How to Suggest S Pen Ink Menu Changes in Microsoft OneNote
Question details
The user wants to submit a design suggestion to move the Samsung S Pen ink menu from the workspace to the toolbar in Microsoft OneNote.
- Product
- Microsoft OneNote
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Submitting feature feedback to improve usability and maximize writing space while using a stylus.
- Observed behavior
- The current S Pen ink menu occupies the active workspace area, and the user prefers it docked in the main toolbar.
Before submitting feedback, ensure you have the latest version of Microsoft OneNote installed, as menu layouts occasionally change in new updates.
Submit a Feature Request via the OneNote Feedback Portal
Use the official Microsoft feedback channels to suggest UI improvements directly to the development team.
The current layout may be designed to keep the OneNote page uncluttered, but moving the ink menu could significantly improve usability. The best way to initiate this change is by submitting a formal request to the product team.
Launch Microsoft OneNote on your device. Navigate to the main menu or settings, typically found in the top right corner, and select 'Help & Feedback'.
Tap or click on the 'Send Feedback' option to open the submission form.
Clearly describe your request to move the Samsung S Pen ink menu from the workspace to the toolbar. Emphasize that this change will provide faster access to tools and create more unobstructed writing space.
Review your text and click 'Submit' so the Microsoft product team can evaluate your design suggestion for future updates.
Enjoy a Cleaner Workspace with WPS Office
If restricted toolbars and floating menus interrupt your workflow in Microsoft OneNote, consider switching to WPS Office. It provides a lightweight, free alternative with intuitive drawing tools and a clean interface that maximizes your writing space without cluttering the screen.
- 1. Download and Install: Get WPS Office for free from the official website or your device's app store.
- 2. Open the Note or PDF Tool: Launch WPS Office and create a new document or open a PDF to start taking notes.
- 3. Use the Draw Tab: Access the 'Draw' tab on the top toolbar to find neatly organized ink and stylus tools that won't block your workspace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does OneNote keep the ink menu in the workspace?
The current layout may be designed to keep the overall OneNote application looking uncluttered by hiding complex toolbars, though some users find the floating menu intrusive when writing.
Can I currently dock the S Pen menu to the toolbar in OneNote?
No, in the current version of OneNote for Android or Windows, the floating S Pen menu cannot be natively docked to the top toolbar, which is why submitting feedback to Microsoft is recommended.
Is there a specific feedback portal for Microsoft OneNote?
Yes, Microsoft maintains a dedicated Feedback Portal online where users can submit and vote on feature requests, in addition to the standard in-app feedback option.
