Cloud attachments
Cloud attachments allow you to make changes on the fly without having to reattach the file. In short, when a friend or co-worker updates the file, you don’t have to change it. Simply just choose Insert>File – attach cloud attachment and it will upload it to OneDrive for you, then you can share the file with friends.
Tag search
Add tags throughout your pages for easy search and discovery later, just like you would on your physical binder with your thumb. It’s very easy, just click the magnifying glass next to the notebook name in the left-hand navigation pane and type in the tag name and it will show a list of tags from all over OneNote
