OneNote - Inserting Code Blocks
Are there any plans for a way to format code blocks in OneNote without inserting a 1 column/row table or an ugly print out? The most relevant Google search brings up a post from 2018 where the top answer says its been requested on UserVoice and directs OP there, but 3 years later, still no code block formatting options and Microsoft isn't using UserVoice anymore so I don't where else I can submit feature requests besides this discussion board. Thanks!OneNote vs. OneNote for Windows 10
I received an email this morning reminding me of the impending end of support for the OneNote for Windows 10 app. As I do periodically when I am reminded about this, I launched the OneNote on Windows (OneNote M365) app and lamented how much less user friendly it is than its doomed cousin. The lack of a "Recent Notes" view is my biggest gripe, but the awkward "pop-over" search comes a close second. The tabs and search result are on an ugly grey background and everything is just slightly too small to read comfortably. Am I the only one?Sync Free/Busy Between Calendars In The Same Tenant
TL;DR: How to sync free/busy from one calendar (e.g. personal) to another (e.g. business) in the same tenant? I principally use two mailboxes (email & calendar) within my tenant, one for personal use and one for business use. I also use Microsoft Bookings linked to my business calendar. I am finding that people are booking time with me via Microsoft Bookings when I am already busy because the meeting I am busy in is on my personal calendar. How do I send free/busy information from my personal calendar to my business calendar? Microsoft Support have simply said 'this is not possible', but I know that worst case I can use Power Automate to create a 'placeholder' appointment item in one calendar when triggered by an appointment being created in another. But this seems like a right faff! There must be an easier way?
Markdown and OneNote
2025 and still no markdown support in OneNote(touch supported version). This is Post ChatGPT era and all the LLMs generate text in markdown format. And I am pretty sure, a lot of people out there nowadays generate quick and concise notes through LLMs. But no, OneNote does not wanna render markdown. However, keeping source formatting can format text somewhere close to LLMs output. But not perfectly. The code snippets and tables does not render and appear as a mess. In simple words, I cannot copy LLM output for "Give me code examples of Rust's thread::spawn() function" directly into OneNote because it will be just appear gibberish. NOTE: There are two types of copying. 1) Select text and copy 2) Dedicated copy button in LLM output. So when I say copy I mean *2 as it preserves the markdown syntax.SharePoint Framework (SPFx) The Modern Development Model for SharePoint

OneNote web clipper needs a real feedback option
Long ago, the OneNote web clipper had a feedback button and it's still referenced in some support suggestions like https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5339455/onenote-web-clipper-has-stopped-working-again If you are signed in with a Microsoft account rather than an org account (which some of our users do because both Edge and OneNote let you use both org and Microsoft accounts together quite happily and because the OneNote web clipper is used on personal devices as well, not just managed devices where we can be sure the org account is available), there is no feedback button, so you can't tell the Microsoft team that a web page didn't clip properly. Like clipping https://deno.com/blog/updates-from-tc39 in article mode loses a lot of important text from the first list and drops all the headings just because they have anchors on, which strips out important structural information because now you don't have headings between the sections. The web clipper is a key tool for OneNote in orgs but doesn't have a good feedback channel for bringing up web pages where the clipping model needs to be updated. Even longer ago when the clipper was new, every page clipped included a feedback option; it would be nice if that came back as an option you could turn on from either the clipper or the OneNote application so we could submit information more easily.How do I change the alert sounds in Outlook for Mac?
How do I change the alert sounds in Outlook for Mac? When I go to Preferences, then Notifications and Sounds, the dropdown menu for Sound Set says Default. There is no other choice of sound sets on that menu. When I click the arrow next to the individual events (New message, Message sent, Reminder, etc.) it plays a sound for each--apparently the only sound available. I've Googled up a few suggestions that didn't work: I went into System Preferences > Notifications and deleted Outlook from the list of applications, then restarted Outlook. No change in Outlook Preferences. I added some new sound files (various formats--.wav, .mp3, .m4a, .aiff) to user>Library>Sounds and restarted my Mac. I still don't have any new options in Outlook Preferences. I found instructions for creating a new sound set in an existing Outlook Sound Sets folder located in user>Library>Group Containers>UBF8T346G9.Office>Outlook>Outlook Sound Sets. I put the same new sounds there. I tried it with them loose in the Outlook Sound Sets folder, and also with them contained in a new folder titled "my new sound set." I quit and restarted Outlook. It didn't give me any new options in Outlook preferences. I have a current Office 365 subscription on a MacBook Pro. The Outlook version is 16.42. I'm running Mac OS 10.14 Mojave.How to troubleshoot onboarding devices to the new Apps Admin Center
For the latest information regarding onboarding and inventory, visit: Onboarding Devices in the Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center - Microsoft Tech Community Hi everyone, the Microsoft 365 Apps Rangers would like to share some tips & tricks with you on our latest set of features released to the Apps Admin Center. No idea what we’re talking about? Take a minute and review the Road map to modern management for Microsoft 365 Apps. This article will highlight how you can benefit from these new features (Apps health, Inventory, Servicing Profiles and Monthly Enterprise Channel). Takes just 5 minutes! When you enable the new inventory feature (preview) and start getting insights across all the Microsoft 365 Apps installed and connected to your tenant, you might run into scenarios where some devices do not appear in the portal. Below you will find the two most common root causes for devices not showing up in inventory and steps on how you can resolve them: The device is running a version of Microsoft 365 Apps that does not support inventory. The device cannot connect to the Apps Admin Center due to a failure retrieving the Tenant Association Key. This post will walk you through the steps to identify and fix these issues. We will do our best to update and expand this post as issues are identified. Step 1 - Identify devices that are running an outdated build of the Microsoft 365 Apps First things first: we need to check if your devices are running a version of the Microsoft 365 Apps that supports the new features in Apps Admin Center. This is a prerequisite for onboarding devices to the new service. The Microsoft 365 Apps need to be running version 2008 (16.0.13127.21064) or higher. Here are the steps: If you are running Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, implement dynamic collections to identify which channels are actually in use. Then implement a dynamic collection to identify devices which are running releases older than version 2008. The first set of dynamic collections will show you which channels are in use within your environment. Deploy the latest update to the collection containing devices running releases older than version 2008. Trigger a Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle for all contained devices. They will only download the deltas for their matching channel. Monitor progress. To speed things up, trigger the following actions: Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle Software Updates Scan Cycle Hardware Inventory Cycle If you find some devices are not moving, review the ConfigMgr agent. Consider repairing the ConfigMgr agent and/or verifying that the devices can access their update source. When this step is completed, all devices should be running on version 2008 or newer. Within a few hours they should start registering with the new service and appearing in inventory. Step 2 - Identify devices that have not onboarded with Apps Admin Center The next step is to identify devices that meet the minimum app version requirement, but failed at one of the following stages: Making the initial connection to the Apps Admin Center by fetching and storing the Tenant Association Key used to connect to the service. Collect and upload the initial inventory. The net result of both issues is that the devices are not visible in the Apps Admin Center. The Ranger team has crafted a configuration baseline for Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to help automate the detection and remediation of these issues. The content is provided AS-IS and is hosted on GitHub for your reference. To leverage the baseline, proceed as follows: Download and import the baseline. Deploy the baseline to your devices with remediation turned off. Run a report on the baseline results to review how many devices are impacted. You can use the built-in report: Summary compliance by configuration items for a configuration baseline. To remediate non-compliant devices with a missing Tenant Association Key, update the configuration item with your tenant’s unique key. Note: Do not generate a new Tenant Association Key in the Apps Admin Center, just copy and insert the existing one. Enable remediation for your baseline deployment and verify if devices start to appear in inventory. The remediation script will stamp the Tenant Association Key into the registry, which acts as a token to make the connection to your tenant. This will mitigate any issues which are rooted in the device’s inability to fetch the key for itself. With the next launch of an Office application, the onboarding process should kick off and the device should become visible in inventory within the next few hours. Feedback We value your feedback as you use the Apps Admin Center and if you wish, you can use the feedback tool in Apps Admin Center to provide feedback directly to the team working on the different features. Optionally you can also add your email address to the feedback, so the team can get in contact with you. Wrap-up At the time of writing this post, the Apps Admin Center features (Apps health, inventory, and Servicing Profiles) are in Public Preview, so things might change over time. We will try to keep this post as current as possible. We are happy to answer any questions or take your feedback in the comments below. The Ranger team is a small team of die-hard experts when it comes to deploying, servicing and managing Microsoft 365 Apps. The above guidance is based on our experience working during the Preview phase with the new products and is provided as-is. In addition to this information, we have an Ignite session available for viewing that walks through the device onboarding process in greater detail.

I open OneNote on my iPhone 12, the line at the bottom of the screen blinks over and over and I cannot get the keyboard to come up and stay up. Every time I touch the screen it comes up and then drops back down. Anyone else seen this? Was going to call help desk but thought I’d see if this was also out here in the community. Thanks y’all. Took a video of it too. I’m tapping the screen every time you see the keyboard come up.
Microsoft 365 Apps admin center - No Devices Being Managed?
We are an Office 365 E3 customer, and have configured Cloud Update for our devices. However, devices are not updating, and I see the message "0/27 devices are being managed by Cloud". Any idea what I need to do to get updates rolling out? Thanks!
