- Extract the Zip File into a directory on your hard disk.
- Double click on each section to start the import.
- The other way is to create a new notebook in OneNote naming it “KanBan” or “GTD” or whatever you wish to call it. You could also use an existing notebook if you prefer.Then import the templates and sections
-
- Use “File > Open”
- Open from other locations > This PC
- Browse to the directory where you unzipped the files.
- Under “File name” there is a drop down box which shows “OneNote Table of Contents” … select “OneNote Sections”.
- Now the sections are showing – select “Get Started” first and click Open.
- Now do this with the other sections also.
