Hey, I am trying to use copilot in Onenote. I have a macbook pro from 2020, so not the newest, but so it should be possible anyway. I have tried updating my license, restarting my computer, been researching on the internet. But I can't seem to find a solution. for it. Also I don't have the the layout tab among my menu items in the top. Is there a correalation between those?

please help

kind regards Signe

    Hi @Signe Frost Jørgensen

    Welcome to Q&A forum~

    Could you please tell us which version of Office you are using?

    According to the article "Welcome to Copilot in OneNote", Copilot in OneNote is available to customers with a Copilot Pro (Home) or Microsoft 365 Copilot (Work) license in OneNote for Microsoft 365 on Windows, Mac​​​​​​​, and iPad.

    Unlike Copilot in Word, Copilot in OneNote has requirements for the version of OneNote, which needs to be OneNote for Microsoft 365.
