I am still new to Mathematica but advancing to a point of programming notebook and cell manipulations using native commands. Sometimes they call for specifying InputeNotebook[] while at other times they call for EvaluationNotebook[]. What are their key differences?

If I am only working with a single open notebook which type do I have?

If my current open notebook is notebook.nb and wish to load a function saved to function.nb which type are they?

If I am unsure of which type I have which is the safest to use?

    $\begingroup$ In your case you can use both. The second one is useful when the UI, e.g. Button is a part of a palette. Then in context of evaluation that happens after pressing the button the EvalNb is the palette and the InputNb is the 'regular' notebook that is selected/active. $\endgroup$ – Kuba♦ Oct 22 '20 at 6:26
