Plus, Microsoft has announced that OneNote is part of its Fluid Framework plans. Those will make their way to the desktop application over the next year-and-a-half, with becoming available within the first half of 2020. That means the 2016 desktop app is getting more features in addition to a dark mode.Īccording to The Verge, the features coming to the app include for OneNote inside of Microsoft Teams, search integration to make it easier to find stuff inside notes, Tasks and To Do integration, as well as some accessibility features. OneNote product manager Ben Hodes has announced at a Microsoft Ignite session that his team is merging all its modern code back into the legacy 2016 codebase. Well, somewhere along the way, the company must've had a change of heart. The tech giant previously said that it would no longer be updating that particular application and will be focusing on the separate OneNote app for Windows 10 instead. A few days ago, Microsoft revived the OneNote 2016 desktop app (released with Office 2016) with an update that gives it the ability to go dark.
