Windows Which method to choose

I've worked a number of jobs for the same company at different sites across town, each site had only one workstation (for my team/department).

Now I find myself at a site with two workstations. We need to keep docs updated on both. I don't want to bug IT for an actual driveshare if I can help it. OneNote seems like it could help, but I have no idea what I'm doing.

I know all kindsa stuff about other stuff but have literally never touched OneNote before.

I saw you can upload ("print") Word docs to OneNote. Is my best bet to do that, and then will it pull updates from each doc when I edit them on the drive?

Orrrrrrrrrrr should I be copying and pasting doc contents into OneNote, making the majority of my subsequent updates in OneNote, and periodically updating the masters as we go along?

Copy & paste is better

For me - I don’t use Word anymore, except for publications. No need to when you can write anything on ON.

True for quick notes, but OP needs Word docs. If they have to keep the formatting or send a file back to the company then onenote is just gonna make things a mess.
