Hello, my name is Shareena, and in these lessons you will learn how to get started using Microsoft 365's OneNote. In this lesson, we will start by learning how to create a new notebook and open an existing one. To get started, you will need to be logged into your Microsoft 365's account. And you will notice on the left-hand side all of the applications that you have available to you. If you do not see one note listed, but you do have three dots that are showing, simply click the three dots to get another list of applications that are available to you. So we will go ahead and click on one note. The application will open in a new tab and you will notice you have a new button, which will allow you to create a new notebook. A Manage and Delete button, which will take you to your OneDrive and allow you to manage all of your files saved there. And you also have a list of existing OneNote notebooks in the middle that you can click and open to edit those. For now, we will click the new button. Once the Create New Notebook dialog box is open, we will give our notebook a name. You can click the Create button or simply click Enter to create our new notebook. Once the new notebook is created, you will notice the title of our notebook and an arrow. If you click the arrow, this gives you the location of where your OneNote notebook is saved. You will also notice your sync status here. Always make sure your sync status has a check to ensure that all of your edits are being saved to your OneDrive. You will also notice that there is a drop-down arrow next to the name of our notebook here. If we click on it, we will see a list of existing notebooks that we can click on and open those to edit. So let's open it. The notebook will open in a new tab. Once the notebook is open, you can then go in and make any edits. But always make sure, after you make an edit, that your sync status has a check. Once you're done with that existing notebook, simply exit out and it will take you back to the notebook you were working in. You will also notice here, you can create a new notebook by selecting Add Notebook. The Create New Notebook dialog box will open and we will give it a new name, just like we did previously. Click Create and a new notebook will open in a new tab. For now, we will click Cancel since we just created our new notebook. An existing notebook is not listed here, but you have one saved on your computer or desktop C drive that you would like to open. Simply navigate to it in your File Explorer, open it, and it will open in a new browser window and take you straight to your Office account. Where the one note is saved. From there, you can go in and make any edits that you need. But again, make sure your sync status has a check to make sure all of your edits are saved to that notebook. Stay tuned for the next lesson, where I'll walk you through the Microsoft Office ribbon in one note. Thanks for watching.
