Confirm the name for the new notebook for the team.Click the search box and specify the team to add OneNote.Click the down-arrow button and select Add to a team or Add to a chat option.Here’s how to add a new notebook to a Teams channel:

OneNote users are able to add notebooks to specific channels in Teams to share meeting notes, discuss ideas or plan a project – wherever they’re located and whatever device they’re using. OneNote can be integrated with a broad range of Microsoft 365 applications, including Teams – Microsoft’s all-in-one communications application. Within these sections, users can create any number of individual pages. Notebooks feature colour-coded sections (that act as a physical folder separator). OneNote’s notebooks are organi sed into one single file that can be stored in the cloud or locally on a desktop, and shared amongst employees who need to collaborate on the same set of notes. Unlike other Office apps such as Word and Excel – that feature pre-defined margins and editing areas – OneNote doesn’t limit users in how they interact with the application. Sometimes called a ‘free form’ application, OneNote provides the user with a blank canvas, on which they can add text, graphics, tables and supporting information.

OneNote is Microsoft’s free note-taking application, with more advanced versions sold as part of a Microsoft 365 Business subscription
