Microsoft 365 OneNote Desktop vs. OneNote Online

If you are a Microsoft OneNote user, be aware there are different versions accessible to you as a UW-Madison employee.  Campus offers both a OneNote desktop client and OneNote Online.  Both can be utilized and authenticated with your NetID@wisc.edu which will sync to your UW-Madison OneDrive account. Some users prefer the look of OneNote Online over the OneNote desktop client.  See images below for a quick comparison.

If you would like to transition to the OneNote Online version please let our team know at IT Support Request
