What is Microsoft OneNote?
OneNote is a multi-purpose digital notebook, allowing you to collate words, pictures, audio and video into a singe place, which can be private, or shared and edited by several users simultaneously. Additional functionality includes screen grab and optical character recognition. A OneNote document can
comprise a single page, a group of pages (called a section) or multiple sections.
You can use OneNote via a browser, as part of your Office 365 licence, or download the full Microsoft OneNote software package to a PC, Mac or mobile device, so you and your colleagues are able to read and add to your documents at all times.
With OneNote, you can:
- Type notes or record audio at your laptop.
- Sketch or write ideas on your tablet.
- Add picture from your phone.
- Find notes instantly.
- Freely move notes around the page.
- Organise those pages into sections.
- Keep your sections in one or more notebooks.
- Switch devices and pick up right where you left off.
- Share your notebooks with others so you can all view and contribute at the same time.
Why use OneNote?
OneNote is an extremely powerful tool which can be used as a repository of files, a project document or a training guide.
