Welcome to the MyJournal.Notebook Wiki

"Wiki" is a Hawaiian word meaning "quick".

So, here is where you can find information on how to quickly get started with the free MyJournal.Notebook open source add-in for Microsoft OneNote for Windows desktop application software. The OneNote for Windows 10 app does not support add-ins.

📖 Overview

What does the MyJournal.Notebook add-in for OneNote do? OneNote uses a hierarchical structure to organize its notebooks:

1️⃣ Notebook
2️⃣ Section Group
3️⃣ Section
4️⃣ Page

With one button click, the add-in automates the creation of this structure on your local or OneDrive - Personal storage and does nothing more; leaving you to document your daily interactions, ideas and inspirations in OneNote.
