What You Can Put Inside Notes

Beyond typed text, OneNote supports many types of content so your notes can be rich and multifunctional. Exact capabilities depend on the platform and device you’re using.

• Track and review revisions made by collaborators
• Insert spreadsheets or tables directly into pages
• Scan documents or add images from a camera
• Record audio and video clips
• Sketch or write freehand with pen and touch

How Notes Are Structured

OneNote uses a clear, layered organization so you can navigate large amounts of information easily. At the top level are notebooks. Inside a notebook you can create section groups, which contain individual sections. Each section holds multiple pages where the actual notes live. This hierarchy makes it simple to keep topics and projects separated while remaining searchable and browsable.

Example: Organizing Sales Notes

If you were tracking sales activity, you might set up your notebook like this:

• Notebook: Sales Team
• Section groups: One per salesperson
• Sections: Customer accounts for each rep
• Pages: Individual notes about interactions, performance figures, and relevant links

This setup helps you drill down from a broad overview to specific customer conversations and sales data.
