Thank You Andy. I have been using OneNote for a while, and your videos are always anticipated to allow be even more effective with my second brain. Keep up the good work
I started on OneNote in 2014, switching from Infoselect. Before that it was Tornado Notes. I have been paperless since 1980 and it is the only way I can run my life and offices. Now with OneNote plugins our lives are finally integrating!
Love Onetastic! Well worth the upgrade to the paid version of you are a heavy user. The Where Am I breadcrumb navigation adding is really nice to show the full path of a doc to be shared with others too. I do love the calendar option that shows me where I (or others) have edited pages in a shared notebook.
Thanks Andy, so useful and easy to install, the OneCalendar is a game changer, I use multiple notebooks and different ways of inputting from different devices (email, clipping, etc etc) and the Calendar pulls them together. I also have a macro from IFTTT that creates a note when my Google Calender event finishes. 10 out 0f 10. Look forward to trying the other macros some time.

Andy, great review and suggestions as always. One question I have is how to delete duplicate notes. I have moved notebooks and sections to the point where I have some dupes. Are there any tools for that issue?
Hi Andy, excellent videos on OneNote! Wondering if you know whether a workaround exists for inserting checkboxes side-by-side in OneNote. You can do it using a table but the minimum column size is too wide to make it useable and you can't shrink the size of the columns! I've googled extensively and realise that many people are seeking out this functionality. E.g. let's say someone wants to remind themselves to drink a glass of water eight times a day..they would put 'drink water' and then they would want to put eight checkboxes next to it.. is there a way to do that?
Hey thanks for the tips, Andy. I was curious about how you organized your workbooks. I see you have 8 workbooks, 4 each of Projects,Areas, Resources, Archive. Why are there 2 sets of these with different colored icons?
Your videos have been very helpful. I've been having a problem with OneNote desktop app since this past Monday (10/21/24). My notebooks won't sync. A lot of data isn't available in the ON desktop app NBs. The NBs are fully available on the web ON version. The web ON doesn't have the functionality of the ON desktop app, so having the NBs available on the web doesn't help me. This non-syncing problem is a very big issue for me. Do you have any advice on the syncing problem? Thanks.
The idea of macro-based tools is interesting. I wonder why Microsoft never included that feature in OneNote like they've done for decades with other Office products like Excel, Word, Access, even PowerPoint. They've always seemed to treat OneNote like an afterthought though, unfortunately.
Where could be the problem, when I install it and no Add-in in the home ribbon is there? I checked the version, I installed the correct one. Is it true, that Office 365 does not support Add-Ins? Then how are all these videos made?
Yes and No, if you generate TOC in on your Desktop version (365 for me), then they will be on Windows and the links work when using windows on my PC, doesn't work with android app on smartphone. Not tries any of the other macros
Microsoft should be embarrassed that these are not automatically already in the basic software. Styling an optional extra? My goodness! Thanks for explaining all this - but my real question is - why was it necessary in the first place?
Thank you so much for all your work Andy. I have fully embraced using OneNote as my "second brain" and find your videos to be extremely useful.
Me too thanks Andy, I implemented the system about 6 months ago and it’s working really well!

I’ve been a Onenote user for 10 years and have never heard of this add on. Thanks very much, going to download it now.

Thank you Andy. You translate the language of OneNote and Onetastic seamlessly
Andy this add-on is genius, thank you for sharing this videos.
You are a super star!!!

I think if you edit a page a dozen times, it will appear in the cal just on the last date edited

thanks How do you have all of your notebooks listed on the left like that? I would love that. Instead of having to open one notebook at a time.

Hi - I have an entire video explaining this setup. You can watch it here. Thanks. th-cam.com/video/Ig-cL6WStx0/w-d-xo.html

Andy's vedio is most valuable about how he thinks...
I noticed you are using a different version of OneNote. How did you get OneNote 2016 on your computer? Do you have a download link I could use?
Sadly, it is not available for Mac.
Where could be the problem, when I install it and no Add-in in the home ribbon is there? I checked the version, I installed the correct one. Is it true, that Office 365 does not support Add-Ins? Then how are all these videos made?
Do they work in OneNote online? And what is the future of this now that Microsoft wants to move away from macros?
Yes and No, if you generate TOC in on your Desktop version (365 for me), then they will be on Windows and the links work when using windows on my PC, doesn't work with android app on smartphone. Not tries any of the other macros

There is a 'TOC in ALL Notebooks' listed in the full Macro list
Sad there isn't a Mac version of this plugin for OneNote
Wow. Where’s this been hiding
