Microsoft updated OneNote for Windows last week, and after a successful launch, the software giant has started offering another noteworthy feature – Pen Focused View, in which Microsoft says users can create with the stylus without distraction.
This feature is an enhancement to the OneNote full-screen page where you will see only the tools you need to take notes and outline ideas, including the custom pen option. You can show or hide the Pen toolbar in Pen Focused View from the top right corner.
This distraction-free note-taking in OneNote will not be limited to Surface PCs; it will also work on other Windows PCs with or without touch support, but it’s even better if you have a Surface stylus.
OneNote will automatically switch to Pen Focused View when your Surface stylus is not docked, and you can disable it by navigating to File > Options > Advanced and clearing the Switch to focused ink writing when pen is not docked checkbox.
There is a known issue though, Pen Focused View may not work properly when you are using a Surface stylus in Select mode.
