### Password-protected sections
OneNote supports encryption at section level; when importing a notebook that contains these password-protection sections, Trilium will not be able to read the content of password-protected sections so they will appear empty. This is not a limitation of Trilium, the information is simply not available from the source (Graph API).
The section itself is kept for reference and all the sections that could not be imported will be shown in the report (the top-level note called _OneNote import_).
To unprotect a section in OneNote Desktop, right click on the protected section → _Password Protect This Section_ and press _Remove Password_ and sync. Then reimport either only the protected sessions or the remove everything and start the import from scratch.
## Other limitations
The following are known limitations due to how the information comes from the import (Microsoft Graph API), which means that they cannot be fixed.
