Introducing Microsoft 365 Quick Tips 

To help you get the most out of the Microsoft 365 apps you have access to, we’ll be highlighting the different apps and featuring some helpful tips! 

What is OneNote? 

OneNote is a free-form digital note-taking app that allows you to keep all your notes in one place. 

Why should I use OneNote? 

Aside from being more eco-friendly than a physical notebook, OneNote also allows you to:
  • Open everything in a single window - Click through your OneNote notes without opening multiple windows. You can keep content organized by customizing notebooks, sections, and pages.
  • Type, or take notes a different way! - You can take notes by typing, or taking a picture and using OneNote to extract the text. Audio and video note-taking are also options!
  • View your notes from anywhere - Your notes automatically sync and save, so you could start working on one device and continue on another.

How do I access OneNote? 

  • Web browser version: log in with your Laurier credentials at office.com and click on the OneNote icon in the left toolbar.
  • App version: install and log in to the OneNote application on your desktop or mobile device.
