Error message

com.affine.import.onenote.desktop-only

What it means

The OneNote import path is implemented only against the Electron desktop APIs; in a non-Electron build (web/mobile) handleImport deliberately aborts with this localized message before any file picker is opened, because importConfig.nativeOnly is true and BUILD_CONFIG.isElectron is false.

Solutions

1. Perform OneNote import in the desktop app.
2. Convert the notebook to a supported format for web import.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown in handleImport when the chosen import config is marked nativeOnly (OneNote) but BUILD_CONFIG.isElectron is false, i.e. the web build lacks the native importer.

Common situations: The user clicks OneNote import in the browser version. This import only works in the AFFiNE desktop app; install it to proceed.
