- 00:04 If you remember the first couple lessons of this course,
- 00:08 we talked about those Quick Notes.
- 00:11 So I'm going to close out of OneNote for a second, and then go right back in again.
- 00:17 So I'll go to the OneNote icon.
- 00:19 So now it's going to probably open up your most recent notebook, as you can see.
- 00:25 However, if I click on the pull-down where it says webinars,
- 00:29 then I could easily go back into my quick notes.
- 00:32 So I'll click on the quick notes.
- 00:34 And maybe this could be where you put something temporarily or
- 00:40 it's where you just have your scratch pad.
- 00:44 And then any one of those containers can be copied to a different notebook or
- 00:49 moved to a different notebook and so on.
- 00:52 But here we were able to get to the quick notes.
- 00:55 Now in the quick notes, I can add the pages, but notice how the quick notes here
- 01:00 I can't add the sections like we can in the other workbook.
- 01:04 So if you really wanted to make this bigger,
- 01:06 you'll just keep on adding pages into your quick notes.
- 01:09 So maybe that's just, your go to area, that you just put something
- 01:14 really quickly into OneNote or your scratch pad and these kind of things.
- 01:19 But any one of those containers from the quick notes can easily be copied into
- 01:24 a different OneNote to make it more of a permanent home, for that container.
- 01:30 But it was pretty easy to get back into those quick notes as you can see.
