About OneNote
While OneNote has been around forever, Microsoft365’s 2026 update cycle has changed the game. OneNote doesn’t have to be just a static notebook anymore - it’s an active AI workspace. In this hands-on lab, we move beyond basic typing to explore the "Agentic OneNote"—a workspace that summarizes meetings, organizes handwritten chaos, and bridges the gap between brainstorming and execution, giving you real-world use cases and how-tos to help you start treating all those notes you take into a high-velocity engine for productivity.
