Is there Near-realtime sync when inking in onenote Online?
I am still in pursuit of a quasi-realtime collaborative inking solution using onenote for people in various offices. The delays in the 2016 desktop app are too long.
I am wondering if, with the intro of inking online, there is a faster sync if both users (in diff offices) are inking in edge.
Has anybody tested this? Hasn't rolled out to my tenant yet.
Still not very fast. It looks like it is acceptable lag for single strokes but the sync waits for a cluster of strokes to be complete (e.g. a drawing) before synchronizing the strokes all at once. This makes it much less useful for realtime sync because, not only does one have to wait for the person to finish his/her drawing but it also takes a long time to sync all the strokes at once, making the delay unbearable.
This is what microsoft has been working on. Looks like you can collaborate across multiple devices. I don't know if this will be available for non-surface devices.
