Standard Operating Procedures in OneNote - Best Method?
Hi, I've been in business for over 18 years, with 6 employees. We have over 300 policies and procedures that have been written and rewritten. They have always been stored on our Sharepoint server in a regular file folder structure that syncs to our computers. Because of it, nobody uses them for they are difficult to find. Sometimes you don't know the name of what you're looking for, other times its an SOP that could be under production or finance. The system has just never worked. I'm currently implementing a system in OneNote. I have it set up where our 9 primary areas are all tabs. There then exists sections for checklists, specific procedures, and then one large 20-30 page manual for that department that discusses in detail everything that needs to be known. An example is in the 23-page Marketing Manual, there are five paragraphs explaining what brand colors are, why they are important, and why we can't stray from them. It then has a few links to reference other documents, one of them is our Branding Sheet that is a Word document, stored inside OneNote. OneNote is also great because it's desktop software that each of our computers has, every single document can be searched at once, you can utilize links to any part that you'd like, you can utilize tags, and you can store the referenced document inside OneNote (so I don't have to deal with somebody changing the file name or somehow breaking the link to the server. I haven't released it yet, but my employees say they would use it if it were easy. As I'm slowly going through and entering the SOPs into OneNote, I'm finding minor issues with my system in OneNote The formatting is VERY limited. So making a great SOP is not as easy as it is in Word Once I have everything in there, I dont think I can get it back out in an editable fashion. I can print the .pdf but it's not like it's a Word document that can be moved around You can't really set permissions on it. I can lock pages, which would work, but I'd prefer permission on different areas Getting everything in there is going to be challenging enough, then I have to go back and link everything. Before I spend too much time organizing these SOPs and copy/pasting them into OneNote, I was hoping that somebody has gone down this road before and can either advise me away from OneNote to another product or offer advice as to why I should keep going down my path. Thanks in advance. Aaron

Co-pilot is resurrected Clippy on steroids. Give us ACTUAL options to remove it
I am sick and tired of spending now literal hours of my life finding the newest, most super-secret hidden ways of disabling MS's newest way to chase the dragon of monetizing some new faddish tool. Every single new iteration of their desktop products further hides the malware that is copilot.
