How to Customize the OneNote Full-Screen Floating Toolbar
Question details
The user wants to know how to customize the floating toolbar in OneNote's full-screen mode and assign a keyboard shortcut to set the zoom level to exactly 100%.
- Product
- Microsoft OneNote
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Working in OneNote's full-screen mode and attempting to adjust the floating toolbar buttons or use a shortcut for zooming.
- Observed behavior
- OneNote does not provide native options to customize the full-screen floating toolbar, hide the page sidebar, or bind a specific keyboard shortcut for 100% zoom.
Ensure you are using the latest version of Microsoft OneNote, as interface options and menu layouts can vary between the Windows 10 app and the Microsoft 365 desktop version.
Access 100% Zoom via the Floating Menu
Since customizing the floating toolbar isn't supported, you can manually access the 100% zoom feature through the existing menu structure in full-screen mode.
While you cannot add a dedicated zoom button to the primary floating toolbar, the zoom function remains accessible within a couple of clicks.
Click the diagonal double-arrow icon in the top right corner of OneNote to enter full-screen mode.
Locate the floating toolbar at the top of the screen and click on the three-dot menu (...) to reveal additional tabs.
Click on the 'View' tab from the expanded ribbon menu.
Click the '100%' option in the Zoom section to instantly reset your page view to its default scale.
Submit a Feature Request via the Feedback Portal
If you rely heavily on custom toolbars and shortcuts, you can submit a request directly to the OneNote development team to encourage future updates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hide the page sidebar in OneNote full-screen mode?
Currently, OneNote does not provide a built-in option to permanently hide the page sidebar while operating in full-screen mode.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for 100% zoom in OneNote?
No, OneNote does not have a default keyboard shortcut specifically for 100% zoom, nor does it allow you to assign a custom keyboard shortcut for this specific action natively.
Why can't I edit the full-screen floating toolbar?
Microsoft restricts customization of the floating toolbar in full-screen mode by design to maintain a standardized minimal interface. Any changes to this behavior must be requested via the Microsoft feedback portal.
