNote windows, just close any that are no longer needed and the app will continue to run with any remaining open windows. You can also quit the app using Command (⌘) + Q to close all windows at once. Unfortunately, OneNote currently does not retain your multiple windows, so the next time you open the app it will load just the single window and you’ll have to re-open any desired additional windows manually.
