Essentially, it is a digital notebook available anytime, anywhere. OneNote is available as a traditional desktop app, a web app, and a mobile app. In addition, a simplified OneNote version comes pre-installed with Windows 10. The features available to the user depend on the version and environment used.

    • You can search for items by text, tags, or author.
  • OneNote integrates easily with Microsoft Outlook and other Office products.

How Does Onenote Work With Outlook

OneNote isn't really set up for a complete sharing solution that I know of. You can e-mail pages to other people, and I believe Outlook opens that up with no problem. On my desktop right now, I'll try emailing a bit on the tablet tomorrow and let you know. There really aren't any technical requirements above the standard Office requirements, though OneNote really shines the best when used on a tablet. Can still be used without pen input, but there are generally better solutions without...but I've seen nothing that compares when using it with a tablet.
