How to organise your OneNote notebooks with section groups

You can use sections to organise pages in Microsoft OneNote, but did you know you can also use section groups to organise your sections?

The sections group feature feels strangely hidden, but once you know where to find it it makes organising your OneNote notebooks so much easier.

Section groups can hold sections and sections can hold pages, just like this:

Section Groups > Sections > Pages

To create a section group do the following:

1. At the top level of your notebook (you can only create section groups here) right click and select New Section Group.
2. Give your section group a name.

3. You can create new sections within your section group, and also drag sections from other areas of your OneNote notebook into your new section group.

And that’s it! Why this feature is so hidden isn’t clear, but once you know about section groups, it makes structuring your OneNote notebooks so much easier.
