Essential watching for anyone getting into OneNote. I think understanding the hierarchy is essential before you dive into One Note, I learnt the hard way and created a mess when I first started and was big job rightling that. Having had this great presentation at the time would have been most helpful. I do add that creating a new notebook creates a new file on your system and working between notebooks is not as easy as working within a notebook and there is plenty of hierarchy within a notebook. My advice is to only create a new notebook when there is really good reason to do so and there is a complete distinction with other notebooks such as business or school and personal.
This is the kind of info I've been trying to find. I'm a new user and most of the tutorials are on using the functions but there's not much on the actual organizational structure from a usability standpoint.
This was a great comment, I am learning about using OneNote but do not want to create a new system for myself that is so time-intensive that I become a slave maintaining my lists instead of keeping things minimalist-enough that I can keep moving with my actual projects.
Section groups and page groups blew my mind!! I’m about to be even more organized! Thank you!!
Your method of explaining is so v.good. I will watch the rest of your videos, and use OneNote for journaling. Appreciate your hard work. Thankyou
Thank you Andy, I appreciate the slowness in speaking and explaining, I really learned from this video, I have seen other videos but they speak so fast that I get lost, once again Thank you!!..
The best video tutorial I have watched on one note. I got lots of clarity from it.Thanks a lot.
Thanks for explaining! I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I must say that you explain the subject plain and simple for everyone to understand and are able to use relevant examples. Many thanks!
Just subscribed - your videos are the most succinct and informative. You never waste time and just gets to the key points. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much, I was using OneNote for college for a while and I learned a lot
Best beginners guide video. Short and to the point with examples that people would actually use in their life not too complex like some Notion videos out there
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you, clear and well presented.
Thanks Andy, much appreciated.
Very structured guide. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this. I'm gonna check the playlist later but this alone has already helped me organize my TTRPG idea notes. You deserve a lot more likes and subscribers
I keep my brains in OneNote, especially at work. Never used the vertical section view but am going to try it today.
The iPad app displays this way, though. I just use it occasionally with my personal notebooks. It's not completely foreign.
Thanks for the tutorial! Even a decade-long regular user learned something new!
Thanks Andy, simple and beautifully executed. Will follow up with more tutorials on OneNote. 🌟
Great examples and easy to follow. I had to self-learn how to use OneNote a few years ago when starting university as a matured aged student. Another suggestion for students is for each notebook per class, creat sections for weeks 1 through to 10 or 12 and also for projects 1, 2&3; and within each weekly section create pages as you need to for each PDF, PowerPoint slide, zoom meetings, class notes and ideas. Projects usually encompass 3-4 weeks of learning within the university term, and pages for projects may include research, brainstorming, planning and notes towards drafts. The above is because universities in recent years provide their learning resources in weekly increments, usually a different topic each week.
Great tips for students. Thanks for sharing Rebecca!
Molto utile, gradevole e spiegato molto bene. Grazie
Very clear explanation.Thank you
Learned a new trick I didn't know before, thanks!
hey by far the best video for beginners on one note. Nicely explained the hierarchy which is overlooked by most. thanks brother. keep up the good work.
Really useful! grouping sections and pages will help me a lot.
thank you for sharing!
Great work brother. Very clear.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you
Thank you!
thank you Andy
Thank you for the explanation
Excellent presentation. I learned a lot. Thank You
Easy to follow.
Andy,
Thank you for talking about the views; I like the horizontal view better. Even better (for me) would be to have the pages listed on the right side (like I remember).
Helpful. Thank you! There is a typo at 1:25 Notebooks. (Not Notbboks.)
Although I use OneNote regularly, I still learned some things, thanks ! One question I have is : is there a way to backup a OneNote notebook that is currently on Onedrive to for example a local hard drive or another Onedrive ?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 awsm. straight up good stuff
Such a useful video.
Thank you
This is great- thank you! Just a heads up that indenting pages doesn't work if you have them in alphabetical order. You have to remove that, then you can indent and put back in alpha order and the indents hold.
I've been using one note for a long time, and it has made a huge difference in my productivity, largely thanks to your tips, but I always benefit from reminders and getting back to the basics.
I'm using 2016, and I'm not finding the option to change the tab view. May I ask what are using in this video?
Thank you!
Hi - I'm using the latest OneNote app which you can download from the Microsoft Store or using the link here: www.onenote.com/download
Can you link related notes or sections of notes? Maybe headers or something? So you can click and go there directly? How about table of contents?
Thanks for this! Helpful as a newbie. Is there a good way to manage the files themselves? When I save my notebook files to a folder that's synced by OneDrive they save as URLs and are not viewable offline. When I save them in a folder that is not backed up to OneDrive they don't sync across devices and are not backed up. Does Microsoft make us choose between synced files and offline access?
Are section groups possible on iPhone?
I’m struggling to figure out when to use sub Sections vs sub Pages? What are the pros and cons of each?
I am a OneNote user but use Raindrop to organize my bookmarks. What is the best way to use OneNote for bookmark organization so I can get off of Raindrop?
Can you tell me how to trim a picture? In Power Point, Excel and Word its possible.
This is why I use Obsidian which is non hierarchical. I use tags to organize my Obsidian notes. No practical limit to how many tags are in a note.
What a pity the mobile app of OneNote still does not allow making section or page groups
Is there a "dark mode" for OneNote ???
Of course. If you're using the OneNote app for Windows Desktop you can go to VIEW > then SWITCH BACKGROUND. The icon toggles between a crescent moon and the sun.
Thanks 👍
All this is done on the app and not on the web version correct?
Correct. I used the OneNote app for Windows for this tutorial.

Why u stopped note in obsidian
One note is horrible. Quip is way better
Each has their own use cases. Plus since OneNote is included with Office, and any costs are spread across multiple apps, the cost is negligible. Quip and sales force come at premium pricing and deeper learning curve, although a lot more powerful.
