I have also tried I mainly use this PC for gaming but would love to have acces

Introducing the new Sticky Notes app for Windows

Microsoft 365 Insider Blog: Hey, Microsoft 365 Insiders! My name is Chetna Das and Im a Product Manager on the OneNote team. Im excited to share with you an early look at the new Sticky Notes app on Windows, focused on creating and recalling notes more seamlessly than ever. We are taking our first step with OneNote on Windows as the entry point for this preview experience. Soon, youll be able to try the new Sticky Notes app from the Windows Start menu and by toggling over from the existing Microsoft Sticky Notes app on Windows.

Introducing the new Sticky Notes app for Windows Have you ever wished to capture a thought or idea in a meeting or conversation, but it passed too quickly? Do you need an easier way to pick up where you left off with notetaking when switching between tasks? These are the kinds of issues that we aim to help you solve with the new Sticky Notes app, while keeping things simple and intuitive. How it works

1. To launch the new Sticky Notes app, open the OneNote app on Windows and select the Sticky Notes button.

NOTE: After launching the new Sticky Notes app, you can pin it to the taskbar. You can also press the Win + Alt + S keys to launch the app anytime.

2. To ensure that your notes are synced across your devices, sign in if you havent already. 3. To get started with the new Sticky Notes app, read through the Quick Tips cards.

4. Select + Note to create a note or select Screenshot to take a screenshot of your current app window with a single click. NOTE: The note will automatically include original source information of the app window where note is taken from.

5. If you captured a note or a screenshot from a website, click the auto-captured source to go back to that website.

6. To see the note in a larger window, double-click it, or select the pop-out icon on the top right corner of the note. NOTE: You can also double-click on a captured image to view it at full size.

7. To use the new Sticky Notes app in a side-by-side mode while using other apps, dock it to your desktop.

8. To access your Sticky Notes on the go, use the OneNote for iOS or OneNote for Android. Scenarios to try At work

• When a presentation is shared in a Teams meeting, take screenshots of important slides with a single click, while staying focused on the meeting.
• For a recurring meeting, take notes on the same page and your past notes will automatically rise to the top when you open the new Sticky Notes app during the next instance of the meeting series.

When learning

• While watching an educational YouTube video or reading an article, capture important sections and your previous notes will rise to the top in the app when you return to the same website later.

At home

• When planning a trip, take notes and screenshots of potential destinations. The next time you open your notes, click the source link to go back to the website in question for more details or to complete your booking.
