Why does the please wait while onenote inserts the document message keep appearing?

[Zoe]

I keep seeing the please wait while onenote inserts the document message when trying to add files to my notebook. The process seems to freeze and doesn’t complete. I’m not sure if it’s a syncing issue or a software bug. How can I fix this and insert documents normally again?

If not, you may want to check if any updates are available for OneNote. Additionally, you can also try disabling any third-party add-ins to see if they're causing the problem.
