Create a Staff Notebook in OneNote

Staff Notebook is part of OneNote for Education. Each Staff Notebook includes a Content Library where members can share access to resources, a Collaboration Space where the team can work together, and a private space for each staff member that only they and the notebook co-owners can see. Staff Notebook works well for sharing meeting agendas, professional development materials, and school policies in one place your team can always find.

Note: The steps below create a Staff Notebook in OneDrive by using the Staff Notebook Wizard. If your staff already works in a PLC team or Staff team in Microsoft Teams, we recommend creating or opening the Staff Notebook from that team instead. Learn how to use OneNote Staff Notebook in Teams.
