It is getting harder to find the desktop version that has content central and navigation to the left, top, and right sides. Over time it has increased in parity between the desktop version and the web, however - the Metro UI designed app has lingered and its design has stayed truer to the web version than the original desktop version. The simplicity of what the web version could do was crippled by the ability of the internet browsers at the time. The different versions - When OneNote transitioned to the web, it was during the focus on the Metro UI in Windows 8 and it suffered for it. With links to various other locations in the same notebook, other locations and materials on the internet, and even embedding videos and other documents directly in the pages of the notebook you can make the reach of the content presented to extend beyond the boundries of the document itself. But you can also transform it to a fully interactive collection. You can create your notebook and its contents to directly translate to what if it had to be printed. Once I unbound myself from the concept of creating everything to translate to a printed letter size piece of paper it really took off. The notebook structure was very appealing to me when I first started using OneNote. I love this product and since growing with it in my career have also expanded to use it in my personal life for notetaking, organization, and planning. Administration can collaborate and share materials and use the private spaces for groups members to take their own notes or have individual content distributed to them to work on or reflect upon. Especially after the integration between OneNote and Office 365 Groups and then Teams, the addition of the Collaboration Space and Documentation Library has helped us create central repositories that can be worked on simultaneously and frequently. OneNote has become central to our documentation at our organization.
