How To Use Apple Pencil in OneNote on iPad (2024)

[@AldoJames]

📝What was your favourite feature?

[@jovelnom]

The change on the background. By making look like an actual notebook is exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the video.

[@taeniasolium2714]

everything is fine but that keyboard popup every time you long press on page to paste something is really so disturbing. however I converted it into a floating keyboard , but still it's annoying.

The slice to insert or remove space

I purchased an iPad yesterday. I needed this video to jump right in since I am in my second week of grad school and this is the first time I am using an iPad. This video is so comprehensive that I now know everything I need to know. Thanks very much. Good work no crap

I can’t believe OneNote is better in iPad than in Android, I always thought it was just terrible on mobile version but after seeing your video, I’m amazed how good it works, I have a Samsung tab (want to switch to an iPad) so I wanted to know if OneNote was going to be the same… definitely not, way better in iPad.

The Apple Notes is also pretty good on iPad. Doesn’t have all the features of One Note but better with Apple Pencil. I use both for different reasons

[@Me123Mandy]

I switched from my Samsung tablet to an iPad for this very reason, after I got an opportunity to try OneNote on my friend's iPad

[@MitchPickelsimer]

Thanks. I was wondering what the pencil with the “A” on it was for. Everything I drew with it disappeared. Thanks for answering that question for me. Now I know what that pen does.

Thank you! Soooo helpful! ❤

[@eventtrading]

Thanks, Aldo. Superb job. I'm from the "When all else fails read the instructions" school and yours are top shelf.

[@sainaveenkumar7345]

@aldojames can you please tell what is the response of the apple pencil if i double tap the apple pencil in One note?

[@mohammadmustofa129]

Why can’t I insert pdf or anything ? Is it not available on free version?

[@tormenta1209]

I liked learning there is a way to convert your handwritten notes to a typeface font!

[@elspeth-stewart]

Hi - thanks for the tutorial! Do you have a tutorial showing how to 'write to text' over the top of a PDF? I am hoping to be able to take notes over the top of lecture slide PDFs but can't seem to work out the process of getting the converted text to sit over the slide. The written text disappears as though it is converting to typed text, i assume it is sitting under the PDF as I can't see it anywhere within the note. Nor do I seem to be able to write to text to the blank space to the right of the PDF. Can you help here?!

[@anilkumar1971]

How do you enable handwriting to Text? Do I need to enable that feature, or it's ON by default?

[@AldoJames]

In the settings

[@geoffreymeekhoff7182]

HI, thank you, I think if you squeeze your pencil, off the screen, you have an undo and redo option

[@britzglam6866]

How do I change cover image of the file. I like seeing to note books cover when I’m doing school work for each class

[@AldoJames]

That's actually a cool idea but you can't in OneNote :(

[@Boxten-x2d]

Thanks for the tipp

[@emirrinaldi9191]

Any way to maintain the highlighter on a straight line without having to click on the shapes tool?

[@ehm-wg8pd]

hi, can anyone tell me if double tapping on apple pen toggles between eraser and back to pen?

[@olsen1211]

It does. I have the Pencil Pro and the double tap toggles, but the haptic "squeeze" does not open up the tool pallete.

[@jimmyzhao2673]

Is OneNote better on the iPad or Surface pro ?

[@AldoJames]

Wayyyy better on the Surface Pro

[@chidori315]

As Aldo James said is a lot better in surface, there is a lot other app options that work better on iPad. I’m not completely happy with OneNote for iPad, I’m using it because of the notebook sync in OneDrive between my surface pro and iPad.

[@barbaracamicia5127]

Il problema di OneNote si Ipad è l’impossibilità di avere il formato A4 e per me che devo stampare le note è un problema😢

[@kavorka8855]

the annoying keyboard brought me here, I was hoping for a solution, it's a nightmare using the pencil with onenote

[@vibrantreadings6742]

Is there any option to convert our hand written notes into aesthetically pleasing one.

[@okhouri]

Buggy Microsoft software as usual

[@AldoJames]

😂

[@ElieGoral]

🙄

[@juliannetoman7866]

fr but i don’t wanna switch bc i have like 3 years worth of college notes on there 😢 what i hate the most is when i have centered the page perfectly to show the entire width of the text at all times and randomly while typing it will move it all the way to the left or right☹️

[@Godblessmeeee-t7x]

Autorefine handwriting is not available as apple notes thats a con

[@manu-singh]

Wow one note is so much better on ios , on my android tablet ite shite

[@imirmiles5044]

I’m showing you what it’s really like🤣😭

[@majorbuzzkill-x9t]
