ToDo by Microsoft
OneNote by Microsoft - in MS-Office - RIP??
- See also: Evernote
- End of the line for OneNote for Windows 10 -|- AskWoody subscription
  - Versions:
    - "OneNote" 2016 desktop version
    - "OneNote for Windows 10" = EOL = RIP = Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app that was designed to work on Windows 10 devices
    - "OneNote on Windows" = "OneNote in Microsoft 365" = full desktop version = not EOL
    - OneNote - online/web - https://onenote.cloud.microsoft/ = not EOL
- EOL 2025-10-14 (end-of-support), after which it will become read-only and no longer receive updates or support.
  - The "OneNote app" may be around for a while, but not the "OneNote for Windows 10 app". Is this confusing?
  - To find out which version of OneNote you are running, launch your OneNote and check if you have a File menu at the top. If you see the File menu, you have the new OneDrive installed according to Microsoft. If you do not see the File menu, you have OneNote for Windows 10.
  - What is happening to OneNote for Windows 10 - Microsoft Support
  - Heads up! Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10 soon | PCWorld
    - Only "OneNote for Windows 10" is affected by end of support. The desktop version for Windows 11, which you get with Microsoft 365, will continue as usual going forward.
    - Microsoft therefore recommends switching to the latest version of "OneNote in Microsoft 365" as soon as you can. Or opt for the free web version, which doesn’t require a download.
      Or switch to alternatives such as SharePoint, Evernote, Google Keep, or Google Docs.
  - If you’re not sure which version of OneNote you’re using on Windows, check whether you see a File tab in the top-left corner, or just the Home tab. If you see the File menu, you’re already in OneNote on Windows and don’t need to worry. If you see the Home tab, you need to change to a new OneNote app.

  - Loop | How to Get Organized With Ease Thanks to Microsoft Loop
    - OneNote is a "digital notebook," which essentially means that this app is for your note-taking first and these notes can be shared. A OneNote notebook can be shared with others, but that is not its sole intention.
    - Loop, on the other hand, is specifically designed with the purpose of collaborating and making plans with teams as its first use-case.

- Undo / Undelete content
  - Impossible to "undelete" on a mobile device. You must go back to your office and log into your PC.
  - Ctrl-Z does not work. There is no "Undelete" option anywhere.
  - Convoluted and stupid method when using the Evernote app on a PC.
    - Select the note that lost the content > Click on the three dots (...) in the top right corner of the app's window > Note history > Make a guess as to the date and time the content was deleted > Restore
- Export data / Backup
  - How to move your notes out of Evernote - The Verge
    - Note: you can only export data using the Evernote local application for PCs or Macs; you can’t do it from the web or mobile versions.
    - In current versions of Evernote (version 10 and up), you can only export 100 notebooks at a time.
      On the other hand, if you export notebook by notebook, you can export all the notes in each notebook and keep your notes organized (if you just export all the notes, you lose that organization).
  - Very difficult to successfully export from Evernote and import to OneNote. See OneNote comments about Evernote2OneNote (below).

My Wish List for a ToDo App
- Works with Windows, iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android, Web browser
- Automatic sync to all devices
- Priorities
  - I don't want to have the same item on several lists. I want it to automatically be just on the list I need.
  - If you mark the item as Priority-1, it will move to the Priority-1 todo list.
    - If you mark the item as Priority-2, it will move to the Priority-2 todo list.
  - Sort by due date, etc.
- rich text format (like Word) - i.e. bullets, fonts, styles, etc.
