Information is saved in pages, which can be organized by section or notebook. .OneNote users can also share notebooks and collaborate in real time. **You can also use OneNote Classroom Creator to create digital notebooks for the class. The teacher can see all their students' digital notebooks and push out handouts, tables, and notes.
