How to use OneNote

Learn how to use OneNote in this step-by-step tutorial video for beginners.

OneNote is a digital notebook that automatically saves and syncs your notes. I cover the following in the video:

- Find out how to get OneNote, whether on Windows 10, on the web, or through your mobile device.
- See how to organize your notebooks, sections, and pages.
- Learn how to create a new notebook.
- Learn various ways to capture notes, including typing notes, sketching, taking photos, dictating text, or recording audio.
- See how to apply styles and formatting.
- Find out how to get back to content by searching for notes or by using tags.
- Learn how to share your notebook to collaborate with others.

As full-disclosure, I work at Microsoft as a full-time employee.

I’ve been using it for about 15 years. At this point, without onenote my life would collapse. Each freelance job I do gets tracked, hours logged, methods saved. Being able to search and pull up code from 10 years ago is super useful. It’s the one MS application I respect.

That was perfect - exactly what I needed. This helped me organize both my class notes, and travel plans. Thanks for your hard work, and for being upfront and honest about your affiliation.

I've been using OneNote about 3 years and I Iove it. I'm getting better at adding new task and exploring all the features. I'm encouraging Mom and friends to start using it to make their lives easier. Thanks for the tips.

My boss suggested One note to use it in the office. Great tutorial. I will pass this along to my coworkers. Thank you so much

Hi Kevin I really like your teaching style and find it much more helpful than other YouTube tutorial videos. I wanted to request that you do a tutorial for beginners on Dropbox and G-suite. I would be most interested and appreciative. Thank you in advance.

Wow this was really informative. I had no idea what One Note did until now. I can't wait to dive right in. The presenter really got down to business and presented the demo of the product. It didn't seem long and boring but I was engaged from beginning to end geeking out from all of the cool features. 😊

I use OneNote saved to OneDrive for my Sunday School, Sermons, and Bible Study. Each is a tab, each tab has a date, each date has sub section. So what I do on my PC I can open at church on my iPad.

Great video as usual. Going to kinda miss the disclosure in future videos. 😉
