Overview of this book

Do you want to take your information and note organization to a new level? This book will show you how to use Microsoft’s organizational app, OneNote, to store endless amounts of information in a productive and organized way, including solutions for creating your notes and then sharing them easily with your team or department. You’ll be guided through everything you need to set up a notebook and customize it to suit you or your team. The book will show you how to navigate through OneNote and search for virtually anything, as well as save time with all the shortcuts. You’ll discover that inserting information into your notebooks goes far beyond text, images, and videos, and also includes emails, links to documents, and clippings from the web. But it doesn’t stop there. Integration with other Microsoft products is key for making your experience successful, and this book demonstrates how to use OneNote with Microsoft Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams. Beyond instructions and essential topics, this book also provides you with the motivation you need to make OneNote a habit as well as real-life examples of notebooks you can use. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to use OneNote for everything and from every device. Even if you start a notebook on your laptop and continue it on your phone, you’ll find working with the app seamless.

To get the most out of this book

You will need Microsoft OneNote to follow along with the steps outlined in this book. You can find OneNote as an application included in Windows 10; we recommend this version as the book covers examples with this version in mind. OneNote is also available as part of Microsoft 365, but that OneNote version will look slightly different from the screenshots shown in this book.

OneNote is also available as a web application and an app that can be loaded on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. OneNote works well on Mac computers as well and most of the examples in this book will work in a Mac environment.

Chapter 1, OneNote - How and Where to Use it?, will walk you through how to set up OneNote on your computer, smartphone, or tablet.

If your Microsoft account is not allowing you to access shared notebooks, please seek the advice of an IT professional.
