Question

"Why doesn't my OneNote have the 'Hold gesture during handwriting to convert ink to shapes' feature?"

Answer 1

Hi @00 0

Is this feature available in previous older versions of OneNote?

If the drawing cannot be automatically converted into a shape, please check whether there is an "Automatic Shapes" appears in the drawing interface.

Some users reported similar issue last year, but there is currently no unified solution. Thanks for your understanding.

Please make sure your notebooks are synced to cloud successfully or exported as a backup. Then uninstall Office, re-install it from http://office.com/ for a check.
