Optimize OneNote: Tips for Efficient Note-taking
- OneNote allows users to review notes in chronological order, but it can be challenging. To overcome this, utilize the OneNote feed function from the desktop, which aggregates notes from OneNote, Samsung Note, and sticky notes, displaying them in chronological order.
- When searching in OneNote, it scans through all active notebooks, potentially leading to unhelpful search results. To streamline searches, change the filter from "all notebooks" to "this notebook" and set this scope as default for future searches.
- To add colors to text containers in OneNote, select all text in the container, insert a table with a single cell, and choose a color from the table Tab. This workaround allows for visually appealing groupings of text.
- To prevent accidental movement of annotations on inserted images or printouts in OneNote, set the document as a background by right-clicking on the document and selecting "set picture as background." Additionally, make this setting the default by navigating to file, options, advanced, and selecting "automatically set inserted file printouts in the background."
