In fact OneNoteCLI can also create sections, delete notes, and append text to existing notes. Now creating a OneNote page from the command line is simple with OneNoteCLI - The OneNote Command Line Interface. The ability to create OneNote pages from the command line is something that OneNote has never offered before. A perfect example is from within a batch file or other script. Sometimes you need to create a page in OneNote and it would be much easier to create it from the command line. It’s a simple way to keep track of all your daily doings, and makes collaborating and creating projects with team members fun, easy, and universally accessible from mobile devices and desktops alike.Novem(Last Updated: September 13, 2022) | Reading Time: 3 minutes
OneNote may not be worth the price that Microsoft is asking for access to the Office 365 suite on its own, but it’s still equipped with enough features and tweaks to give other free options like Evernote or Google Keep a run for their money. This menu is also where you’ll find the option to “Pin to Start”, which will take any Page or Notebook and send the whole thing to your Start Menu in the form of a quickly clickable shortcut.
From the linked online portal, you can control editing permissions with anyone who has access to the note, as well as collaborate through communal drawing features, image uploading, and shared text. Select the option to “Copy Link to Page”, and you’ll end up with a link that looks something like this. To do this, find the content you want to share, and then right click it to bring up the following submenu. Similarly, any page or notebook you want to share can also be copied as a direct link in your clipboard if you’ve already given permissions to anyone who clicks on it.
In this case, we can either share through the Windows Mail client, to Facebook, through Gmail directly, or to a separate OneNote account holder on another computer.
Just to be safe from having that level of information being sent over the wires at a constant click (and to save battery while editing on a laptop), it’s advised to keep this toggle switched off at all times. This means that throughout everything you do in OneNote (or any other associated Office 365 applications), Microsoft is keeping a log of where your mouse goes, what you click on, and how often you use any one specific portion of its software. Though most of what’s monitored by this setting is relatively innocuous (“stability problems” and “system configuration” are just what they sound like), the “features you use most frequently” statistic is the one that makes our toes curl.

Next up in the Settings menu is the Privacy section, a topic which has proven to be a hot button issue for many users ever since Windows 10 first dropped. If you do choose to add another account, you’ll only be able to do so using an enterprise (work) or school based email address that has paid for its own Office 365 subscription as well. Need to scribble a few additions on top of someone’s grocery list? OneNote is tablet and stylus compatible, or you can even use your mouse if you’re feeling particularly artistic.

If you want to overlay images on top of text, OneNote won’t stop you. While on the surface this may sound a tad overwhelming, once you start digging into OneNote it all starts to flow together seamlessly, and makes for an extensive note-taking app that doesn’t leave any stone unturned when it comes to packing as many features into one program as possible. Each page then functions as its own individual free space where any amount of content can be added or edited by you or other users who have access to the notebook.
To add a new page to the parent section, we’ve clicked on the plus sign in the left bar where it says “+ Pages”. Each section can then be split up into pages, which for the purpose of this tutorial have been labeled as “To-Do List”, “Work”, “Groceries”, and “Project Board”, accordingly. So for example, you can see here that we’re working in one section. Not only that, but for every list of pages you can also designate others as “Subpages”, which will attach a lower-level page to another as a part of the same section.
