Copy a shared notebook into a private notebook

Hello,

 

How do I take a shared, read only notebook and create a copy that is private to me and editable?

Windows desktop.

Thanks!

Try exporting the notebook to ENML format (right click on notebook,  then select "Export notes..."), then Importing the resulting .enex file back into Evernote (File / Import... ).

Thanks!  I did this and it still seems to be owned by the original person, but it is now editable. Maybe it just copied over the author info?

I don't think that there's any notebook author information in an Evernote notebook, though there is in an Evernote note, and that's retained (as may not be the actual author of the note). The notebook should be yours, and synchronisable; right click on the notebook and select "Properties...,". You rename the notebook to whatever you want; Evernote gives it a generic name, I think.
