Using OneNote CLI /new switch

[magoo]

Hi folks,

I assumed that with the /new switch I could create a new section with the
specified parameter as name.
All I get is a new section with the name "Section 1", no matter what I add.

Can anyone tell me what to do here?
And if a pro is on the way: My final goal would be to create a sheet within
a fixed section. Is that possible at all?

"Creates a new section, called New Section 1, in the default notebook folder
(for example, OneNote Notebooks). The filename parameter must include the
disk and folder path and a unique file name with the .one file name
extension. If the specified file name already exists in the target folder,
the number in the section name is increased incrementally (for example, if
New Section 1 was the specified file name but the file already existed, a
file named New Section 2 would be created)."

The parameter only specifies the file name of the .one file. There appears
to be no option to specify the section name.

If you are into PowerShell you could download the OneNote Provider:

And then use commands similar to these to create any section or page names
you like:
new-item -path OneNote:\Technical\MySection -type section
new-item -path OneNote:\Technical\MySection\MyPage -type page
