Auditing the hierarchy

Content discovery, inventory and migration planning all start with the same question: what is in the tenant, and where? OneNote makes you walk for it — notebooks contain section groups (which nest), section groups contain sections, and sections contain pages. This script walks a bounded slice and can emit JSON. Reads only; requires Notes.Read.

Walk the tree

Recurse through section groups, then read a bounded number of pages per section:

def walk(container):
    for section in container.sections.get().execute_query():
        yield section
    for group in container.section_groups.get().execute_query():
        yield from walk(group)

→ structure.py

python structure.py --limit 5 --pages 20 --json

--json writes the tree to onenote_structure.json in the temp directory, ready to feed into a report or a migration script.
