Please be sure to also check back here regularly, since updates will continue to be made as these amazing products change and adapt to meet the evolving needs of users.

The company is also working on a new sync engine that provides near-instantaneous updates across Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and the Web.One of the most commonly asked questions when delivering training on OneNote is: “Which version should I use?” The aim of this blog post is to dispel the confusion and explain the differences between the two OneNote versions-OneNote and OneNote 2016-to help you decide which is the best choice for you and your needs! Right now, there are some features found in the desktop app not present in the UWP Microsoft is working to fill in the gaps, with features such as tags and Class Notebook support coming later this year.

Clean installations of Office 2019 won't include OneNote 2016 by default, but if it's already there, it won't be harmed by upgrading. Microsoft has already said that Office 2019 will require Windows 10-it's the only version of Windows still in mainstream support-so the switch to using a UWP app should be fairly transparent. But new features are going to be reserved for UWP version.

The existing desktop application, OneNote 2016, will continue to be supported in maintenance mode, receiving bug fixes through October 2020 and security fixes until October 2025.

In Office 2019 shipping later this year, that new version of OneNote is moving to the foreground and will become the primary version of OneNote. While the main Office apps remain traditional desktop Windows applications, Microsoft has been developing a modern version of OneNote using the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) APIs for some years it's arguably one of the more complex and capable UWP applications available today.
