You'll also find these kinds of limitations in the online and mobile versions of the application-it's too bad that Microsoft didn't try to support all of the same features across all of its desktop clients. Send screen captures or text clips to OneNote through the "Send to OneNote" add-on.View detailed information on revisions and what users those revisions were made by.Insert file attachments, online images, or images directly from scanners.Here's a list of what you can do in OneNote 2013 that you can't do in OneNote for Mac: The free OneNote 2013 application for Windows has all the same features of the version that comes bundled with Office, including several that the Mac version lacks. While the OneNote for Mac application is pretty good, the Windows version remains more feature-rich. Microsoft has done a good job balancing its own design language (namely, the tabs of the ribbon UI) and OS X design conventions (a search box in the upper-right, full Retina display support, and full-screen mode support). Once you've signed in, you'll be presented with an OS X-ified version of the Windows OneNote client. Unlike the free Windows version of OneNote, you've got to use a standard Microsoft account with OneNote for Mac-you can't use it as a local, standalone application, and you can't use it with a corporate Microsoft account either. When you download OneNote for Mac, you'll first be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft account. The application's user interface is more in line with the "ribbon" UI used in the Windows versions of Office, and it may give us an idea of where Microsoft is headed with the next version of Office for Mac (the rumor mill says we'll see an update at some point this year).

The new OneNote for Mac app is interesting both because the app has never been available in OS X before and because it has been a few years since the other Office for Mac applications-Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook-have been updated. The full Windows version of OneNote 2013 has also been released as a free download, and it includes all the features of the standard OneNote client that comes with Office 2013 for Windows. As predicted a week ago, Microsoft has just released a version of its OneNote client for OS X-it's currently a free download in the Mac App Store, and it's available for any Mac running OS X 10.9.
