Create a new notebook in OneNote for Windows 10

Applies to: OneNote for Windows 10.

OneNote is a brilliant way to organise all your notes. Usually, it’s resourceful to produce several notebooks for multiple occasions — like work, school, or home projects. Here’s how to create new notebooks in OneNote for Windows 10.

Create a new notebook for your current account

If you keep all of your notes on the same account that you’re currently signed in with, follow these steps:

1. On any page, press the Show Notebooks button  .

2. At the bottom of the pane that appears, pick + Notebook.

3. Specify a name for the new notebook, and then select Create Notebook. OneNote changes to the new notebook, which includes a new section and a new, blank page.

Create a new notebook in a different account

If you want to keep notes separate on different accounts (for example, your work and home accounts), follow these steps:

1. On any page, press the Show Notebooks button  .

2. By the top of the resultant Notebooks pane, pick your current account name.

3. In the Accounts window that displays, press or tap the + Add Account button, and then sign in once prompted.

4. At the bottom of the Notebooks pane that is presented, choose + Notebook.

5. In the New Notebook window that emerges, type a name for the new notebook.

6. Below Account, pick your desired account to use for the new notebook, and then press Create Notebook.
