OneNote 365 Not Displaying TABS LAYOUT > VERTICAL TABS Option

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,

    You are using the wrong OneNote, OneNote for Windows 10, NOT OneNote from Office.

    With no File menu and no horizontal tabs.

    Okay, I do see that there are two OneNotes that my job offers.

    I assumed the OneNote would one day just disappear and that OneNote for Windows 10 was the update of OneNote.
    I'll reach out to our IT and see what they'd prefer me to use moving forward

    Dear Leyna,

    Thanks for your updates and letting us know the current situation in your environment.

    The OneNote icon is the OneNote application from a Microsoft 365 subscription which is previously OneNote 2016 and I suggest you use it to move forward.

    The OneNote for Windows 10 tab is the OneNote for Windows 10 application.

    I don't even have this option. I'm using Microsoft 365 on Windows 10, OneNote version 16001.12026.20112.0. I recently had to get a new laptop at work and now my OneNote is a completely different version. My horizontal tabs used to be there and now they are gone; this isn't a new feature, this is the way I've been using it for years and now I have to wait for an update in order to get them back????????? I know this seems very silly but this is really frustrating. Give my horizontal tabs back.
