OneNote and SharePoint

Why is the latest updated versions of OneNote not available in SharePoint sites.  Only being in the app launcher means that people can only save into their Onedrive accounts, without the ability to move it to the site that is relevant i.e. Mrs Joe's Y9 Maths class.

  • Hey John,

     

    I'm the Product Manager for OneNote's apps. Can you please explain a bit more about what the problem is? If you're able to tell us the exact steps, it'll help us get to the bottom of this issue.

     

    Thanks,

      Hi.  When you go to SharePoint sites, add an app, the only OneNote app is out of date and not supported anymore with updates.  This means it is difficult to encourage teachers to use SharePoint sites as a go to place for students.  It is easier to click the app in the launcher, and this is then

        Ah, I see. You're referring to the OneNote Class Notebook Creator, not OneNote Online. While we still support the old SharePoint version of the Class Notebook Creator, we recommend using the new version available at https://www.onenote.com/classnotebook. This new has many new features and is far superior to what you had before.

         

        Please give that one a try and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

  • Isn't this part of the reason they introduced Classroom, as in that the OneNote is stored with the class(implemented as a group)?

     

    It would be handy to have the faciity in standard sites though.
