Because OneNote notebooks are stored in the cloud (on SkyDrive), you can add and edit notes from either app,
or from your phone. The first time you start OneNote you might be prompted for your Microsoft account.
Using the OneNote app
Here’s how to do some things in the free OneNote app (installed from the Windows Store):
Task
What to do
Format text
Select the text in a note and tap or click the A icon. This brings up a
radial menu of options.
Find a note
Open the Search charm and type what you’re looking for.
Handwrite notes
Use the Surface pen to handwrite notes.
Share with OneNote
Use the Share charm or Send to OneNote to create notes.
For example, you can select text on a webpage in Internet Explorer,
open the Share charm, and choose OneNote.
Quick access to a page
Pin a page to the Start screen so you can open it quickly. In OneNote,
tap and hold a page for a couple seconds, then let go and tap Pin to
Start.
How do I …
Open the Settings charm and then tap or click Help.
OneNote on your phone
You can also use OneNote on your phone to take and access your notes on the go.
