CHAPTER 7

SYNCING AND USING ONENOTE

ACROSS SEVERAL GADGETS

Syncing levels up OneNote from just being merely a glorified Notepad. All notebooks and notes are synced to an online account. Save the notes and notebooks in the usual way and then sync it so that these will all be accessible and updated through all devices.

How Sync Works

OneNote can be used across multiple devices- desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones. Save a note on one device and the exact same note can be retrieved and edited in another device. Look at this illustration:

8 AM: Opened OneNote in a PC at home and made a list of today’s tasks- meetings all morning at the office, lunch with a client, and site inspection in the afternoon. Plus, files needed for the meetings are neatly filed in notebook sections designated for each meeting. One notebook solely dedicated to the day’s client is already prepared. List of things to do and to check for during site inspection is also properly noted in a section.

8:30 AM: On the way to the office and the assistant called to inform that the first meeting of the day would need more files. These files are stored in another notebook in OneNote. So, while stuck in traffic, access OneNote on the smartphone and include the needed files into the notebook for the first meeting of the day.

9 AM: Arrived at the office and went straight to the meeting. All needed files are well prepared and organized, accessed through a laptop. The presentation went without any hitch. Notes were quickly added to the same notebook while listening to others’ presentation and exchange among the participants. Check the meeting on the to-do list as already finished.

10 AM: Went through all the scheduled morning meetings.

11:30 AM: One of the contacts handling one of the details regarding a client project called that one of the items is no longer available. Called another contractor offering a similar item, confirmed availability. Noted the changes in the client’s notebook through a smartphone.

12 Noon: Met the client. Accessed the OneNote notebook designated for all the details of the project for this particular client, using a tablet because the laptop had drained its battery. Notes showed recent changes. The client made a few changes of his own, written straight into the tablet.

Rest of the afternoon: Used tablet to create notes about site inspection. An accident happened and the tablet fell into a pool of mud. Totally wrecked and can no longer be salvaged.

7 PM: Got home. Reviewed the days notes on home PC, including notes on the client and site inspection, everything complete.

As you can see, there are many ways the same notebooks can be accessed via different devices. This is a great feature, especially with people working with devices in hazardous conditions. Accidents can happen, and precious data can get instantly lost. It’s always comforting to know that there is a backup that looks exactly the way the note looked during the last session. Sync also helps in continuous working on projects. This
