Man you are the one of the few who actually shows real note-taking on OneNote on whole CZcams. Everybody is talking about Surface or Surface pen and blah blah but OneNote is what's most important on this device. So thank you for this. One think I'm missing on CZcams is to show tablet experience with Surface. No one has post this on CZcams yet
Aww thank you!! I've also got a video on how to use the Surface pro as a tablet which I think you might like, it's only a month or so old
@@AldoJames could u send the link to the video
We say in Mexico: “I was looking for copper and I’ve found gold”. This is a great and useful video mate. Thanks!
This has to be one of my favourite comments! Thank you!

planning to get a microsoft surface pro for school! i love the 2-in-1 functionality of it. this has been super helpful. theres a ton of videos about goodnotes/notability for ios but not a ton with onenote (which is what i’m planning to use.) thanks a ton!
Really happy it's been helpful!
I got more value from that video than the 10 previous ones I looked at. Very well done.👍🏻
Thank you!!
This is awesome. I was wondering how I was going to draw compounds for my chemistry class in a cool way, and you've saved me! Amazing video
Glad I could help!
Excellent video.👍🏾👍🏾 I have a Surface Pro 6 and just wanted to learn how to use the pen better while taking notes. Your 13-minute video provided me with new skills and saved me money. I don't need one of those electronic notepads because my Surface Pro does the same thing.😶🌫😶🌫😶🌫😶🌫😶🌫😶🌫😶🌫😶🌫
Beautifully done video. Love all these features. I was considering buying a totally different notebook for note-taking. Now, you've saved me money by showing me how to leverage One Note better.
Really happy to hear that!!
Me too.

You used dealbreaker wrong lol
Man U are the best,keep up ❤
Thank you
Thank you!
You're welcome!
you are really mastering one note on whole youtube hahhaa,incredible sir
Nice video. I'm planning on buying a surface pro for university usage. I'll probably wait for the surface pro 10 that's coming out some time soon... I don't know exactly when tho.
Who knows but sounds like a good plan!
Is there a way to edit/annote PDF's in OneNote and save them?
Is there a cover or screen protector that will give the Surface a more paper like feel? I love OneNote but keep abandoning it becasue I dislike writing on the slick surface. I don't really even care about a paper feel. Just something with a matte finish would work.
Great video. Quick question: what surface device have you used? And, does note come for free on every surface?
Thank you
can voice recordings sync to HANDwritten notes?
Great!
Is there a way to set an automatic text conversion mode /default when I start writing text in one note? I want to just start handwriting text every time I open it and have it convert writing to text automatically.
There most likely is a setting, but for math not recommened
great videos!! thank you. Do you know how to disable the 'ink to text' pen? I see you don't have it in your pen area. It is really annoying. they added the 'ink to text' pen and it is locked in place next to the eraser. I never use this feature and do not want it as a default. I am hoping there is a way to remove it or at least slide it to the end of the list. Thanks
I don't think it can be
I am unable to see one note features like ruler, text pen etc so may I know what's the reason
When I open one note, the pens don’t appear as yours. They come up with like different stroke lines. How do I make them like yours ?
Thanks for the video. How is this different from using OneNote with any other Windows tablet and stylus? I'm asking because I use a ThinkPad Yoga 370 with an active digitizer and I want to be sure that the video also applies to me. Thanks again.
Surface pen has a few more customizations that OEM devices such as using the back as an eraser, clicking the back button etc and usually a better drawing/writing experience when you put pen to screen but feature wise it's all Windows & OneNote so there shouldn't be many feature differences
@@AldoJames Thank yoiu.
I have problems with straight line. Usually when I draw straight line I do not use a ruler tool just hold my pen but now I can’t do the same and I don’t know why😢
I don’t have the ink to text function and it said I have latest update already, how?
I want to make notes but i dont have an ipad or a writing pad, i want to type my notes on my laptop. So how do i do that ?.
Using Whiteboard on surface required internet connection. Does OneNote also required internet? Or can write note offline? Tq
Onenote can be used offline :)
Can you tell me if one note or any other app on wi dows has a zoom box or zoom tool for writing?
No but there is the magnifier build into WIndows that may help
One quick question. I noticed you tried to give the page a name 'CZcams' but it wouldn't synch in your list on the right hand side of the page and the name stayed untitled page for most of the video. But then when you went to screen shot around the 11:50 mark OneNote changed the name of the page in your list to 'screen shot' and then later when you add the (1+2)/3 formula, it changed the name of that 'screen shot' page to the formula. Do you know what was happening there and why OneNote never accepted the 'CZcams' title you gave the page?
Pretty sure it was just a syncing issue
How can I set the writing distance of the pen? Even if I don't touch the screen and the pointer is activated, it starts writing and generates writing errors.
There's no settings to change the distance of the pen unfortunately
Hey, why there is a ruler in your OneNote. In mine (Surface Pro 9, Win 11, MSO 365) it is just missing.
That's really odd, I'm not sure :(
A quarter of the screen height is taken up by unnecessary menus/text/header bar, can these be turned off so that you only have the icons and pens... such a waste of space up top. Also, can the tabs be at the side? The default UI doesn't look very optimal.
Open onenote, and under the view section of you mac (not onenote) uncheck ribbon and this should help a bit
Which version of surface pen are you using?
Surface Slim Pen 2
what one note app is this and where can i download it because on my tablet it doesnt have many options that you show in the video
One Note may not be available on your device
This is the full desktop version of OneNote. You maybe using the app version.
Can you please test goodnotes for windows
Its dogshit
can u explain how to get this version of one note pls?
i do have the same question. What version are you sing please?
To get this version of OneNote, you have to pay. AND if you're using a Samsung tablet or an Ipad, you won't get this version. Many think it will be missing. It's easier to say what things you can use. So you can use: the pencil tool with eraser, but only with colors which are given. You've got the Laso thing and you can have a few shapes. No ruler, no handwriting to the text. It's not worth the money for non-windows devices.
It seems that you use one note as whiteboard. Is there a reason you’d use one note rather than whiteboard?
For taking handwritten notes, he is using OneNote.
Microsoft Whiteboard is not a note taking application.
@@alliswell11334 is one note like an app u download or does it comes with the laptop? ... please answer
I will never understand what on earth made Microsoft put the eraser on the back of the pen instead of just keeping the eraser button. So inconvenient.
It was to make it feel/give an illusion of a real pencil. Studies show that pen and paper ( even if it is just an illusion ) helps retain information and make a better purpose out of what your doing. I suppose apple didn’t think of that and rather thought of just the base idea for convinence. However I appreciate Microsoft for sticking with science.
I wantet to get an ipad until i wat hed this video, the surface is miles ahead of the ipad and its limited functions lmao!
Ohh did you end up getting a surface now?
