Microsoft Teams is a communications platform that combines chat, video meetings, and app integrations to create a hub for teamwork.

One of the OneNote integrations in Teams is the add tab app, which is used to add a OneNote tab to any chat or team channel. Users would then be able to quickly access their notes from within the context of their conversations.

I redesigned the experience to simplify the flow, align with current patterns, and address common user problems, such as needing to create a new section for the Teams channel.

Since the redesign, we’ve seen a huge growth in selections of existing notebooks alongside a decrease in notebook creation.
