MC560724 - Text Predictions for OneNote on Windows

Updated March 1, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

When this update rolls out, users will see text predictions when writing documents in English in OneNote on Windows. When they see the suggested text, users can accept with the tab or right arrow key or simply keep typing to ignore.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 124909

When this will happen:

We will begin rolling out in mid-July 2023 (previously late June) and expect to complete rollout by late July 2024 (previously mid-February).

How this will affect your organization:

Text predictions are ON by default and users can disable them as needed. To disable in OneNote on Windows, go to File -> Option -> Advanced -> Editing and switch off Show text predictions while typing.

Disabling this feature in OneNote will not affect other Microsoft apps, such as Word or Outlook.

What you need to do to prepare:

Text predictions is considered a Microsoft 365 connected experience. This feature can be managed through admin policy. 

You may want to notify your users about this new capability and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
