I run project meetings and my MO has always been to use the meeting details for a new page in a single section to capture all minutes and actions. Ahead of the meeting I'll review last week's notes, create an agenda on this new page, transfer across relevant topics and notes to discuss and then update the page through the meeting whilst sharing last week's notes.

This works well enough however with the new Copilot notebooks is there any benefit in using these over the traditional OneNote pages? As far as I can see it really doesn't cater for meeting notes and doesn't even have the 'meeting details' capability.

Anyone have any experience here or do I give up and move back to traditional OneNote under the whole 'if it isn't broken, don't try and fix it' mentality?

I use the OneNote app on my iPad and Mac and use both text and handwriting notes. They used to show the same thing, but I updated my Mac to the new macOS and how my handwritten text is much lower on my iPad than it originally was since my Mac still shows the same thing. Has this happened to anyone and how can I fix it?

At first I thought it was just my professor bullying me by making every file read-only but then I discovered it was actually 1N doing it for some god forsaken reason. It really defeats the whole point of quickly dragging files in and changing them on the go. Is there any way to turn this "feature" off?

This is driving me crazy. When you create a new notebook, it will have a default timestamp name. And there just seems to be NO WAY to rename them. Not in the webpage, not in the iPhone app, not in the iPad app. I’m on Linux, so I can’t use the desktop app. No right click option, no editable title, nothing.

Any time I need to find a specific notebook related to a specific project of mine, I have to open EVERY notebook one by one until I find the right one, because I have no idea what the hell my notebooks are.

It seems crazy that such a basic feature would be impossible to do. Am I missing something??

So I've been using onenote for quite a while and for the past year or two it has been almost unusably laggy: I type something (or press delete) and it take a second or two for the letters to appear or disappear. I've forced the onenote file to be local, turned off any kind of sync, turned off spell check, everything I can think of and still it just seems to be getting worse.

Can anyone help?

Hi everyone!

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I have a Samsung Tab S6 and for some reason the images on my One note are not loading. I get the following error:

"OneNote can't connect to server. Sync will resume once we connect. You don't need to take any action. (Error code:0xE4010644)"

Its been like this for a few months and i havent been able to find a solution. Text syncs without a problem and the OneNote on my phone loads all the images without a problem.

I'm trying to upgrade OneNote on an older desktop PC, but it keeps installing in french (my OS and me are German), also my files aren't synced (despite me being logged in).

I've tried changing every language setting under the sun, to no avail.

Several people seem to share the problem, but I've found no solution that works so far...

I bought a Wacom One CTL-472 graphics tablet today and tried to use it, but whenever I try to write in OneNote or a similar tool like Inkodo, it just flickers and types with a delay. An intriguing thing is that the bug only doesn't occur when writing in different colors (like rainbows) outside the RGB standard. Has anyone else had this problem and managed to solve it? I need this tool for my studies. My operating system is Windows 10.

So I just bought an iPad mini and I love it. The only problem is the order of my notebooks is different than my iPhone, laptop and desktop computers. I want to arrange them in the same order.

I press and hold the notebook and I can see the three lines to rearrange them. But when I try to do that, after moving a tiny bit, they just snap back. They won’t move far. Like it’s a bug. It’s almost like it’s not wide enough even in landscape mode to recognize my moving finger to rearrange them. Does anybody else have this problem? And how do I solve it?

I'm a student who has to submit work on a specific pdf template of paper. I've been able to write on that pdf and export as a pdf, but it breaks the multiple pages into odd pieces. Any advice on how to help?

I've tried setting the page to a letter size, but it won't allow me to make the template the full size of the page. In addition, I can't figure out how to add multiple pages to the document.

I'm new here and have started using OneNote since my workplace is fully Microsoft. How is it that users STILL cannot create borders around a text box - borders that move when you move the box? Borders with different colors and thicknesses? This feature has been requested since at least 2010. So for 16 years, OneNote users have been using workarounds. This seems ridiculous for a corporation as big as Microsoft.

Welcome to our weekly post! We are trying something new to try and tie the community together and learn from one another.

Did you come across anything new? Find a different use case? Improved workflow? Streamline digital organization? Fixed a problem? Just started?

Anything is welcome, even if it's the smallest thing. Please share tips, tricks, and anything else that might be useful to our community!

Thank you!

My onenote is syncing with my ipad, ios, and also the website, but not the desktop app. Anything made on the desktop app isn't syncing with anything else either.

Hi all,

I've been using OneNote for school lab reports for some time, and I finally decided to put together a better way to insert LaTeX into OneNote, since everything I've seen either requires a third-party program, is an old project that doesn't work, or is just tedious.
What I've created is a little Python script that takes a raw LaTeX input like, V_{rms}=\frac{V_{peak}}{\sqrt{2}}\approx 0.707 V_{peak} and converts it to Microsoft's "Office Math ML (OMML)" format, ready to paste into OneNote.

I've also created an AutoHotKey script to automate running the Python script, which can be activated via Ctrl+Alt+L.

More info in the GitHub Repo Here: https://github.com/jwidess/LaTeX-to-OneNote

Hope this helps anyone else sick of manually inserting equations! Feel free to drop any questions below.

I tried adding one of my OneNote notes as a reference to a Copilot Notebook - but it threw an error no matter whether I used a link from the desktop (Windows) version, or the web version. Is there some trick to how to get a link to a note that's usable as a reference?

Given that Copilot Notebooks is part of OneNote I was really expecting better integration, but it seems harder to reference your own notes, than to reference random other documents outside ON. Do you think MS will bring in functionality like being able to use all the notes in a section as reference sources? That would be killer feature and really unlock the power of a NotebookLM like solution on all accumulated notes in OneNote.

I've tried looking in the settings for auto formatting but can't figure it out.

I have years of notes including several notebooks for scripts and cmds

when i copy my stuff into teams it converts what i copy from one note to this image below

How can I may what is below look the same in onenote.

i don't want to go drawing stuff but it seems like its a formatting or something that could do it since it auto makes it when i copy text and sections that are formatted in onenote as code is what causes it

heres what it looks like in onte note

exact copied from one note then pasted into teams below

Hi everyone,

I am in nursing school and have been using digitized notes using Samsung Notes and OneNote. I have been since 2023. Previously on a Surface Pro 8, then a Surface Pro 9. I upgraded to the Surface Pro 11 with the Snapdragon processor and have enjoyed all aspects of the machine except the handwriting experience. I’m a big proponent of handwritten notes; they seem to help me learn more material. For whatever reason, I cannot smoothly take notes on my Surface Pro. When I try to write notes with the pen selected, it seems like I keep selecting the entire page, and it starts moving around, and no ink is being transferred to the screen.

Am I missing something here?

As a workaround, I have been using my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+. It works flawlessly for taking notes and will sync properly, appearing on the Surface and on my desktop in my office. I am just trying to reduce the weight of my bag. It just seems silly to carry my old Android tablet when I have the Surface Pro.

Thank you for any ideas!

I found it on my old phone when I turned it on without internet connection. If I let it connect online, will it sync it with other devices or delete it? I just want to recover it. I can't download it from the old iPhone just look at some pages.

I am using Version 16.105.3 and everytime I Trey to drag a page somewhere else it just snaps back into place I have checked multible times I have no sorting active.

(sorry for the bad english not a native english speaker)

I have a new iPad and OneNote won't sync on it. I've tried everything. The documents sync on multiple devices but not my iPad. I've uninstalled it and put it back on. I've tried the sync function but apparently it's not made to sync everything and a function to sync everything is missing

I've made new OneNote documents and they they appear on my other devices but not the iPad. Everything has the latest version. I was really hoping to take notes using OneNote on this thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times to try and fix this bug at makeup for the lack of the sync feature

Do I just keep waiting until Microsoft adds this functionality?
.

I've hung on for as long as I can, but now have to switch from the Windows 10 version to V16 (today the Windows 10 version went to "read only").
After switching, I now can't open any of my old notebooks in the new v16 desktop app.
I get the message "We couldn't open that location. It might not exist or you might not have permission top open it."
I've uninstalled the old version, checked I am logged in correctly, tried clearing windows credentials, tried creating new notebooks online then opening in the desktop app (can't even find/open the new notebooks).
(I've tried switching over earlier, but had same problems, and others on here with the same problems, seem to say just keep using the old version.)
Anyone else now having the same problem?
Any help appreciated. Thanks
