Microsoft could finalize the work on this OneNote overhaul by the second half of 2022, but no specifics were provided. When the app is ready for production, Microsoft has confirmed that users will get an in-app invitation to try the new client. We don’t know when it will be released in the production channel, but those in the Office Insider program will be able to give it a try soon. The company is planning to bring it to OneNote (free) later this year in the Insider channels. As you can see in the above mockup, Microsoft is refreshing the traditional ribbon menu, and everything feels fresh thanks to new icons, extra padding and rounded cornersĪt the moment, the new Office UI is available for Word, PowerPoint and Excel only. OneNote’s new app would be ready for Windows 11, but it will also work on Windows 10 and the same interface update will be offered to all users. It’s also consistent with upcoming Office apps for Windows 11. Microsoft has also shared a mockup of the new OneNote app for Windows, and as expected, the new look is Windows 11-inspired.
