The ability to create multiple notebooks and sections keeps everything neatly organized, while the powerful search function ensures that I can always find what I need.

Highly Recommend
Comments: I really very positive experience with OneNote. I utilize mine to house the most important information related to my day to day duties, terminology, contacts, projects, and processes. I love the tab and sub tab capabilities and color coding options.
Pros:
I love that I can take and organize my notes digitally without the fear of losing any information. I also like how OneNote is getting more and more integrated with other applications, for example our newest AI component, Copilot. I love that I can import emails to save to my OneNote or create a table in one note and export it to excel. The application is very user friendly, easy to navogate and customize to my liking.
Cons:
There isn’t much I don’t like. I supposed when I want to format documentation, that can be a little difficult sometimes. However, OneNote is not really made for this so I typically utilize PowerPoint or word to format content (depending on what’s being generated) and then I import it into OneNote.
