OneNote 365 Not Displaying TABS LAYOUT > VERTICAL TABS Option

Anonymous

Hi Support,

I installed the latest version of Office 365 / Microsoft 365 and while searching online says to go to VIEW > TABS LAYOUT > VERTICAL TABS to make OneNote display the tabs vertical as opposed to horizontal; however, when I click on VIEW, I don't see this option and only see the follow image below.

I tried to go to FILE > OPTIONS > DISPLAY to see if I could customize the RIBBON and don't see this option.

Any advice is very much appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Sonny

Dear Sonny,

It seems that you are talking about the feature mentioned in New Layout Options for OneNote on Windows are coming soon (microsoft.com). I'm afraid that the feature hasn't been released to all version number of the OneNote application. I suggest you keep close eyes on the updates of the OneNote application and wait for the feature in your environment.

As a workaround, you can click on the notebook tab>click on Pin Notebook Pane to Side currently.

Thanks for your understanding and have a nice day!

Sincerely,

Hi Moderator, what does 'fully released' mean. Surely an update is either released, or it isn't.

If everyone is screaming to have Books, Sections and Pages vertically displayed from left to right, which is the way non-Arab speakers read, i.e. the way most of the world reads, then why oh why is Microsoft messing everyone around, and who had the unhelpful idea to start messing with the layout in the first place?

Okay, that is a useful workaround and has removed a good deal of frustration. Have to say I am really surprised that anyone at MS would thing that horizontal section layouts were the optimum and should be the default in the first place. It is now 05/20/2023 and the "soon to come" feature of File\Option\Horizontal has not yet arrived. How long does it take to roll-out?

Dear David and Prince,

The feature may haven't been released to each channel of the OneNote applications. Sorry for that we may have no enough information about the exact date of the full roll-out at our side.

I kindly suggest you contact the administrator if you aren't the administrator and let him follow the steps in Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn to open a support ticket to our related team to see if they have some further information.

The administrator is always the first person who subscribes the Microsoft 365 business subscription or the IT administrator in your organization.

Just downloaded the update where this appears to be deployed, and it works on 3 of the 4 PCs, but does not show on one of them. Confused!

not present on: Microsoft® OneNote® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2304 Build 16.0.16327.20302) 64-bit

present on: Microsoft® OneNote® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2304 Build 16.0.16327.20302) 64-bit

Is there a registry change or another enablement package needed to enable this, as would like to be 100% consistent across all PCs.
