Getting Started with Microsoft OneNote | M365

OneNote is a digital notebook that automatically backs up to the Microsoft 365 cloud. OneNote
notebooks can be shared with colleagues for real-time collaboration. You may access OneNote
on all devices including Windows PC, Mac, iPhone, and Android.

Access your notes from anywhere


Either open the desktop OneNote app or go to Office.com and log in with your work credentials.
There is also a OneNote app for your mobile device(s) to keep you in sync wherever you go.

Don’t worry about saving


OneNote automatically saves all your changes as you work — so you never have to. Even when
you close the app or your PC goes to sleep, your notes are always saved, so you can continue right
where you left off. To see when OneNote last synced your changes, select File > Info > View Sync
Status.

colleagues (click the [+] at the top of a Team channel.)

Tag important notes


The Tags gallery on the Home tab lets you visually prioritize or categorize selected notes.
Tagged notes are marked with icons that prompt you to follow up on your important action
items or to check off completed tasks on your to-do lists.

select File > Share, and then choose what you want to do.
