Can't create new OneNote notebook: "Create" button is disabled

Question

I'm a new OneNote user. I'm trying to create my first notebook. However, the "Create" button is disabled. See screencap below.

P.S. The "Where" menu is empty.

OS: macOS High Sierra, version 10.13
Application: Microsoft OneNote for Mac, version 15.39 (171010)

Solution

In order to create a new notebook, you must select an option from the Where menu. So your question should have been: "Why is my Where menu empty?" The reason your Where menu is empty is that you're not signed-in to your Microsoft account. You can sign-in to your Microsoft account using the Sign in... item on the OneNote menu (see screen cap below).

And what happens if you tell it where to create the new notebook? Does the Create button then become enabled?

@DavidPostill: The where menu is empty.

Which answer worked?

[Evan Aad]

@DavidPostill: This one, sort of. More precisely, what I did was to sign in to my Microsoft account via OneNote's Sign In... menu option (on a Mac, it's on the OneNote menu), and then all was good.

You should answer this question then with what you did :)

@DavidPostill: Done.
