Onenote Problems on Chrome OS/Chromebooks
WilliamRichardson thanks a ton for your specific feedback on what doesn't work for you on Chrome OS like mouse interactions and Sticky Notes. We are working on understanding what are the top asks of users on these form factors and shall prioritize implementing them appropriately. However, we don't have any concrete timelines to share as yet. In the mean time, please do continue using OneNote Online to bridge these gaps, and stay tuned for improvements :)
I realize this thread is a few months old, but we (school district) are having the same issue. We cannot Move / Copy pages in the Onenote Chromebook app due to an error: "Can't copy page. Something went wrong. Please try again." Do you experience this as well? The issue persists in a Classroom Notebook, but also happens with a personal notebook as well. We cannot move or copy pages due to this error.
I've installed the Chromebook app on, thinking it would be better than the web version. Unfortunately, it's lacking some key functions necessary to my work flow (For example: Copy a page to another section) and some ease of use functions (highlight a section of text for copying). Preferring to return to the web version that has these functions, I uninstalled the app from my Chromebook. Now whenever I try to open a notebook, Office insists that I install the app. It won't let me back into the web version.
Two questions:
1) In the short term, where's the setting to allow me to use the web version of OneNote?
2) In the longer term, is there a plan to bring some of these essential functions to the app?
Thanks much for listening.
Yes same issues. It is confused if it is a tablet app or a laptop app. Mouse just doesn't work correctly.
It is about 100000000 time less usable then the web version (which I can't use as app always launches!) and also the iOS version.
