Take notes or draw with OneNote

Jot a quick note or sketch in OneNote

Need to jot down a thought, or sketch something quickly before you lose the inspiration? Click the

top button on Surface Pen even when Surface is locked, and you can jot a note or sketch immediately.

Use Surface Pen and OneNote to keep track of all your notes and sketches.

Note When Surface is locked, you can only use the pen’s top button. The eraser and right-click buttons won’t

work until after you unlock Surface by signing in. When Surface is unlocked, all three buttons are available for

use.

Using OneNote with Surface Pen

If you want to do more than take a quick handwritten note, unlock Surface. When you do, you’ll get the full

functionality of OneNote. For example, you can see all of your notes in your OneNote notebook.

Here’s how:

1. Click the top button on Surface Pen.

2. Tap Unlock🔓 (upper-left corner), and sign in to Surface (you may want to set up a PIN for quick sign in).
