OneNote for iPhone and iPad updated with new file insert feature and more
My biggest request is for them to add free form hand writing.
Yeah, that'd be a great complement for all these features.
Great update. I've been liking what microsofts been doing with these apps lately
Oneone update for Mac has been released.
Yep, and the "Lock protected sections" and "Unlock section" appear to be greyed out. I tried locking and unlocking a section on PC OneNote notebook, but nothing changes in Mac OneNote- it still appears to not work with protected sections. Let me know if missing something!
I wanted to be able to lock a section directly from OSX, but seems you can only unlock/lock if it was previously done on windows. And if it is, I can't see that option.
It's a revolution, Microsoft finally implemented drag&drop on Mac.
Great! Hopefully OneDrive for Business for OS X will be released soon.
