One Note App or Desktop?
Microsoft are indeed phasing out OneNote 2016 over time. They have created an FAQ about the fate of OneNote 2016 and the importance of OneNote app here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/frequently-asked-questions-about-onenote-in-office-2019-6582c7ae-2ec6-408d-8b7a-3ed71a3c2103
I loved being able to package a notebook and send it to a colleague. I created page templates in the OneNote 2016 notebook, could share standard content, and maintain consistent looks and feel this way. I think it will take longer than they think to migrate all of the features in OneNote 2016 to the OneNote for Windows app. Look at how long it is taking MS to get the full Office feature set into Office online apps. I think they need to re-think their timeline. It is hard enough to keep folks from going to Google without these kind of Google decisions.
