There’s little-to-no learning curve: get in and start working.Here are some of the basic steps to help get you started with OneNote. They provide quick, easy access to an online workspace for communicating with colleagues and collaborating on documents and files. Share your notes with others.On a user level, Microsoft 365 Groups—which until recently were known as Office 365 Groups and I’ll simply refer to as the capitalized Groups in this article—represent one of the biggest selling points for moving to Office 365. Keep favorite commands permanently visible.
See what OneNote 2016 can do by clicking the ribbon tabs and exploring new and familiar tools.Learn the basics of Microsoft OneNote, and then dive into specific scenarios for teachers, students, and school administrators with these interactive guides. You’re not going to find it in the Waffle, which confuses… everybody.Use this guide to learn the basics. “Groups” is also not an app. Why? Because few people (even in my field) can explain Groups well… or correctly. Whenever you want to begin a note elsewhere on the page, just click and start typing there.But they’re also one of the most confusing new things in Office 365.
Onenote Use Tutorial Series That Provide
Once you create the Group (the collection of people), it tips the first domino of a series that provide you a suite of Office 365 apps that you can use to communicate and collaborate.So no, it’s not an app. It’s basically an upgraded version of an Outlook distribution group you know, like if you email that email gets forwarded to all of accounting? It’s basically the same thing.But that’s not the experience you get when you work with a Group. And below is some more detailed coverage of what the infographic means.Simply put, a Microsoft 365 Group is a collection of people. Above is an infographic to get you started with Groups. For example, you don’t access a Group through a standard “Groups” web interface: you can get there through Outlook, Yammer, Teams, or elsewhere. The following mini-tutorials configure the OneNote.This makes things difficult because "Groups" is more a concept or an experience than it is a thing.
You can have 1) an Outlook Group, 2) a Yammer Group, or 3) a Teams Group. How a Group worksThere are three main types of Groups, and they’re created based on the way your Group wants to communicate. “Groups” is—in the way you’ll experience it in everyday work life—a generalized collaborative experience in O365. You won’t find “it” in the Waffle.
A Group in Teams is pretty much known only as a Team.Just remember that a Yammer Community and a Teams Team are really Groups behind the scenes! The Group is about permissions the apps are about doing work. Yammer Groups are generally called Groups or Communities (your call). In fact, there used to even be an iOS app for them called (wait for it) Outlook Groups. Outlook Groups are called… Outlook Groups.
There’s nothing saying you have to use them all, but you can’t create just a Yammer Community without, say, a SharePoint team site collection.Let’s take this one by one so you know what you get when you create a Group in Outlook, Yammer, or Teams. You decide whether to use—or not use—these apps. And you get them whether you like it or not. But when you create a Group, it doesn’t just create a communication channel, it also provides you other workspaces.
A SharePoint team site collection (which you access through the “Files” tab) A shared Outlook calendar to post events and appointments that affect Group members An Outlook email inbox to record conversations between Group members

Teams is Microsoft’s response to the success of Slack. Teams are great for a project team to have open-ended discussion that skips the need for lots of back-and-forth, reply-all style email communication, which can get very overwhelming. A shared Outlook calendar to post events and appointments that affect Group members (this also does not display automatically with a new Team anymore).Teams provides a persistent chat-based communication method that lets you separate topic-based conversation by channel. An Outlook email inbox to record conversations between Group members (though this does not display automatically with a new Team anymore you have to request access from IT) and A Power BI workspace (if you have premium Power BI licenses for all members—see the Power BI section below for important caveats) A OneNote notebook (which you have to add as a new tab if you want quick access because the wiki is meant to replace this)
In fact, if you create a team site from the SharePoint Home, it creates a Group and you get all the other apps, even if you didn’t know it.So, if there’s one thing to remember: whenever you create an Outlook Group, Yammer Community, Teams Team, Plan, Stream video portal, orSharePoint team site in Office 365, you’ve created a Group and you’re now the proud owner of a workspace in all the relevant apps that come with that Group type. Any Groups made in Planner, Stream, or Power BI are Outlook Groups by default. But they’re not unique Group types. 8 Surprisingly Great Things About Microsoft Teams (Matt Wade)“But wait,” you may say, “I’ve created Groups before in Planner or Power BI.” You absolutely may have.

There are use cases for each. At first, the communication methods may seem redundant, but they truly aren’t. Using your GroupAll three Group types are great for communicating.
But you know what is? SharePoint! So that’s where all those files go… directly to your shared library.But fear not! You can still get the most of SharePoint by clicking the “View in SharePoint” link in Outlook and Teams, or click the “SharePoint Document Library” link on the Yammer Community's conversations page.In SharePoint, you can create lists, libraries, pages, and all the good stuff you’re used to with SharePoint. Those apps aren’t file storage apps. Teams doesn’t fully play nice with metadata yet, either.When you upload or share a file via these Group apps, the files don’t live in Outlook, Yammer, or Teams. For example, Outlook Groups don’t show folders even if they’re used in SharePoint. Files are displayed differently depending on the app. FilesIn Outlook, Yammer, and Teams, you get a tab called Files, which shows you the default document library that comes with your SharePoint team site.
It’s not a SharePoint wiki, though the content does live in SharePoint (in a sneaky way). But in Teams, the notebook tab has been replaced by a wiki that’s specific to Teams. This is the same notebook that shows up in the Groups apps.Your notebook is available in Outlook and Yammer from the top nav bar. Each new SharePoint team site comes with a default team notebook that’s available from the Quick Launch. This isn’t really a Groups feature, though. (You can include additional libraries as tabs in your Team though.) Notebook/Notes/WikiEach Group type comes with a default OneNote notebook for tracking everyone’s notes in a central place.
If you have Power BI Pro licenses for your Group members, they have access to the Power BI workspace that comes with a Group. Power BIPower BI has been a part of Groups for a while now. Stream will eventually replace Office 365 Video and provides a very YouTube-like experience in Office 365. Video portalMicrosoft Stream is one of the newest applications that's been launched as part of the Office 365 ecosystem. But you can always add your team notebook as a tab in Teams (more on that later).The point is, no matter which type of Group you go with, a central knowledge base tool (notebook, wiki) will be made available for you and your colleagues to document things on the fly, in an informal but useful way.
A new Group comes with a V1 workspace, but only for now. There are essentially two different types of Power BI workspaces, call them version 1 and version 2.
