OneNote in a noteshell
A description of OneNote's core function can be found right in its name: One place to store, manage, and share your Notes and other information.
In other words, think of it as a cloud-based repository of raw text, documents, checklists, photos, audio recordings, Web pages, and the like. And that repository stays in sync with all your PCs and mobile devices: OneNote apps and software are available for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone, and you can also access via any Web browser.
