YUGE BATTERY DRAIN ONENOTE UWP
Since getting a sp7 i5 8gb 128 I've had a massive battery issue with onenote. having it opened basically 24/7 and edge chromium open 24/7 I've got huge drain and it seems to be onenote entirely. talking 30% an hour on battery recommended plan with 50% brightness. i'm not doing anything particularly interesting with it. I've tried resetting it, uninstalling/reinstalling, and it's murdering my battery. see the windows report image. Any ideas?Staff notebook in non education tenants?
The staff notebook looks like a good solution to manage a team as a teamleader. As a teamleader I have one notebook with a section for every employee. According to the documentation this feature is only available for education licensed customers. However, I have seen that these types of notebooks can also be created in a enterprise subscription. Is this a supported scenario? Can we use the types of notebooks with business and enterprise licenses (e.g. E3) as well? Thanks for any feedback.OneNote vs. OneNote for Windows 10
I received an email this morning reminding me of the impending end of support for the OneNote for Windows 10 app. As I do periodically when I am reminded about this, I launched the OneNote on Windows (OneNote M365) app and lamented how much less user friendly it is than its doomed cousin. The lack of a "Recent Notes" view is my biggest gripe, but the awkward "pop-over" search comes a close second. The tabs and search result are on an ugly grey background and everything is just slightly too small to read comfortably. Am I the only one?
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. Thanks!
Please 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!SharePoint links stop working for external Users
SharePoint Shared Document or Directory links stop working for external Users. Happens with several internal team members sharing links with external users. There are no expirations on the links and all settings appears to be set correctly. The links will initially work fine for users, but they seem to stop within 24 hrs. Sometimes they will start working a day later. And it doesn't matter what folder or file is shared. No one seems to be able to figure out what could be going on with this. This has been consistently happening over the last few months. Microsoft Support has not found an answer either. Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions? We are pulling out hair out on this one.
