Difference between Groove zync and One Note Zync

[X-Amish]

I have been using Groove for some time now and like it because it is vary
simple to keep in zync with all my coworkers. My question is this...how is ON
different then Groove when it come to staying in zync with my coworkers? Does
it pretty much work the same way?

As far as synchronization is concerned, there is a big difference between the
sync feature of OneNote and Groove. I don't know if you have tried this but
with Microsoft Office Groove you can synchronize your files and other items
on your Groove workspace with your co-workers as long as you have an internet
connection. I think the synchronization feature in OneNote requires that you
and your co-workers should be in the same Local Area Network.

No, it is not the same. Groove syncs on a file level. So for example, if
you use Groove with a OneNote notebook, then each section is synced at
once, because one file represents a section. With OneNote sync, each
item on the page can be synced separately. So for example, with Groove
sync, no two people can work in the same OneNote section at the same
time, or you have a serious problem. With OneNote sync, two people can
work on the same page at the same time (one should avoid working on the
same note container though) and there is no problem at all to combine
the work of both people together.
