Many notebooks, all in OneNote

You can create as many notebooks as you need in OneNote. Use sections, pages, and tags to make things easy

to find.

Send a page or share a notebook

Open the Share charm to email the notebook page you’re viewing. Or, to get a link to an entire notebook that

you can paste into an email or file, tap and hold or right-click the notebook in your list of notebooks to open the

app commands. Then, tap or click Copy Link to Notebook at the bottom of the screen.

What others see when you share depends on the settings you’ve used on the OneDrive folder your notebook is

in. For more info, see Share files and folders and change permissions on Windows.com.

Don’t want to share? Your notebooks are private unless you decide to share them.

Collaborate using OneNote (desktop) app

OneNote (desktop) offers more ways to share, including group notebooks that a group of people can use to

collaborate. You can even work together in a group notebook that everyone shares during a meeting. Learn more

by watching the video Share your notebook on Office.com.

Use radial menus to display OneNote commands

While you’re working in OneNote, you’ll notice round icons appearing in your notes. For example:

These icons show up whenever you tap notes or objects on a page, select text, or pictures, or do other things in

your notebook. When you tap these types of icons, a radial menu appears showing you a wheel of commands

that are based on whatever you’re working on or whatever you currently have selected.

The commands on these menus can change, depending on what you’re currently doing. For more info on the

radial menu, see Use radial menus to display OneNote commands on Office.com.
