What is OneNote?

OneNote is a digital note taking app and will help you stay organised by providing a single place to store research notes, plans and information. It can help you in your strive for a 100% paperless working environment.

The concept is very simple but often critical for business productivity. OneNote is a blank canvas. Take notes anywhere on the page and insert tables, pictures, or files as needed. Use tags to prioritise notes and place them into different categories. The To-Do tag will help you follow your progress on certain tasks and keep you on track. You can share a OneNote file with others with ease to create collaborative workbooks within your Microsoft Teams.
