Add an Existing OneNote Class Notebook to Teams

Created by Mark Woof, Modified on Mon, 28 Sep 2020 at 02:50 PM by Mark Woof

Every class team comes with its own linked OneNote Class Notebook. Your Class Notebook is a digital notebook for the whole class to store text, images, handwritten notes, attachments, links, voice, video, and more.

Teams delivers these essential components of the OneNote Class Notebook experience:

  • Student Notebooks -- a private space shared between the teacher and each individual student. Teachers can access every student notebook, while students can only see their own.

  • Content Library -- a read-only space where teachers can share handouts with students.

  • Collaboration Space -- a space where everyone in your class can share, organize, and collaborate.

The Class Notebook in the General channel is the central location for viewing and interacting with the Content Library, Collaboration Space, and each student's private space.

  1. Navigate to the General channel under the desired classroom, then select the Class Notebook tab.

Set up your Class Notebook

If you haven’t set up your Class Notebook yet, you’ll be guided through the right steps the first time you visit the Class Notebook tab. You can either create a blank notebook from scratch or copy content from an existing Class Notebook.
