What is OneNote?

OneNote is a digital notebook that provides a single place to keep all of your notes — everything you need to remember and manage in your life at home, at work, or at school. Support your written notes with multimedia like pictures, documents, tables, audio/video, and more. Advanced search functionality and tags make it easy to find the information you need.
