OneNotePM The Office 365 message center announcement listed "OneNote in Teams will be read-only for commercial tenants, excluding EDU. Users can go to OneNote for the web for editing" but that is not mentioned in this article. I just tested with OneNote in Teams and see a banner that shows "We're experiencing limitations with OneNote in Microsoft Teams. Please use OneNote for the web to edit this notebook."
I understand the need to make adjustments during this time but can you explain how this change technically helps?
We have encouraged OneNote use in Teams as we are rolling out the product in our org. One of the great advantages of Teams is being able to collaborate in a single pane of glass. Having to open OneNote via a browser instance or OneNote application to edit degrades that experience.

mtilson Exact same here. It would have helped if the usual support channels caught this and notified tenant admins so we could prep our business...
* Twitter @MSFT365Status and @OfficeSupport don't know what I'm asking.
* No mention in the tenant service health, or message center.
* Unified Support ticket in 24 hours, no reply which is V. strange as it's normally more responsive.
A bit of googling for "We're experiencing limitations with OneNote in Microsoft Teams. Please useOneNote for the web to edit this notebook" and I found this page.
This goes in a 180 direction to the guidance MS have been giving on Teams... one-stop-shop etc. We can't go down that path, build adoption and then do a u-turn on an important feature such as OneNote. It makes no difference to the file sizes either, won't work for new OneNotes either... we had a blank screen for the bulk of a day there.
This type of thing makes adoption managers look like cretins.
