# Working with OneNote

After opening the Notebook OneNote will open in the browser. In case users have OneNote installed on their PC they can open the *OneNote Desktop App* by clicking **Open in App**in the Ribbon at the top of the screen.

Within the desktop version of OneNote you’ll find the **bookshelf (1)**with the current Notebook visible (in the online version this bookshelf is visible as a *hamburger menu*). Every Notebook is divided into **Sections (2)** and **Pages (3)**.

By **right clicking**on a page users can add a subpage to that page to organize notes in an even more structured way.

Below the *bookshelf*both a **magnifying glass**and a **clock** are visible.

- The magnifying glass lets users search within all sections, pages and even different notebooks.
- The clock lists the most recently modified pages across all notebooks.

OneNote has the capability to store and edit data in a free-form way. This means that users can add notes, images and drawings to any location in a NoteBook, without spacing or margin restrictions.
