Last weekend, Microsoft quietly pushed OneNote early test updates to users participating in the beta program This update provides a new navigation UI layout for the sidebar and a visual refresh to make it consistent with the design of windows 11.
The new sidebar expands all chapters and notes by default, and the synchronization function has also been greatly improved. The app also feels agile, and fillets are now visible throughout the app, but there is no indication that touch and pen and other features are part of the current uwp version. It is worth noting that Microsoft is still redesigning, and the screenshots released last year seem to indicate that more design changes are in progress.
OneNote has changed a lot over the past few years. In 2018, when Microsoft wants users to use the uwp version of OneNote, the company will no longer use the original and feature rich version of OneNote as pre installed office Application.
Later, Microsoft overturned its decision and began to push new functions to Win32 clients. Users who prefer more features than the nature and design of uwp are dissatisfied with Microsoft's treatment of Win32 clients, which persuaded the company to start bundling Win32 versions in office 2019 or 365 again.
