So that's why OneNote is used for

For many years as an IT technician I was surely aware of the existence of Microsoft OneNote as being part of the Office Suite, but I never saw it actually used - until 2017...

It´s actually a really great tool for personal documentation and databases. I saw it this year the first being used like this. In the department I worked for a 'basic database' was sent around and everyone updated it on its own.

And some point good, but on the other hand it would be better to put the OneNote files on network folders and work with it like this.

Generally it's great to use, especially through the search engine to get the right information quickly. Especially if you have lots of information in your database.

Like a really big notepad database. It's just important you use it for the right purpose. Some things are better to be shared on an intranet knowledge base...
