Rename Notebooks in OneNote on Android: A Step-by-Step Guide
OneNote, Microsoft's versatile note-taking app, allows you to organize your thoughts, ideas, and information in various notebooks. However, as your needs change, you might want to rename these notebooks for better organization and easier navigation. Here's a simple, step-by-step guide on how to rename notebooks in OneNote on your Android device.
Understanding the OneNote Notebook Structure
Before we dive into renaming, let's quickly understand the OneNote notebook structure. A notebook can contain multiple sections, and each section can hold numerous pages. Renaming involves changing the name of a notebook, not a section or a page.
How to Rename a Notebook in OneNote on Android
Renaming a notebook in OneNote on Android is a straightforward process. Here's how you can do it:
-
Open the OneNote app on your Android device. If you have multiple notebooks, you'll see them listed on the homepage.
Find the notebook you want to rename. Tap and hold on the notebook until a menu appears.
Tap on 'Rename' in the menu. This will highlight the current notebook name, allowing you to edit it.
Type the new name for your notebook. You can use letters, numbers, and spaces. Once you're done, tap outside the text field to save the changes.
Renaming Notebooks in the OneNote Web App
If you prefer using the OneNote web app on your Android device, the process is slightly different but just as easy:

Open the OneNote web app in your preferred browser. Sign in to your Microsoft account if you haven't already.

Click on 'Rename' in the menu that appears. This will highlight the current notebook name, allowing you to edit it.
