Problem 

You are a student, and you want to add a file to your OneNote notebook. There are two ways you can attach a file in OneNote, depending on what outcome you are looking for.


Solution

  • You can add a file to your notebook, so that you and other people can edit it later (i.e. the file will stay in its original format)
  • You can add a file to your notebook, so that it can not be edited/changed after (i.e. the file will be in .pdf format).

Steps

  • You can add a file to a page in your OneNote Notebook by uploading the file and attaching it to that page.

  • The Microsoft Support web page shows the steps for both solutions:
