Getting Started with the OneNote Web Clipper

Whenever you do online research with OneNote, you can use OneNote Web Clipper to easily capture, edit, annotate, and share information. It's free to use and it works with most modern web browsers.

Use the OneNote Web Clipper

The OneNote Web Clipper automatically detects the type of website content you want to capture—an article, a recipe, or a product page.

1. Open the page that contains what you want to clip to OneNote, and then click the OneNote Web Clipper icon.

2. In the small OneNote Web Clipper window, do any of the following (where available):

   • Click Full Page or Region if you want to capture the current web page (or a selected region of it) to your notebook as a screenshot image. These options preserve the content you're clipping in exactly the way it appears.
     
     ​​​​​​​

   • Click Article if you want to save the current web page to your notebook as editable text and images. When you select any of these options, you can use the buttons at the top of the preview window to highlight selected text, change between a serif and sans-serif font style, and increase or decrease the default text size.​​​​​​​
     

   • Click the Location drop-down menu, and then select the notebook section where the clipped web page should be saved. The list includes all notebooks that you have stored on your OneDrive account, including any shared notebooks. You can click to expand any notebook in the list to see its available sections.

     1. ​​​​​​​​​​​​Click Add a note if you want to give the captured information more context for later. This step is optional, but the additional note can be useful as a note or reminder to yourself (for example, "Follow up with Samantha about these product specs!"), or as a way to provide information to others who are reading it in a shared notebook (for example, "Hey everyone, check out this article I found!").

     2. Click Clip to send the captured information to OneNote.
