Families are busier than ever these days, and it can be hard to stay in sync. With the family notebook in OneNote, you can literally get everyone on the same page. Here’s how it works.

Grocery lists. Vacation planning. Shared notes. Families share information every day, and often, it’s challenging to capture it all and keep it up to date. That’s where a family notebook comes in.

Share to-do lists, recipes, vacation plans, and more

Once your notebook is created, it will be automatically shared with your Microsoft family. Whatever you choose to add to your family notebook, it will be in one place that everyone in your family can access.

We’ve started you off with some examples for Household management, Food, Vacations, and more.
