Oh, your contents are really heaven-sent! Many thanks!
I just bought a Galaxy Book2Pro360 & in transition to digital notetaking so I can declutter my room from papers!
I hope I can be a lot more organized this time😁

So much valuable information I immediately went back and watched it a second time to really make sure i caught everything!

Thank you for the video Brandon. I like the suggestion to add page templates and the new window to the quick access tool bar. I've also added the Shapes command and the Lasso select command to my own quick access tool bar.

Great presentation Branden. I have reviewed your PDF Planner and really like the layout. Especially coming from using Full FOcus planner for a few years. I created my own for a few years for OneNote but you have added a few more details that I appreciate including expenses. I would love to see a video on how you manage your planner with Email, Task manager. I have to use Windows 365 for work and must use Outlook. Keep up the great work.

I Like the side by side notebooks. Didn’t know you could do that.

[mohammadmehdiayati]

thank you so much Brandon, I really like this video

When you’re just trying to get better at your job and immediately recognize the person doing the tutorial lives in your hometown. Thanks Branden!

I like the " ? " question option in onenote, but it is only one type of question. Is there any way to create an mcq rather than open ended question?

I usually add the PowerPoint slides on the onenote but unfortunately it usually uploaded in huge size. I kept selecting each slide to size it down because there is no option to select all then size it down. I'm wondering if there is a way to set certain size frame for the uploaded ppt slides. Or any other solution that will help me to keep importing ppt slides in a reasonable size.

Is there a way to connect between similar information across notebooks ? As if i'm mentioning something from another section or another notebook!

How to get a list of plug ins or adds-in for onenote?

[gerardofernandez]

Does this connects with google calendar or similar? When you receive meeting invites, can they be sync to this system? Thanks!

Very good but could be misleading for someone totally new to OneNote. I say this because the newbies don’t realize that your Key2success pdf isn’t really OneNote. This video should really explain this distinction. For the purpose of explaining the use of OneNote you shouldn’t confuse things by using your Key2success. Just a thought.

Great tips! I really like to quick access and lasso tools. Of course I also like that you used an MS Surface for the demo. :) Thanks Brandon!

Thanks for sharing.Do you know how to modify the background of OneNote page?

[johnfhappy]

Thank you realy good video. I have a question could I open OneNote with gmail account?

[erikn]

So where do you get these awesome calendar templates? I tried googling, but nothing seems to come close to the ones you are using, which I like way better than the ones the Google results show me.

I notice you are using the full office version of one note. Windows also has One Note for windows 10 which seems to have much more limited features but a way better less cluttered more touch oriented UI. Do you have a preference?

Morning love your video's but confused on which one to purchase, I have a note 10 plus and Galaxy Tab s7 and will eventually get the fold 4, was thinking about the Samsung notes but I also have a windows version, was wondering if I'm better off using the Samsung notes instead of one note?

[kimberlyguillen]

Sadly I haven't been able to update my Windows to Windows 11😡😡 drivers not updating either. I will try thus to see if I can get this working with what I have available.

New window is a big new idea for me. How do you get a lined page that you can use by typing on the lines? My biggest pet peeve about OneNote is that I almost exclusively use typed text. I NEVER write in it and almost never put attachments in it. I can't find a way to make a stable, uniform page for typing in.

[garydurbin]

I like your digital planner you showed in the video. Is this a program or something you would be willing to share.

[AhmedAli-yezv]

good tips..
how I can share section OR Page with other users.
for example: I want to share a PAGE with my group and everybody can edit on that page.
