OneNote - Inserting Code Blocks
Are there any plans for a way to format code blocks in OneNote without inserting a 1 column/row table or an ugly print out? The most relevant Google search brings up a post from 2018 where the top answer says its been requested on UserVoice and directs OP there, but 3 years later, still no code block formatting options and Microsoft isn't using UserVoice anymore so I don't where else I can submit feature requests besides this discussion board.

For the latest information regarding onboarding and inventory, visit: Onboarding Devices in the Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center - Microsoft Tech Community Hi everyone, the Microsoft 365 Apps Rangers would like to share some tips & tricks with you on our latest set of features released to the Apps Admin Center. No idea what we’re talking about? Take a minute and review the Road map to modern management for Microsoft 365 Apps. This article will highlight how you can benefit from these new features (Apps health, Inventory, Servicing Profiles and Monthly Enterprise Channel). Takes just 5 minutes! When you enable the new inventory feature (preview) and start getting insights across all the Microsoft 365 Apps installed and connected to your tenant, you might run into scenarios where some devices do not appear in the portal. Below you will find the two most common root causes for devices not showing up in inventory and steps on how you can resolve them: The device is running a version of Microsoft 365 Apps that does not support inventory. The device cannot connect to the Apps Admin Center due to a failure retrieving the Tenant Association Key. This post will walk you through the steps to identify and fix these issues. We will do our best to update and expand this post as issues are identified. Step 1 - Identify devices that are running an outdated build of the Microsoft 365 Apps First things first: we need to check if your devices are running a version of the Microsoft 365 Apps that supports the new features in Apps Admin Center. This is a prerequisite for onboarding devices to the new service. The Microsoft 365 Apps need to be running version 2008 (16.0.13127.21064) or higher. Here are the steps: If you are running Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, implement dynamic collections to identify which channels are actually in use. Then implement a dynamic collection to identify devices which are running releases older than version 2008. The first set of dynamic collections will show you which channels are in use within your environment. Deploy the latest update to the collection containing devices running releases older than version 2008. Trigger a Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle for all contained devices. They will only download the deltas for their matching channel. Monitor progress. To speed things up, trigger the following actions: Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle Software Updates Scan Cycle Hardware Inventory Cycle If you find some devices are not moving, review the ConfigMgr agent. Consider repairing the ConfigMgr agent and/or verifying that the devices can access their update source. When this step is completed, all devices should be running on version 2008 or newer. Within a few hours they should start registering with the new service and appearing in inventory. Step 2 - Identify devices that have not onboarded with Apps Admin Center The next step is to identify devices that meet the minimum app version requirement, but failed at one of the following stages: Making the initial connection to the Apps Admin Center by fetching and storing the Tenant Association Key used to connect to the service. Collect and upload the initial inventory. The net result of both issues is that the devices are not visible in the Apps Admin Center. The Ranger team has crafted a configuration baseline for Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to help automate the detection and remediation of these issues. The content is provided AS-IS and is hosted on GitHub for your reference. To leverage the baseline, proceed as follows: Download and import the baseline. Deploy the baseline to your devices with remediation turned off. Run a report on the baseline results to review how many devices are impacted. You can use the built-in report: Summary compliance by configuration items for a configuration baseline. To remediate non-compliant devices with a missing Tenant Association Key, update the configuration item with your tenant’s unique key. Note: Do not generate a new Tenant Association Key in the Apps Admin Center, just copy and insert the existing one. Enable remediation for your baseline deployment and verify if devices start to appear in inventory. The remediation script will stamp the Tenant Association Key into the registry, which acts as a token to make the connection to your tenant. This will mitigate any issues which are rooted in the device’s inability to fetch the key for itself. With the next launch of an Office application, the onboarding process should kick off and the device should become visible in inventory within the next few hours. Feedback We value your feedback as you use the Apps Admin Center and if you wish, you can use the feedback tool in Apps Admin Center to provide feedback directly to the team working on the different features. Optionally you can also add your email address to the feedback, so the team can get in contact with you. Wrap-up At the time of writing this post, the Apps Admin Center features (Apps health, inventory, and Servicing Profiles) are in Public Preview, so things might change over time. We will try to keep this post as current as possible. We are happy to answer any questions or take your feedback in the comments below. The Ranger team is a small team of die-hard experts when it comes to deploying, servicing and managing Microsoft 365 Apps. The above guidance is based on our experience working during the Preview phase with the new products and is provided as-is. In addition to this information, we have an Ignite session available for viewing that walks through the device onboarding process in greater detail.

I open OneNote on my iPhone 12, the line at the bottom of the screen blinks over and over and I cannot get the keyboard to come up and stay up. Every time I touch the screen it comes up and then drops back down. Anyone else seen this? Was going to call help desk but thought I’d see if this was also out here in the community. Thanks y’all. Took a video of it too. I’m tapping the screen every time you see the keyboard come up.680Views2likes1CommentMicrosoft 365 Apps admin center - No Devices Being Managed?
We are an Office 365 E3 customer, and have configured Cloud Update for our devices. However, devices are not updating, and I see the message "0/27 devices are being managed by Cloud". Any idea what I need to do to get updates rolling out?

Hi! The white colour option for pens, in the drop-down menu, is now a slightly gray colour (fig. 1). Any time I've ever used this colour on any page has been changed to that gray. (fig. 1: weird gray colour.) When I use the black shades in 'More Colours' to change the pen colour to white instead, it creates a new pen with the same light-gray colour (fig.2). If I attempt to change the colour using the new white colour option, below the 'More Colours' option, it does the same thing! (fig.3) (fig.2 : selecting the pure white shade, with the desired drawing selected.) (fig.3 : the new pen created, in the same colour.) If I then click on the original pen to change it back, it makes a new pen (duplicates the original?) with the original thickness, and it won't let me select the original pen!! But if I open the same, synced page in OneNote 2016, all the light-gray drawing on the page is the correct white!!! (fig.4) (fig.4 : dun dun dun!!!) A baffling mystery. I have reinstalled OneNote for Windows 10, to no avail. Any idea what's going on?AlpappoJun 08, 2025Copper Contributor10KViews4likes11CommentsMarkdown and OneNote
2025 and still no markdown support in OneNote(touch supported version). This is Post ChatGPT era and all the LLMs generate text in markdown format. And I am pretty sure, a lot of people out there nowadays generate quick and concise notes through LLMs. But no, OneNote does not wanna render markdown. However, keeping source formatting can format text somewhere close to LLMs output. But not perfectly. The code snippets and tables does not render and appear as a mess. In simple words, I cannot copy LLM output for "Give me code examples of Rust's thread::spawn() function" directly into OneNote because it will be just appear gibberish. NOTE: There are two types of copying. 1) Select text and copy 2) Dedicated copy button in LLM output. So when I say copy I mean *2 as it preserves the markdown syntax.amarjotJun 08, 2025Copper Contributor115Views0likes0CommentsFeature "Translate" missing in Outlook
The Feature "Translate" is missing in Outlook. We have the latest Update of the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel (Version 2302, Build 16130.20714). The Feature is missing in the ribbon, and also in the Options under "Language". I only have "Office display language" and "Office authoring languages and proofing" but no "Translation". Can it be somehow installed?Martin_WildiJun 06, 2025Copper Contributor7.6KViews0likes7CommentsRecent message move issue in Outlook 365 shared mailbox
Starting around Monday 5/12 (could have been over the weekend) we're seeing behavior where moving an email from one folder to another in a shared mailbox is appearing to move correctly in Outlook software (classic enterprise version) but not reflecting in web view. This creates a duplicate of sorts and have to address on the web side. Same behavior with two different accounts that have access to the same shared mailbox on newest (current channel) and slightly older version of 365 software. When using python automation that has worked for months, it's now effectively creating a copy from Inbox in our In Progress folder, and a 3rd copy in Done folder. When processing cycle hits again, it's reprocessing (bad) and creating a mess of duplicates. Anyone else experiencing this or have any idea what may have happened or how to resolve? Thanks jtSolvedthejtluvJun 05, 2025Copper Contributor137Views0likes3CommentsPlease add Markdown support
Please add support for Markdown editing/rendering. EverNote and Boostnote all support this, but OneNote still lacks this feature, while it remains so many developers' main notetaking tool. Take myself as an example, I enjoy its seamless integration with OneDrive and powerful search function, but find it difficult to properly take down coding related notes -- I was forced to format code snippets into monospaced font with shading to make them look like "code snippets". To elaborate the user story about this idea: The user can create a new "regular page" or a "Markdown page". If the latter, then Markdown tags entered are rendered as you type (e.g. #title, >quote, *bold*, `code`...) The user might also enjoy a "cell editing" mode (similar to Jupyter Notebook). So if the cursor is placed in a cell, then it changes to raw text view. And once escaped from this cell, it gets rendered. And maybe enable some Jupyter/VS Code stype shortcut keys, too (Alt+Up/Down to move the cell, Alt+Shift+Up/Down to duplicate the cell, Ctrl+Shift+K to kill a line, etc) This way notetaking will be more efficient/fun, and many developers would thank MS!frank-yifei-wangJun 05, 2025Steel Contributor116KViews200likes73CommentsMicrosoft 365 Apps Admin Center - Inventory Errors Out
Been running into issues the last few days as I try to swap a handful of devices to a different update channel. I'm able to browse to the Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center (https://config.office.com/), however when I go to Inventory it throws a generic error (it's been happening for 3 days now): There was a problem showing the security update status information. Please refresh the page or try again later. 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 This was working earlier this week (Tuesday 5/13/25) but as of Wednesday it was "broken". Checking to see if other folks are running into this or if we're just the lucky ducks. Several of us within the organization have run into the same error so it's not isolated to any one individual.46Views0likes1Comment
