Recipients will not be able to edit these notes. Microsoft removed the functionality to share individual notes, so you can share an entire notebook directly with people in your organisation, or send a frozen in time copy of an individual page.

At the end of the Home tab there is the function to share via email, automatically embedding your notes into the email client. If your colleague needs to know what occurred in the meeting but doesn’t have OneNote this isn’t a problem. Just type in the equation, press equals (=) and then hit the space bar and it will be worked out for you. You no longer have to bring up a calculator app when in meetings because you can do calculations directly from OneNote. Just go into the Insert tab and choose audio. If you would rather concentrate on your meeting than making notes, OneNote also has the ability to record audio, so you’re always able to know exactly what was said however much you get caught up in the conversation.

And if you’d like to change the colour of the page, you can! To the left select Page Color and select your colour of choice. You can also have no distractions here by choosing full page view or keeping your notes open while you browse the web with Dock to Desktop. All you have to do is go into the View tab and select Rule Lines. Here you can give the page grid lines or squares. The standard view with OneNote is a blank white page that can seem a little bland and uninviting to some people and it can be easily changed if you wish. We’ll be using the desktop application for Windows 10 to demonstrate. It has a lot of little functions to make life easier. To edit any pages, you’ll do so from one of the four tabs lining the top of every Notebook.If you haven’t already started using OneNote, the note taking application that comes with Microsoft 365 then we really recommend it. Need to scribble a few additions on top of someone’s grocery list? OneNote is tablet and stylus compatible, or you can even use your mouse if you’re feeling particularly artistic.

If you want to overlay images on top of text, OneNote won’t stop you. While on the surface this may sound a tad overwhelming, once you start digging into OneNote it all starts to flow together seamlessly, and makes for an extensive note-taking app that doesn’t leave any stone unturned when it comes to packing as many features into one program as possible.
