projects,

00:00:07

and ideas wherever you are.

00:00:10

In this video

00:00:11

we'll learn how to create your first notebook,

00:00:14

add sections,

00:00:16

and create pages to structure your content effectively.

00:00:20

To make everything clearer,

00:00:22

we'll use a real example,

00:00:24

taking notes during a product launch meeting.

00:00:28

This scenario will help you understand how to organize information

00:00:32

so you can easily find and update it later.

00:00:36

From the main menu,

00:00:37

tap the icon or button that allows you to create a new notebook.

00:00:41

Give it a clear and meaningful name so you can easily identify it later.

00:00:46

In our example,

00:00:47

we'll name the notebook Product launch meeting.

00:00:51

If multiple Microsoft accounts are signed in on your device,

00:00:55

the app will ask which account you want to use to save the notebook.

00:01:00

Unlike the desktop version,

00:01:02

OneNote on mobile doesn't yet allow choosing

00:01:04

a specific folder location on OneDrive.

00:01:08

Once your notebook is created,

00:01:10

it syncs automatically with your Microsoft account.

00:01:14

You can then access it on your computer or on OneNote for the web

00:01:18

without doing anything else.

00:01:21

Now that your notebook is ready,

00:01:23

it's time to add sections to organize your information.

00:01:27

A section works like a chapter or main category inside your notebook

00:01:31

for our product launch meeting you might create one section for the meeting notes.

00:01:37

Another for decisions,

00:01:39

another for action items,

00:01:41

and one more for shared documents.

00:01:44

Each section helps separate information by type

00:01:48

and prevents everything from getting mixed together.

00:01:51

If you want to rename a section,

00:01:54

press and hold it until a menu appears,

00:01:57

then tap the rename button in the top right corner.

00:02:01

On the mobile version,

00:02:02

you can't change section colors yet,

00:02:05

but you can reorder them based on your needs.

00:02:09

Each section contains a blank page by default,

00:02:13

but you can add as many pages as you need.

00:02:16

Every page represents an individual note.

00:02:19

To create a new page,

00:02:21

open the section you want

00:02:23

and tap the page button.

00:02:25

A blank page will appear with a title field at the top.

00:02:28

Enter a clear title,

00:02:30

for example,

00:02:31

agenda

00:02:33

November 7th meeting.

00:02:36

Naming your pages clearly is a good habit,

00:02:39

as it makes searching and browsing your notes much easier later on.

00:02:44

Once the title is added,

00:02:46

you can begin writing your notes,

00:02:48

documenting the discussion,

00:02:50

or summarizing the key points covered during the meeting.

00:02:54

If you need to move a page to a different section,

00:02:58

press and hold the page until the connoisse menu appears.

00:03:03

Select copy,

00:03:04

choose the target section or notebook,

00:03:07

then confirm.

00:03:09

If you prefer to keep the original page and create a duplicate,

00:03:13

enable to create a copy option

00:03:16

before confirming.

00:03:18

This feature is especially useful when reusing a page template

00:03:23

or duplicating a note without altering the original.

00:03:26

You can also reorder your pages by dragging

00:03:29

them to the desired position within the list.

00:03:33

In this tutorial,

00:03:34

you learned how to create a notebook,

00:03:36

add sections,

00:03:37

and insert pages to organize your notes clearly

00:03:40

and logically in one note on Android.
