How To: Use OneNote in Teams (and Keep a Copy)

Every Teams channel can have a shared OneNote notebook for meeting notes, plans, and reference material. Learn how to add one, make more, and keep a copy of what you need.

Add a notebook to a channel

1

Add a tab

In the channel, select + (Add a tab) at the top.

2

Pick OneNote

Choose OneNote, then create a new notebook or pick an existing one.

3

Save

Select Save. The notebook shows up as a tab everyone in the channel can open and edit.

Need more than one? Add another OneNote tab the same way. You can also create notebooks in your own OneDrive for personal notes.

Channel notebooks belong to the team

A notebook in a Teams channel is stored with the team, not in your OneDrive. If you leave the team or leave NCU, you lose access to it.

Keep a copy of notes you need

1

Open it in OneNote

In the notebook tab, select Open in browser or Open in app.

2

Copy the section

Right-click the section you want and select Move or Copy (Copy in the web version).

3

Pick your notebook

Choose a notebook in your own OneDrive and select Copy.

Leaving NCU? Copy notes to a notebook in your own OneDrive first, then download what you need before your access ends.
