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.
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!
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!
Thanks John. I appreciate it. Yes, I'd love to do a behind the scenes video on my workflow. It's a bit convoluted as I use both Camtasia and FCPX. I'd like to streamline before I share. 😀
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
@@jen-rn7mx He's using the Desktop version on a PC. On a mac the appearance is more like the browser version, but you still get more features on a mac than the browser version itself which has limited functionality. Hope that helps.
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
Hi Rhiannon and Christine. As J Brand responded, the version shown in the tutorial was the desktop version that comes with MS Office. Unfortunately, the template option isn't available in the Windows 10 version.
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?
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?
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
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?
Hey Russ. It sounds like the app that you're using may be OneNote for Windows 10. The one I feature in the tutorial is OneNote desktop that comes with an Office 365 subscription. Sorry I didn't make that clear at the start of the video.
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?
Hi Shelly - I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to achieve, but please check out this video. It may give you some ideas with the page format: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tes1kqeWGiY.html
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.
Hi Yozuki - yes there are multiple versions of OneNote. The one I used in the tutorial was the desktop version. You may be using the Windows 10 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.
Hi Carol, I don’t use the MacOS version of Onenote so I can’t really speak to it. The version that I used in the tutorial was the Windows desktop version. I understand that Microsoft is trying to unify the various versions of OneNote for consistent feature set and experience, but not sure where this particular function will land. Apologies for now being able to help on this.
Hi Nitte - You are probably using the Windows 10 version of OneNote, which doesn't have the full template feature. However, you CAN create your OWN templates for use. You can refer to this video on how: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--GzjbgM7rf8.html. Thanks.
Yes. It sounds like you may be using the Windows 10 version of OneNote. Only the desktop version (that's part of Microsoft 365) has the template option.
