Keeping Tabs with Microsoft Note Taking
Looking for a great digital note taking app? Try Microsoft One Note. The app is available for all O365 users as both a personal and business productivity toolset.
Here are some simple, Top Ten tips on how it’s used and how to get started:
- Start with One Notebook – it will help you get organized to share notes with others via their PC, tablet device or phone
- Users don’t have to be using One Note today to share your notes with you
- Other Notebooks can and will be created over time once you “get the hang of it” (family, projects, teams at work)
- Once a Notebook is created, create sections (like tabs in your notebook) for categories (like people that report to you in a team)
- Each category can be secured with a password so only those authorized can see or share your private notes and conversations
- Next create pages (for an example – new pages for each new meeting date) to easily organize discussions (by date)
- You can take notes anywhere on page
- You can insert files, pdf attachments, pictures, to do lists and action items (other objects related to your project or discussion) on your Notebook page
- Search functions are available for “keyword” access across Notebook content
- And, last but not least, Sync your Notebook to One Drive for Cloud Storage
