OneNote for Android: what’s new

  3. Real-time note sharing – OneNote for Android will now allow you to apply a page style, file the note to a different notebook, add the note to your home screen, delete, and share notes in real-time, enhancing collaboration and even sharing knowledge.
  4. Insert shapes in ink mode – By tapping the + icon, you’ll be able to switch to ink mode.
  5. Insert tables – You’ll now be able to add a table to your notes, by clicking on the icon on your contextual command bar. You can also customize your table.
  6. Update font color and style – OneNote for Android will make it possible for you to customize your notes according to your liking.
  7. Update page color and style – You’ll be able to select the perfect hue to set the mood or choose from rule lines to enhance the structure of your notes.
