[MLO] Re: What Do Y'all Use for Notes
Hello Sipio, When I paste the OneNote link into MLO, it comes in two parts. The first part, starting with "https://organisation-my.sharepoint.com/; (where "organisation" is my company's name), is a link to the OneNote Office 35 online/web version. The second part, starting with "onenote:https://organisation-my.sharepoint.com/; doesn't work as a link in MLO until I prefix it with "file:" - Once I've done that it's activated as a link and it takes me to the OneNote 2016 desktop version. My preference is to use the OneNote 2016 desktop version because, as with all Microsoft apps, the desktop version is more fully-featured than the O365 online version. So, I haven't tried using either link from an iPad or other mobile device, to see if it works. Does any of that help you to get to where you want to be?

Re: [MLO] Re: What Do Y'all Use for Notes
Great summary Christoph. I'd add a category of tool for capturing web content for research, reference, read later etc - and for this category I think Evernote is still a strong frontrunner. I've settled on Obsidian too - for note taking where I'm creating, commenting on, or linking, notes. The Obsidian graphing capabilitites are creating a whole new area of visualising ideas and thoughts and how they connect. It will be interesting to see where it leads.

[MLO] Re: What Do Y'all Use for Notes
After trying and trying I found a (not perfect) solution for my problem: When pasting the OneNote (Windows 10 App) link into MLO it creates both a link and some additional text. After deleting the link and adding "file:" in front of the remaining text it turns into a new link. After clicking this new link the linked section, page or paragraph opens in OneNote. But it´s not the OneNote Windoes 10 App that opens but the "classic" OneNote 2016 program. So how can I force the link to open it´s target in the Windows 10 App instead of the OneNote 2016 program? mlopio schrieb am Samstag, 6.

[MLO] Re: What Do Y'all Use for Notes
Ok, just found the solution. I had to change the default version of OneNote on my computer as described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/change-the-default-version-of-onenote-on-your-computer-f261140c-5ce8-4cf4-ad0b-c9e1cb953831 Very happy with the result as setting links in MLO for OneNote Windows 10 App finally works as expected :-) mlopio schrieb am Samstag, 6.
