You can encrypt sections of a notebook. Not even Microsoft has the key.
It's endpoint encryption. If you forget the password, kiss you data
goodbye.

Instead of on sections, I wish they would let me encrypt on notebook
granularity: encrypt the notebook, and all sections within are also
encrypted. I don't encrypt the grocery or other shopping lists. I do
encrypt any section that has sensitive data within it.

Just like when using OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and other cloud-
based file storage, if the files have sensitive data, encrypt them
before putting on OneDrive. Don't expect them to protect your data if
you don't.
