Today, I turned on Onenote, and it notified me that it had Copilot update.

Now, every time I click in Onenote, it shows this annoying Copilot icon next to cursor:

How do I remove it?

Thank you.

    Dear derMJ,

    Good day!! Wish you a happy new year~

    As per the description shared, I understand your concern and to my knowledge, I am sorry to convey that currently there is no possible setting or the feature in the OneNote application to hide or disable the Copilot icon beside the cursor, where we can only turn the complete Copilot feature from the OneNote app.

    I agree with you on having the ability to hide or disable the Copilot icon beside the cursor in the Notebooks of the OneNote app will benefit the users and I suggest you add your valuable vote in the OneNote Feedback community: OneNote · Community which is the best place to share our ideas and improve the Microsoft products.

    Our sincere apologies for the feature limitation in the OneNote app but being a moderator in this community we are limited with the resources and that's the reason we requested you add your valuable ideas as a feedback.

    Appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great day!!

    Best Regards,

    Sophia

    Hello. Likewise, I am having that issue as of today. Furthermore, my in-line indentation tool is missing, which was a tool I used frequently for formatting in-page without having to reach above.

    How is this acceptable? There is no way for me to disable Copilot even after I've disabled the option in Privacy Settings to "Turn on experiences that analyze your content".

    Anyone else teetering on the edge of switching OSes?

    This doesn't appear to remove it from OneNote. The little copilot icon shows up EVERYWHERE I put my cursor. Quite annoying.

    Anyone remember Clippy...? The annoying "help" paperclip from the 90's? I think he's back in this new form.
