One Note

 OneNote is a document sharing platform by Microsoft which is designed for notes and project planning.  It is more complicated than other basic document sharing software such as Google Docs due to OneNote's design as a sort of online notebook.  OneNote allows the users to share and collaborate on multiple documents at the same time.  The notebook like structure of OneNote allows for a hierarchy of documents to be created and organized as the user sees fit.  For example, a user may create a document on a topic then add multiple documents under that one as subtopics or have a document for a project outline with the steps necessary to implement different phases of the project nested underneath.

Creating a Notebook:  To create a notebook the user must go to File select New then choose the location to save the notebook. Next, name the notebook and click create notebook. Upon creating the notebook the user is given the option to invite people which will be covered later.  Once the notebook is created there is a blank document with a title field and space to take notes beneath it. 

Inviting People:  In order to invite other users to your notebook go to File and select share.  Go to the Share with people tab.  You can now enter the email address of who you want to share the notebook with and click the share button to share it with them. 

Expanding the Notebook:  OneNote differs from document sharing software by allowing the user to fully flesh out the notebook with multiple pages and sections.  To add pages to a section click the add page button on the right side of the screen. To add additional sections click the + button to the right of your section tabs. In addition to adding pages you can insert images recordings videos and spreadsheets to the notebook.
