But that's why we're here.

First, know that OneNote lets you recover notes or even entire pages of notes using the Undo keyboard combo of Ctrl+Z (if on a Windows machine) or Command+Z (if using a Mac).

Additionally, you can restore single pages or entire sections of notes by using the OneNote Recycle Bin. Opening the OneNote Recycle Bin will let you browse recently deleted notes and sections.

What's more, get to the OneNote Deleted Items by using a couple clever little shortcuts.

And remember, kids: OneNote is an essential part of that back-to-school kit. Not only does OneNote help keep all your notes in one place, it makes those notes easy to search, and the notes are available across multiple devices - you can easily sync your laptop notes to your iPhone, for example.

And perhaps best of all, OneNote is free. It's bundled on Windows 10 machines, and it's a free App Store download if you're using a Mac.

Whether in a classroom or meeting room, taking notes is a critical life skill. (In fact, it's never a bad idea to get really efficient with the apps you use every day.)

During our back to school special, save over 90% on the planet's best-selling and best-reviewed OneNote course. Was $149, now is just 5 bucks.
