Microsoft OneNote is a Non-linear form of Microsoft word. A virtual file storage device to organize your data. You can draw anywhere, you can organize whatever is you have in different notebooks, you can basically draw anywhere. Create tabs to categorize your notes, catalog recipes, organize note and it synchronizes your data across different platforms. OneDrive is the main application where all your Microsoft applications reside. For example, say you are working on configuring a network device and all your configuration files are in OneNote application, if your laptop suddenly loses power or shuts down, you can go to Onenote in Office 365 and access your data from a mobile device, from an iOS or Android device. At work, we use OneNote to keep our daily tasks up to date and see what team is assigned tasks related to a project. One of my favorite features is tapping the OneNote badge and take a note anytime without opening the App. Whether is pictures, ideas, and clips. In addition, it lets you draw over other apps, but you will need permission to do so. OneNote is part of the Office365 bundle, and it integrates with Teams App. Teams App is used for our secure intranet chat and exchange files which are the link to OneNote. Teams app allows you to upload pictures and option to react with a like, love, thumbs up, surprised or dislike emoji, as well edit your chat or delete it; these are basic and few reactions yet it is effective for professional communication. With the OneNote Web clipper, you can capture any webpage, and edit, annotate or share with your colleagues. For example, when there are bugs in a program or new features from other applications that we use, we can clip only the article, or product information, from here you can add text, direct it where you like to save it to and bookmark it as well. You will have to download the web browser extension but is totally worth it. Another cool feature from the mobile is the sticky note feature which I use religiously, it allows me to take pictures, change fonts, bullet points and share them. To reorder tabs, you can drag and drop and change the color of them also. When copying a text, just like Word, it gives you the option to keep Source Formatting, Match Formatting, or simply Keep Text Only. I mainly use this App for all of our Infrastructure Team Notes, which includes several tabs, for example, Meeting notes, Site Information (for Hospital and clinics throughout our County), Group Policy, Projects, Data Centers, Purchasing, Processes, Active Directory, Rack layout and much more useful information readily available in my mobile device. The three recommendations for improvements are, to password protect notes within your mobile app, the second is to see tabs like in the desktop application, and the third is to be able to have navigation options from the ribbon, for example, the Home, Insert, Draw and View ribbons. The mobile app is limited what you can do compare to the desktop app, yet all the work you do in the Desktop App syncs with your mobile app, including pictures, PDF, Excel files and Video.
