OneNote for Mac is freely available on the Mac App Store likewise OneNote for iOS is a free download on the App Store The overhauled interface has also been applied to Microsoft's web app.
The new design philosophy also brings greater interface consistency across Mac, iPhone, and iPad, enabling users to transition between devices quickly and easily, which Microsoft hopes will benefit those with visual impairments and also help in learning environments where device variety is increasingly common. On Mac, each pane can also be resized by moving the mouse pointer over the vertical edge and click-dragging it. To open a different notebook, users can click the Show Notebooks button and select it in the list, while options for creating new notebooks/sections/pages now appear at the bottom of the associated navigation panes. To switch to any other page or section, users can click its name in the navigation panes, or Control-click the name of any page or section and then choose from more options.
In addition, content is front and center-helping students to focus and avoid distractions. With the new consolidated and simplified design, screen readers can easily navigate through the app to help those with disabilities. This allows users to easily switch between their notes and dramatically improves usability with assistive technologies.
As a result, the new interface places all navigation panes in one collapsible area on the left-hand side of the app, instead of having menus for notebooks and sections/pages on either side of the window. Microsoft said it has listened to user feedback to learn how it could improve the navigational layout of the note-taking apps, especially for larger digital notebooks with more sections. The update to the note-taking platform introduces a new interface that aims to enhance usability for users of assistive technologies, simplify navigation controls, and create consistency across devices, according to the company. This week, Microsoft took the unusual step of pushing out a redesigned version of OneNote for Mac and iOS ahead of its release on Windows and Android.
