OneNote Mac and Windows App
The OneNote app on Mac and Windows are almost similar looking with the same options and menus. The steps to create a template on both are also the same. You can download the app from the Mac App Store or Windows Store, sign in using account credentials, and sync notebooks and pages.
In the example below, we will create a OneNote page, add elements that we can reuse in other OneNote pages, and create a template out of it.
Step 1: Open the OneNote app on Mac or Windows. Go to relevant Notebook > Section. Click on Add Page at the bottom. Give the OneNote page a relevant name and start making changes.
In the steps below, we are making a Physics OneNote page with different colors, page styles, tables, and to-dos.
Step 2: Go to View > Page Color and change the OneNote page color based on your liking. Navigate to Paper Style and Rule lines or Grid lines. One can also change the line color.
Step 3: Go to Insert and add a 5×5 table. Open Home > To-Do and add tasks to the page.
To reuse this OneNote Page in the future for different uses, we will convert it into a template. Here’s how.
Step 4: Go to Notebook > Section > Page. Right-click on the page and select Set as Default Template.
That’s it. OneNote will remember your page as a template and as soon as you try to create a new page in the same section, it will use the template and create an identical OneNote page.

I am using the Onenote application on my MacBook, and I was not able to see the “Go to Insert > Page Templates” within the desktop app? Is this feature only available for Windows versions?
