Microsoft announced a large set of OneNote updates for its popular note-taking application. The service, which serves as a convenient organizational tool for making, and maintaining, a set of notes, is getting a long list of new convenient features.
Among the long list of new features, OneNote will now be able to update while a device is locked, meaning it will not consume active time when the users need to open the application. Aside from this, the application now has an automatic, AI-powered inking tool that allows it to view pen-on-paper writing and transform this into a text-based note document. Additionally, the AI-powered inking tool is case-sensitive, meaning it will recognize titles and subtexts.
Users will also be able to organize OneNote documents more smoothly with the new page sorting features. Users can automatically sort documents by date, alphabetical order, or preferential order, simply by dragging and dropping pages. On top of this, OneNote documents can be shared in full, or by single pages, to a list of applications, such as Gmail or Messenger.
