Are they going to get rid of one note now that loop came out? I am starting a new note collection and I love onenote, but dont want to start using it if they are going to get rid of it.
Whow Lea, the first tip is directly so powerful. Copy text from picture, I mean. That is a lifesaver which I did not know. As I use Mac at home, and windows at my college where I teach, this was directly a powerful tip. We use onenote as a team in combination with Teams so often! Also the Page Setup is very helpful! Tags is always so handy. I use it in my mac now and then to find a file very fast. (You can tag files in Mac) I am going to use it in Onenote on College too now. Today I will insert a cup of coffee to my comment. And hey, as a Math teacher, Math is never boring but writing is indeed. :) Thank you so much, Patrick. (The learning architect, eh teacher 🙃)
Hi Patrick, thank you so much! Glad you could learn something new which hopefully saves you a lot of time and makes it easier and maybe even a bit more fun to work with OneNote in the future. Glad to hear you are using it at work so it hopefully, has a direct impact on the way you and your colleagues are working :) Have a nice start of the week and all the best, Lea
I love the feature that creates a hyperlink to a brand new page - great for creating the ToC whilst setting up the pages. Just type the name of page you want between double square brackets [[name of page to be created]] . Even more powerful if you’ve already decided on or created a template to be automatically applied for the pages you are creating.
@@ccbarr58 .. Thanks, you know what the issue is. I was Evernote for around 15 years (maybe more if possible) but just been priced out by the new tariffs. I have an Office 365 account so may as well make the most of it. Also I've noticed that MS Loop is also pretty good. In fact may be better than OneNote actually with how it is laid out.
I did not know that you could link your OneNote tasks to Outlook. To me, that's helpful to keep my action items in one place. Thanks you, Lea! Also, I would love to hear your take on how OneNote could work in conjunction (or against) Microsoft Loop in the future. Thanks again!
Hi Abraham, thanks for your feedback and question. Unfortunately, so far, I have not used Loop extensively, so I cannot fully see its applicability. But my first impression is that it seems as if MS tried to create a competitor to Notion and the likes. The advantages (and where I could see Loop to complement OneNote) is that it's sharable with many and can be live edited (I myself always found it a bit tedious to share documents in OneNote). So you might want to think of Loop as the more collaborative tool vs. OneNote rather for personal notes. But who know how the tools will further develop.. Best, Lea
Great video, @@LeaDavid. Thank you. FYI, I too would be very interested in seeing you do a deep dive on the differences and applicability of One Note vs. Loop.
5:09 when you copy a link to paragraph, you don’t necessarily have to type text and then “add link “. You can just paste the link you copied anywhere else and it will automatically use the text from where you copied. Sometimes that might not be what you want, but for me a lot of times it is
Hi, As I use a MacBook I think that some tips are not working... Tge available options on the top menu are much less... Why would it happen? Shall I choose another option or way of using it? Thank you in advance! Kind Regards!
Hi Lea, many thanks for such a great tutorial, very informative with the highest production values, I am curious to know what tool you used in the post-production of this video? I love the transitions pretty smooth and easy on the eyes, well done.
Is there a way to copy a page in OneNtote muiple times? I have template pages and I need to make hundreds of copies. I have been right clicking and selecting where I want it and hitting copy. But doing it one at a time. Is there a way to do this 10's or 100's of times easily?
Hi Anne, I have not come across a solution to copy a template so many times at once. Not sure if it's viable to save the page as a template (as I describe in the video) and do it that way? Best, Lea
That vertical tab layout tip is really good! I had to change language to English though. Used Swedish before and there I didn't get the option of vertical tabs at all. Cheers!
What version of OneNote is that? I seem to be missing the sort pages feature in Microsoft® OneNote® LTSC MSO (16.0.14332.20649) 64-bit (Microsoft Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021)
How do I disable all horizontal scrolling in Onenote so that the text just wraps around on my phone? Other notes apps can have big wide pages on the PC but then when synced to the phone just text wrap automatically around the size of the phone. I know some people want the OPTION of a great big drawing space or something on their phone - but I just want stable reading as I scan down the page - and don’t want it to wobble side to side like it’s drunk!
I was excited to find your video. I recently started to use OneNote, and I've been trying to learn how to use it. However, I could not follow your instructions because you are speaking at perhaps a normally fast conversational speed, and I am not that fast in comprehending. I know I could keep pausing the video. I'm not good at learning that way. How do you expect your audience, who is learning this, to follow you? Is there a method you have in mind here?
Thanks for your feedback and question. I try to speak and teach at an average pace so that beginners as well as a bit more advanced users can follow. However, if that's not the case there are two things you can do: 1. Pause and/or rewatch segments of the video, 2. Change the settings via the little gear icon and play the video at 0.75 or 0.5 speed. Best, Lea
Hi, I know this is a bit off topic. But I wanted to ask what I should do about my downloads folder. I have lots of files in there and I don’t know if I should delete all of them. Should you keep a downloads folder completely or should you keep files in it? I’m not sure what’s a good way to manage it. Thank you!!
Spoken as a digital kid and a college student, yeah, clear out your downloads folder. My two best tips for computer organization are 1) don't ever let your browser download automatically, always make it ask you where to save it or even if you want to save it, and 2) Folders are your best friend. I personally don't use my downloads folder: if i'm downloading something I want it for something and I put it in a relevant folder. I have a folder for finances, semester (with subfolders for classes), professional, projects/hobbies, personal documents, and subfolders in every single one further sorting things. My general rule is if I have more than 3 items related to a topic, it gets a folder. They're free and don't take up a lot of space so highly worth the ability to find anything. I do the same thing with my pictures and videos and music. On a related note, you can do the same thing with your gmail using labels. labels can be nested under each other, which is phenomenal for cleaning out an inbox. My personal inbox has a grand total of 4 emails in it right now, all of which I've dealt with and am waiting on replies for. My School account has i think 11, again all dealt with, just waiting till they aren't needed on a semi-daily basis, and My work account has 2, both waiting on replies.
Thanks for answering, Catherine! I really like what you said and can only second to save the files you need/have downloaded at their dedicated space and clean the rest on a regular basis to keep your computer clutter free. Best, Lea
Hello, I have been trying to use Subpages and in my system those choices are grayed out and the keystrokes do not work. Do you have any idea as to why? Thank you EDIT: because another poster said somethings don't work in Win10 I opened Notebook online and subpages are available and show up on W10. A pain but ...
Question: in previous versions of Microsoft, I could make changes to a specific file and then rename it. For instance, an inventory list. I could rename it with new date and continue. If I do that here, do I still have the old file?
Hi.. Problem with Ruler Lines is that when you start type text, it will not stay within the lines but would follow its own format which at times is really annoying and thats the reason I moved to Notion. Do you've a solution for that? thank you :)
Hi, Very use full for me. But the way you presented the video and edited it is marvelous. Can you please reveal the software you used to make this fine video.
Many of the options shown here are not available in the versions of OneNote that I know (Mac and PC): insert spreadsheet / template pages // link to pages from a list. What version is the one shown in the video?
Is microsoft planning to renew Onenote? or are they just going to let it die. I love the layout of onenote. I've tried loads and this is perfect for me.
Hi there, I believe Microsoft will not let OneNote die! Great to hear that you love the layout and stay tuned, there will be more functionalities rolled out over time :)
Nice presentation and good tips. For collaboration, project management and task list, i'm using more and more MS Loop, i find it like OneNote on steriods, but lacking some abilities. So i'm slowly moving away from OneNote. Did you do some experiment with MS Loop ? I'm looking foward for your videos on Loop.
I like your video very much but they are soooo many information inside. It is impossible to memory all of them :-) Your know how about the tool is great. I am happy you share this with us. Only an Idea: Maybe it could be senseful to work in youtube videos with chapters. e.g. : Chapter one: Basics and Layout. Chapter two: Creating links and hyperlinks : Chapter three inserting videos and pdf files with text finding... But this is talking on a highest level. Your video is great and the light ambient is great as well. This is a whole perfect Ice cream sundae with cream and chocolate chips..... and the chapters would be the cherry on top ;-) So each person could click direct to the main points.
Hi, I know this is a bit off topic. But I wanted to ask what I should do about my downloads folder. I have lots of files in there and I don’t know if I should delete all of them. Should you keep a downloads folder completely or should you keep files in it? I’m not sure what’s a good way to manage it. Thank you!!
Hi! In my opinion, it's best practice to move all of the files you need out of the downloads folder and save it in the target folder. Leave the ones you don't need permanently or just for the moment in the downloads folder. Then, once in a while, you should empty the downloads folder since its just taking space. Hope this helps, Lea
Hi there, thanks for your feedback. Not exactly sure what you mean but sure, you can share all of your notes by clicking on the share button on the top right. Hope this helps, Lea
Great overview of one note,, Question, the new one note is not a great layout, the old version had tabs at the top. Is there a way to revert to the old version
Hi, I believe that's not possible. However, you could use the workaround and put your picture inside a 1x1 table and then change the borders of the table. Best, Lea
Timestamps would really help and allow for the accessibility of your content. I would really like to watch more of your content, but I cannot invest 11 minutes here and there to learn what I might know already, respectively jumping to the interesting parts only. Timestamps also build the outline of your content. I would be happy if you could consider offering them.
Hi George, I must admit I have just used Evernote for a short period of time quite a while ago so I cannot really comment. I have been using OneNote at work which I find good. Feel free to try both for a week or so and then decide for yourself. Best, Lea
@@LeaDavid I am using all these three for many years OneNote is best for work Evernote has many limitation without subscription, and it repeatedly ask for subscription Notion is best free to use powerful tool, it has all features at all platforms.
Great video! I love OneNote for two other things: 1. Making Mood Boards - combining photos of my own wardrobe items, garden design or home furnishings with screen clippings of paint colors, fixtures, finishes I’m considering has really helped me to curate my wardrobe and home refresh projects!!! I keep a few head-only shots of myself to try on different outfits as well as silhouette analysis. Just pairing the head with different outfits is often enough for me to happily reject ideas, and see what vibes the way I like! Pictures of my home from a distance allow my to “try on” different plants, foliage, flowers, pots, path materials, etc. (helps to know what is hardy in your area, first). Wish I’d done this from the start, it would have saved me some money! 2) Digital and Printable planner pages! PRINTABLE - The ability to use tables -and especially tables WITHIN tables - and the auto fill feature to create headings - can create stunning printable planner pages. Undated, dated (I make templates for months that start on different days of the week to simplify this), weekly dashboards and time blocking spreads for weeks and individual days, whatever I need. You can decorate pages as well, but my preference is to focus on a minimal look with the fonts I love. (Thank you, Planner Annie!) DIGITALLY, I love using your hyperlink tip. The design of the pages is more flexible/adjustable as needs/interests change. Some have all my favorite educational sites, or links to financial institutions and places we have customer accounts, or what is needed for work or business - all on one (or a few) main dashboard(s). I still love and use OneNote 2010 offline - I love how it prints out my “summary” view for all the areas and projects I keep up with that don’t require online input. I don’t see this feature on the new (free) OneNote. By only putting a tag onto the first 1-2 next actions of each “project” (and checking the Box for hiding previously accomplished tasks), I get wonderful printed lists of what is available for me to do next. The big trick here is to use naming conventions and grouping tasks within sections and/or notebooks for summarizing and printing by “title” (aka title of page) to achieve a nice bold font topic followed by your tagged tasks (which alphabetize themselves no matter what, 🤣.) Excellent for lists of agreements with or prayer requests for people (as page titles) sorted by name. I’ve also done this for low-level project management using self-ordering naming conventions. The available “pretty” templates are meh, but there are a few that feel inspiring. And - wait for it - They can be printed to CUSTOM SIZES to match your paper planner! It even had a dedicated Happy Planner Classic size! Half letter, A5 etc. With ring or discbound planners it is quick and easy to print, scribble updates on the go, and update/reprint when ready. I don’t use premium paper for these, and often use scratch paper I’ve cut down to size. It is SO nice to have a sense of order on paper during power outages (here in the land of hurricanes and poor grid management).
Been using OneNote for nearly 15 years, on Windows, iPhone, Android, and Mac. TBH honest I'm a bit fed up with it. Microsoft is letting it die it seems, without any real updates in years. The iPhone version especially is compeltely outdated. You can't even insert a table, or even change the text style to header etc. Have sent them messages for years, every year, in hope they would do something. Was the biggest OneNote fan, you can't even imagine how many notes I have in there. Now I'm leaving, trying out all the alternatives.
Hi Jonas! I can feel your pain. Especially compared to other note taking tools that have recently gained popoularity, OneNote is a bit outdated. However, oftentimes in a corporate environment you don't really have a choice... Hope you find something that fits your needs better. Lea
Looks like MS is leaning into Microsoft Loop. Loop is Microsoft's answer to Notion. Microsoft would do well to create a migration tool to help their One Note users migrate to Loop without losing all their work.
OneNote absolutely allows you to enter a table, it’s an extremely powerful tool. I suspect you are not using the full version of OneNote and instead are using the free version. That, I will agree is not great.

How do you get the 'old style' full ribbon toolbar in latest OneNote (O365 desktop version) ? I strongly dislike the new smaller toolbar ribbon.
One the home tab click on the down arrow on the ribbon and under “ribbon layout” select “classic ribbon”. Hope that answers your question!

Hi, can you reach out via mail please? Thanks
I feel like these tips are for the Windows Store version, which will be discontinued soon?
Hi, not sure what you mean by Windows Store version? It's the standard OneNote app that is part e.g. of MS365
@@LeaDavid Okay weird. I have OneNote for Office 365 and my menus aren't in the same places as yours.
Why does my onecalendar not have the tabs layout??? really dont like the vertical view
😕
I like your grey on grey color scheme. How did you do that?

You are welcome :)
Good info, but can you please go slowly so we can do the same steps ? Also, subscribed.
Thanks Valentin! Noted your feedback but in the meantime, you can set the playback speed to 0.5 or so if you would like 👍
Thanks!!!
You are welcome!
I don't have this option "copy text from picture". I am on MacOS.
Hi Franck, sorry to say that there are qiute a few functions that don't work for Mac.
Please add chapters in your videos, Thanks and love from India
I will try my best! Thanks, Rishabh!
Can you please tell me how to create space between a tag and the text next to it?
Just typing space does not work?
@@LeaDavid Yes, but when there's a long list, I was hoping it would automatically indent the space when I press enter for the next line.
Is there a way to put a border around a picture?
Hi, I believe that's not possible. However, you could use the workaround and put your picture inside a 1x1 table and then change the borders of the table. Best, Lea
It's a shame that so many of these features are not available in the Mac version of OneNote.
Indeed, that's a pity :/
My number 2 reason I am moving off the Mac. I can’t handle the missing office features
How to add the sticky note?
Does anybody know the maximum file size of a notebook?
I believe I have read something around 2MB bit maybe someone from the community can help?
Someone please just tell me how i remove date/clock everytime i make a new page, takes up too much space :)
Timestamps would really help and allow for the accessibility of your content. I would really like to watch more of your content, but I cannot invest 11 minutes here and there to learn what I might know already, respectively jumping to the interesting parts only.
Timestamps also build the outline of your content. I would be happy if you could consider offering them.
Thanks for your feedback. Will try to include them going forward!
Can I scan music score to PDF?
Not sure what you mean by that?
Which one is better Evernote or OneNote?
Hi George, I must admit I have just used Evernote for a short period of time quite a while ago so I cannot really comment. I have been using OneNote at work which I find good. Feel free to try both for a week or so and then decide for yourself. Best, Lea
@@LeaDavid I am using all these three for many years
OneNote is best for work
Evernote has many limitation without subscription, and it repeatedly ask for subscription
Notion is best free to use powerful tool, it has all features at all platforms.
Great video! I love OneNote for two other things:
1. Making Mood Boards - combining photos of my own wardrobe items, garden design or home furnishings with screen clippings of paint colors, fixtures, finishes I’m considering has really helped me to curate my wardrobe and home refresh projects!!! I keep a few head-only shots of myself to try on different outfits as well as silhouette analysis. Just pairing the head with different outfits is often enough for me to happily reject ideas, and see what vibes the way I like! Pictures of my home from a distance allow my to “try on” different plants, foliage, flowers, pots, path materials, etc. (helps to know what is hardy in your area, first). Wish I’d done this from the start, it would have saved me some money!
2) Digital and Printable planner pages! PRINTABLE - The ability to use tables -and especially tables WITHIN tables - and the auto fill feature to create headings - can create stunning printable planner pages. Undated, dated (I make templates for months that start on different days of the week to simplify this), weekly dashboards and time blocking spreads for weeks and individual days, whatever I need. You can decorate pages as well, but my preference is to focus on a minimal look with the fonts I love. (Thank you, Planner Annie!)
DIGITALLY, I love using your hyperlink tip. The design of the pages is more flexible/adjustable as needs/interests change. Some have all my favorite educational sites, or links to financial institutions and places we have customer accounts, or what is needed for work or business - all on one (or a few) main dashboard(s).
I still love and use OneNote 2010 offline - I love how it prints out my “summary” view for all the areas and projects I keep up with that don’t require online input. I don’t see this feature on the new (free) OneNote. By only putting a tag onto the first 1-2 next actions of each “project” (and checking the Box for hiding previously accomplished tasks), I get wonderful printed lists of what is available for me to do next. The big trick here is to use naming conventions and grouping tasks within sections and/or notebooks for summarizing and printing by “title” (aka title of page) to achieve a nice bold font topic followed by your tagged tasks (which alphabetize themselves no matter what, 🤣.) Excellent for lists of agreements with or prayer requests for people (as page titles) sorted by name. I’ve also done this for low-level project management using self-ordering naming conventions. The available “pretty” templates are meh, but there are a few that feel inspiring.
And - wait for it - They can be printed to CUSTOM SIZES to match your paper planner! It even had a dedicated Happy Planner Classic size! Half letter, A5 etc.
With ring or discbound planners it is quick and easy to print, scribble updates on the go, and update/reprint when ready. I don’t use premium paper for these, and often use scratch paper I’ve cut down to size. It is SO nice to have a sense of order on paper during power outages (here in the land of hurricanes and poor grid management).
Been using OneNote for nearly 15 years, on Windows, iPhone, Android, and Mac.
TBH honest I'm a bit fed up with it. Microsoft is letting it die it seems, without any real updates in years. The iPhone version especially is compeltely outdated. You can't even insert a table, or even change the text style to header etc. Have sent them messages for years, every year, in hope they would do something. Was the biggest OneNote fan, you can't even imagine how many notes I have in there. Now I'm leaving, trying out all the alternatives.
Hi Jonas! I can feel your pain. Especially compared to other note taking tools that have recently gained popoularity, OneNote is a bit outdated. However, oftentimes in a corporate environment you don't really have a choice... Hope you find something that fits your needs better. Lea
Looks like MS is leaning into Microsoft Loop. Loop is Microsoft's answer to Notion. Microsoft would do well to create a migration tool to help their One Note users migrate to Loop without losing all their work.
Hervorragend
Thanks so much!

Lea's voice is so wonderful and she is so beautiful. I love her charisma & vibrancy. She's my kind a woman.
Thanks!
You're most welcome!@@LeaDavid 🌷🌺🌻
...and most importantly, she's well-versed in Microsoft Office...
Wow!!!🤯 @@KubilayErtuna

What do you mean exactly?
OneNote Windows 10 you can’t do this stuff. Helpful if you state what VERSION you are using.
Thanks for the feedback!
if only OneNote for Mac had the same features :(
Agree! A pity that this isn't the case..
I do not use oneNote because its mobile app is not powerful enough. Even it does not allow to insert a table
Hi Rishabh! Thanks for sharing your view. Indeed, OneNote also has some drawbacks.. Best, Lea
I use MS365 and am able to insert a table on ipad.
OneNote absolutely allows you to enter a table, it’s an extremely powerful tool. I suspect you are not using the full version of OneNote and instead are using the free version. That, I will agree is not great.
I will say that in the wrong hands these tools can facilitate enough busywork to keep an entire department engaged in the theatre of productivity.
In the wrong hands that may be the case
Thank you Lea
You are welcome, Zmary!
👍
Onenote can transcribe?!
Indeed it can!
I like blank pages. I think it is more irritating with this infinate space! I need one page, one paper. Not an infinate sea of place to write.
Thanks for sharing! Can completely understand you!
@@LeaDavid Any advice on how to tackle it? Can I frame in a page so it is smaller?
Unfortunately onenote on phone isn't this advanced

As most YTs you go too fast in showing what you are saying. Slow down!
Thanks for sharing. Will consider this in the future.
This is frustrating. Can't delete , can't move or correct. Pretty much useless
Not sure why you can't do all of that in OneNote?!
