Question details
The user wants to use the Send to OneNote integration within the Outlook Progressive Web App (PWA) but finds the feature unavailable.
- Product
- Microsoft Outlook PWA
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to export or send emails directly from the Outlook Progressive Web App interface to Microsoft OneNote.
- Observed behavior
- The Send to OneNote command is missing from the Outlook PWA interface, likely due to web app limitations or Office suite license restrictions.
Verify whether you are using the browser-based Outlook Progressive Web App (PWA) or the full desktop version, as web versions have fewer integration commands.
Use the Full Desktop Version of Outlook
Switching to the desktop client is the most reliable way to restore the Send to OneNote feature, as the PWA does not support all desktop commands.
The Outlook Progressive Web App (PWA) is a streamlined web application. It does not include every command available in the full desktop version of Outlook, including advanced add-ins and direct integrations like Send to OneNote.
Open your Windows Start menu and type 'outlook.exe' to see if the full desktop application is already installed on your system.
Click on the Outlook app icon to open the desktop client instead of the web browser version.
Select an email and check the Home ribbon at the top of the window for the 'Send to OneNote' icon.
Verify Your Office Suite Edition and License
Ensure your purchased Microsoft 365 or Office edition actually includes the desktop versions of Outlook and OneNote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't the Outlook PWA have the Send to OneNote feature?
The Outlook Progressive Web App (PWA) is designed as a fast, browser-based alternative to the desktop app. It does not include the complex COM add-ins and cross-application integration commands like Send to OneNote that are built into the full desktop version.
Does Office 2021 Home & Student include Microsoft Outlook?
No, Office 2021 Home & Student only includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. If you need the desktop version of Microsoft Outlook, you will need Office 2021 Home & Business or a Microsoft 365 subscription.
How do I know which version of OneNote I am using on Windows?
Windows generally has two versions: the OneNote for Windows 10 app (downloaded from the Microsoft Store) and the Office desktop app. The desktop app is typically bundled with Microsoft 365 or Office 2021 installers and offers the best integration with desktop Outlook.
