How to use Templates in OneNote to boost productivity 

Yes OneNote Templates and Tags can be used to make OneNote extremely powerful. I think this is the most underrated app with the Office product suite. Thanks Andy for this simple and informative video!

I just discovered OneNote about a month ago and have become obsessed with it. Thanks for this tutorial. I like the very straightforward, non-distracting style of it. :)

As others have commented, your video production is superb. Clean editing and visuals, calm voice, no distracting music. I was an early subscriber and have enjoyed learning OneNote and other tech tips from you. Thank you.

I am a OneNote power user and I had not watched a video on OneNote in a while. Well, I must say your video is clear, easy to follow and super effective. I just subscribed to your channel to see more content like this. Keep up the excellent work.

This is the first time I'm hearing about OneNote, but I'll go ahead and listen.

Love this template idea! I was thinking of using onenote for building a data dictionary, with a tab per table, maybe, and a summary page and then a detail page for each field or something like that. I've done similar things for instructions. but this template will make it so much easier!

So well explained. You can really understand what to do and why this is so useful. Thanks!

Simple, yet very elegant! Well done. Thanks.

Simple, clear and short video forming brilliant introduction to templates and a good bonus tip.

Outstanding instructional video. Thank you, Andy!

I came to know about your channel through onenote. Defenitly your videos increase productivity. I subscribed your channel.

You presented the topic very well, your camera and video editing quality are excellent, and the whole video is clean/to the point. This is top-notch content that directly helps others. Maybe one day you can do a longer form video on your process for making these videos? I'd love to look behind the scenes and learn about it. You deserve more subscribers, at least you got one more today. Thank you!

Thank you :) See you next time, again!

Downside of microsoft: they don't really put advanced functions at the foreground so you miss it easily. Which does make their apps accessible and easy to learn, but hard to master. Thanks for the video, I loved it

I found one of your videos in my feed and eventuali watched a few of them. So useful and inspiring. You are the best! Greetings from Italy

Maybe a video detailing your Project Template? How much do you actually use it? Do you use it for every project?

Great video Andy. We’ll layed out and very informative.

what version of Onenote are you using? Because mine looks very simple and doesn't have a file tab and such elaborate features. Please help.

I finally choosed an A4 template instead of endless paper. Thanks

Great instructor and Great Tips

Great Video!

Fantastic - esp. liked your “technically not a template” trick!

My main grumble is the lack if templates for one note. I'm surprised MS couldn't create a planner template. The programmers could very easily adapt Word, Excel and PowerPoint templstes

Thank you for creating this helpful video!

Nicely done. Thank you!

Nice, Thank you

Hi, I don’t have an option for Page Templates, and I have the latest version of OneNote.

Thank you so much. This is really helpful.

Thank you so much for the videos. Extremely helpful.

This was great. Thank you

thank you nvery much , this is a increible video , thaks for your time making this

Thank you so much, this was helpful,

That was awesome! Thank you so much 😊

This was very informative and useful for research I am doing for a work project.

Good one - thanks Andy

Great video. - Q? Do you know of a workflow to have a standard set of templates available for all users in a team. In other words team templates. Thanks

I wish there were an easy way to share page templates with others. The only way I have figured out how to do it is to create a notebook that only has 1 section and a page created with each page template, and then share the notebook with the other person. Then they have to save that page as a template in their own version of OneNote. It's a bit clumsy. Is there a better way?

How do you get that tool bar across the top of the page?

Nice presentation... but I have a question. I have OneNote for Office365 and I do not see the options in the Insert tools.. Why is this? there is no "page Templates". The only option I can find is to "save as Default template". that's singular, so apparently O365 users only have ONE template option? Do you know why this is?

Thanks for the excellent video, can you share your project template with templates in the sections for someone to download to their own notebook?

Great job thanks

Then last part of the video. A notebook 'template' - any links would.point back to the original notebook. Do you use oneMore or any pkugins to manage links, table.of.contents.

Thanks for the great videos! These are really helping me get to know one note. Is there an easy way to navigate from the last entry point of one note field to the natural next entry point of the next note field? I found the short cut that you can use Alt+down arrow to navigate, but this action takes you to the beginning of the note field, which is generally not where you want to start typing. Thanks for any help!

The most confusing thing is: Microsoft now has 2 different one note apps. There is a "Microsoft OneNote' and a "Onenote for Windows 10". The latter don't have a templates function.. The templates tab just does not exist. I thought I was loosing it until figuring this out.

I am interested to know if I can organize my custom templates alphabetically, and then keep them in the same spot if I make modifications to them? I'm guessing no, so I'm also guessing the work around is creating a section entitled Page Templates and then we'll just have to copy and paste the pages from there... Bummer.

I have "new sections" and "new pages" in total i have 50 pages for each project/protocol etc. I need to learn "how can i put reminder for those pages" for exp: i need to check "section abc>page12" per week and "section 3> page 3" one in a 2 week time.

Hi Andy, thanks for the Template tips. Very useful stuff and I will try it out. I see you’re using Camtasia to record your screen. Do you know any discounts on Camtasia Software? It’s pretty expensive but I like using it at work. Thanks

Andy- great video, is there a place you save your templates to where people could download them?

Hi Andy, love the videos. What do you use to edit your videos? Very professional.

Thanks so much. Is there a way to edit an existing template that you have already set as a default for a lot of notebook sections. If I create a new template, then I have to go and set the new template as my default for all my sections. I would like to just modify the existing template and not have to reset the default template for all my sections.

My one note apps and the brower version does not have Page Templates under view or anywhere else for that matter. Can't do anything you're talking about here on this video. Is there a step you didn't mention?

I am really starting to get into using OneNote. I like that the notes can be continuous, however, I really wish there was a way to set a template that was 8.5 in wide and still be able to have it be continuous. Do you have a tip or trick to do that?

Andy, I have created a template in one note which is working great. The problem I have is when I cut and paste a snip or picture into my template and then remove it to up-date the snip the One note template does note snap back to its original template shape. Is there a setting I can use to have my template snap back to original configuration after removing pictures and making changes?

Nice video Can anyone tell me how to delete a template? There are many videos on adding templates but nowhere do I see the guidelines on how to delete a template.

Andy, my notebook different with you, anyway thank you for the video.

i just freaking want a ruler in onenotes is it too much to ask?

I am on the latest version and not seeing any template feature on insert and the "ribbon" no longer looks like that.

Just subscribed

Can I add an MP3 file to a page on OneNote? I know about recording but my intention is to use MP3 files I already have on my computer. Thanks.

I clicked on Insert and there is no "Page Templates" to be found. How do I get this?

Are there opportunities to create templates that can be distributed in the cloud to all users in an organization

I don't have the template option on my onenote. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Can't find any templates in my Macbook app

Does one note has sync blocks/texts like in notion?

Is there a way to delete older templates that I created?

i wanted your rice template

Does this also work for the Mac version?

Hi Andy, I use a macbook air. I have a paid subscription to Microsoft 365. When i looked at my version of Onenote it is 16.66. When I look at the ribbon in Onenote I see insert but I do not see page templates/ add a template as an option. Help Please.

mine doesn't have any "page templates", what do??

No sound?

It only plays ads.

I'm not getting templates when i go to insert, is it because im using the free version?

Are these only on windows 11?

OneNote for web has no templates correct

Bought 365 for mac and has VERY limited functionality. Deleting this kuk

I feel like the templates are made by 60 to 85 year old people with their 1960's design. :(

In other words use this app that harvests ALL YOUR DATA and then selling it! Yeah , a “ real” boost to my productivity! 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

This onenote is totally a garbage app, always crashes on my ipad. Totally destroyed my studywork flow...headache!!

The introduction is way too long, I lost interest.
