Why Use OneNote?

Take notes and track to-do items through OneNote, from your desktop or online.

OneNote, this month’s O365 application feature, is your very own digital notebook. It lets you create, edit and share OneNote notebooks from your desktop or any device with an internet connection. Take notes, track to-do items and work with other people at the same time.

According to SharePointMaven.com, OneNote is a standout Microsoft tool for six reasons:


  1. Familiar Interface: It has the same look as all of the other Microsoft Office tools like Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
  2. Logical Hierarchy: OneNote follows a paper notebook approach for organizing and storing notes electronically with the creation of pages and sections.
  3. Part of SharePoint Sites and O365 Groups: It’s part of other O365 apps by default, so it’s easily accessible for notetaking while working in other programs.
  4. Integration with Outlook: Easily pull information from Outlook to add details to OneNote or embed notes from OneNote into appointments and meetings with the click of a button.
  5. Mobile-friendly: Just like all the other O365 programs, there’s an app version that makes it easy to access OneNote from anywhere, anytime.
  6. Online Editing: OneNote can be accessed via the desktop application and the online app to create notebooks or edit existing notebooks on-the-go.
