How can we get Microsoft to sync OneNote read/unread status across devices?

When I read an unread update in OneNote (based on bold font identification) on my desktop, my laptop has no idea that I read it already. I then have to manually mark items as read on my laptop. I would really love it if my devices were in sync in regards to "read" status just like email/exchange does.

 

On the User Voice, this has been pasted in https://onenote.uservoice.com/forums/327186-onenote-for-windows/suggestions/6291915-read-status-synchronization-between-devices and in https://onenote.uservoice.com/forums/327186-onenote-for-windows/suggestions/32920480-read-unread-and-owner-marks-between-multiple-devic.

 

Given I'm synced fully in the cloud through O365, OneDrive, Exchange, SharePoint, Sticky Notes, Teams, etc. this is the ONLY annoyance I have in regards to synchronization. Perhaps I should have posted in this community much earlier (as UserVoice may not be monitored by MS much)?

  • I have the same issue with accessing OneNote notebooks on a different computer but same account and it marks section as Unread.
