OneNote is a fantastic note-taking tool and is available on both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. A recent update has added several new improvements that will help you stay organized while improving your experience with the app.

With this update, you now have better control over your notes. You can move or copy pages and sections to keep everything organized. You can also automatically transform your drawings into shapes, as well as use Office Lens from inside OneNote to capture a document or whiteboard. Previously, you were able to useOffice Lensto scan a document and send toOneNote. With this update, you can scan from within the OneNote app.

The latest update to OneNote now lets you see where others are working with you in a shared notebook, which can come in quite useful. You can snag the app from the download link below. For those wondering, here’s the full changelog:

Update:Nope, this update was made availableback in late-November. Seems like the only thing new in this update is the splash screen that showcases the old change log making you think these updates are brand new. Thanks, Microsoft. Very informative stuff.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
