Microsoft OneNote iPhone, iPad, & Mac apps updated with new features

Microsoft updated its OneNote apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac today with a number of highly requested features including the ability to insert files, lock and unlock protected sections, PDF printouts, and much more.

In addition, the update also includes the ability to organize notebooks by moving and reordering sections and pages, support for formatted text copied from other apps, and an option to create notebooks and save them to OneDrive for Business.

The updated Microsoft OneNote for iPhone and for iPad is available on the App Store now. A full list of what’s new is below:

What’s New in Version 2.3

•Insert Files – You asked, we listened. Now you can insert files into your notes, open them with a double-tap, and easily share them using AirDrop.
•Protected Sections – Now you can lock or unlock password-protected sections created in OneNote for Windows.
•PDF Printouts – Add a PDF printout to any notebook page, then add your own notes.
•Organize Notebooks – Now you can move and reorder sections, and move pages anywhere you want in OneNote.
•Formatted Text – Copy and paste formatted text between application – whether it’s an article from Safari or a document in Word, any content you paste into OneNote will look great!
•Creating Notebooks – Now you can create notebooks and save them to OneDrive for Business. Have multiple accounts? No problem! It’s easy to select exactly where you want to store your new notebook.

The Microsoft OneNote for Mac app gets a similar update today plus the ability to share a page from OneNote through email.

    What about… A new Office software for Mac? :(

    How about opening up Office for iOS to non-OneDrive file storage options to make it comply with local privacy laws of other countries, and making it a one-time purchase instead of a bloody monthly subscription?

    Microsoft = Adobe = CROOKS

      spot on.

      The first one will be added this fall – Apple showed a screenshot of Microsoft’s updated Word for iOS, and it supports multiple storage options (OneDrive, Box, Dropbox and iCloud Drive, if I remembered correctly). I agree with your second opinion.

  3. I really think microsoft won’t spent too much on a new Office Mac because they are pushing towards Office 365 and you only build one software works on both platforms.
