Compared to other note-taking apps such as Google Keep, Apple Notes, Bear Notes, etc., OneNote always wins the race.

The credit goes to the humongous number of features offered in the app.

So, we will tell you the best ways to organize your notes in OneNote in this post.

The following tips for organizing notes will work in Microsoft OneNote on Windows.

Lets get started.

Create Multiple Notebooks I like OneNote because it offers a hierarchical folder structure.

You can have separate notebooks for work, personal use, or different themes such as books, projects, subjects, etc.

For instance, if you have created a notebook for each subject such as Math, Science, English, etc., sections will have chapters for each notebook.

To create a section, open the notebook and click on Add section at the bottom.

Use Ctrl T (Windows) or Command T (Mac) keyboard shortcut to add a new section.

To create a new section directly under the section group, right-click on the section and select New section.

Use the small arrow next to the section group to show or hide the subsections.

To create a page, click on the Add page option at the bottom of the page area.

You can also use Ctrl N (Windows) or Command N (Mac) keyboard shortcut to create a page.

Alternatively, use Ctrl Shift Alt N keyboard shortcut to create a new subpage.

Right-click on the subpages for options like promote and collapse subpage, if need be.

Try to add numbers to your page titles to identify them or use emojis for better visibility.

To add an emoji, use the Windows key period (.) shortcut to launch the emoji panel on your Windows PC.

Take the help of the search feature in OneNote to find your note.

Click on the search icon on the left side of OneNote and type any term present in your note.

You can search under all notebooks, current notebook, current section, or page.

Alternatively, use Ctrl F shortcut to search within the current page and Ctrl E to search across all notebooks.

Search can also come handy to find tags, as shown next.

Use Tags Tags in OneNote are a way to mark your sentence or paragraph to index and find them quickly.
