New layout options
For those who love the left-sided layout on OneNote for the web, OneNote for Mac, and OneNote for iPad, you’ll be thrilled to hear that we’re now bringing this experience to OneNote on Windows client! Using the new Vertical Tabs layout option, you can use a navigation experience similar to other Microsoft 365 apps and services, such as Outlook and Teams.
How it works
Click View > Tabs Layout > Vertical Tabs.
Notice that your notebooks and pages now appear on the left.
Note: If you prefer having the section tabs at the top of the canvas, you can easily switch back by selecting View > Tabs Layout > Horizontal Tabs.
Scenarios to try
In Vertical Tabs layout, collapse the notebook list for a more focused view of your notes by clicking the three-vertical lines button at the top of the notebook list!
