What's New in the Latest OneNote for Windows 10 Update

Microsoft OneNote is a versatile part of the Office suite and available as a free download. Alongside OneNote 2016, there's a dedicated OneNote app for Windows 10. We've compared both versions to help you decide: desktop app or Store app? Which free OneNote should you use on Windows?

One key benefit of the OneNote Windows 10 app is its regular updates—unlike the desktop version. The latest update brings exciting enhancements. Here's what you'll find:

• Click and drag your notebooks to reorder them effortlessly.
• Add password protection for extra security: right-click a section, select Password Protection > Add Password. Remember it, or you'll be locked out of that section.
• The Draw tab's shapes gallery now includes flowchart tools like circles and arrows.
• Right-click images or files in shared notebooks to save them directly to your computer.

• Add new pages below the current one, not just at the bottom.
• Use layers to adjust the order of tables, images, and shapes (front or back).
• Reorder or collapse text sections with new paragraph controls.
• Choose from various bullet styles beyond the standard circles.
