Onenote Problems on Chrome OS/Chromebooks
Can the Onenote for Android team give any info on the state of and plans for Onenote for Android on Chrome OS? I've noticed that even when on the same version number the Chrome OS approved version lags behind both design and feature-wise. For example the Chrome OS version doesn't have sticky notes even when you resize the window to phone size/aspect ratio. Also the typing experience is sub-par at the moment because unlike all the other Office on Android apps, Onenote doesn't accept mouse input except dropping the cursor on a spot on the screen. You can't drag to highlight, double click to highlight, right click for actions or copy/cut/paste functions anywhere in the interface. It makes the experience very unpleasant typing wise. I could use Onenote Online but the feature parity isn't there especially for pen input. It would be much appreciated if the team can speak to any of these concerns. Been an Onenote user since the Surface RT came out so I really want y'all to be great on every platform and dominate the market so please don't take this feedback as negative.Solved9.1KViews2likes9CommentsRe: [Feature request] Bibliography done right
frastudio1905 I second this whole discussion. With Onedrive, Edge, and Access you could see MS easily create a reference manager for Word. It would actually work much like Onedrive Music backup that was included with Groove when it was a thing. Just let us see a list of our PDFs, annotate them, and pull them into Word as references (reference formatting databases are easy to come by). If MS did this it would make Word the king of academics, grad students, and undegrads in research methods classes everywhere.1.8KViews0likes1CommentOneNote for Android Inconsistencies in Tablet Interface
Recently picked up a Pixel Slate and been using the Android Onenote app and I've noticed some weirdness that I think needed to be addressed by the team. The main thing is that even though they are the same version number, Onenote for Android phones (my Pixel 3) has Sticky Note integration while the tablet version for Android tablets/Chrome OS doesn't. It seems to have an older design too versus the Android phone version. I would try and sideload to see if the apks are different but you can't do that yet on Chrome OS. But I think it would be useful to update that tablet interface to at least match what we see in the current iPad version of Onenote. Also when using a keyboard and mouse, unlike the other Android Office apps Onenote doesn't allow you to double click to highlight words/lines of text or right click to take action on them. That's a huge problem that I hope the Onenote team can take care of for us.985Views0likes0Comments
