Like paper notebooks or three-ring binders, OneNote lets you organize information in notebooks that contain pages and sections. You can add pages, sections, and additional notebooks where and when you need them, and you can just as easily rename, move, or delete them.
A typical OneNote notebook is made up of one or more notebook sections. Within each section are the individual pages and subpages on which you take notes. OneNote isn't limited to any particular organizational style. You can organize your notes in any way you like, and if you change your mind, it's easy to change the way your notes are organized.
