What is OneNote for Business

OneNote is a digital notebook that exists in the Office 365 cloud. Take all of your plans, notes and ideas with you wherever you go. You can share your notes with colleagues to make sure everyone is on the same page. Using apps in both the Android and iPhone marketplaces you can access your notes while on the go!

Mimicking the way you are already used to taking notes, OneNote allows you to be creative with how you take notes.  Touch screen devices allow you to move content around with the touch of a finger.

Benefits

• Access your notes from any device. Changes and updates are automatically saved to your local device and synched to the cloud so you never lose your content.
• Use tagging capabilities to make important notes stand out.
• Rich text formatting allows you to be creative about how you organize your notes. Adding tables and linking concepts together is easy.

2. Adding notes on OneNote is easy! Simply create a Section and Add a Page to get started. Add a title to help find your page later.
