Microsoft’s update to note-taking app OneNote now available to all users

By Mark Coppock Updated February 22, 2017

Microsoft’s OneNote has emerged as one of the most powerful note-taking apps available for any platform. OneNote is great for typing and handwriting notes, clipping web pages, and organizing all of your various content in one location that can be accessed from anywhere.

OneNote is available on just about every platform, including Windows 10, iOS, and Android, with both desktop and mobile versions. Windows Insiders recently received a new version of the Windows 10 OneNote app, as OneNote Central reported on Twitter, and Microsoft has now released the same update for all users.

OneNote version 17.7830.10001, available now for Windows Insider Fast Ring participants, has a number of new features and enhancements. These same updates are also now being pushed to all Windows 10 users. Here are some of the highlights:

Password protection: You can now create passwords and apply them to sections, change passwords, and unlock sections secured in other OneNote clients.
Page creation: You can now create a new page directly underneath the current page, rather than just creating a page at the end of a section.
Bullet lists: There is a new bullet gallery to make it easier to select a specific bullet to assign to lists.
Rename section groups: You can now rename section groups via a pop-up menu.
Table tool menu: There is a new tablet tool menu that provides access to most table options, with the exception of Hide Borders and Header Row.
Save-as support: You can now use the “Save As” command for attached files in notes to make it easier to select where files will be saved. Images can also be right-clicked and then “Save As” can be used to save to specific locations.

The best way to stay ahead of the curve with Windows 10 apps is to be signed up as a Windows Insider and be fully updated in the Fast Ring. But for now, you can gain access to some nice new OneNote for Windows 10 updates by opening the Windows Store app, going to “Downloads and updates,” and hitting the “Check for updates” button.

Microsoft has begun rolling out Copilot Code for building apps with natural language

The workplace-focused vibe coding tool can pull context from emails, documents, meetings, and chats.

Microsoft introduced Code last month as one of the three core parts of its revamped Copilot app. The app was pitched as an easy-to-use coding agent that lets users describe what they want to build in natural language, like an app, a tracker, a dashboard, an automation, or a workflow, and Copilot would build it for them.

Essentially, it's a workplace-focused vibe-coding app that turns existing work into a functional app, and Microsoft has begun rolling it out through the Frontier program.

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks

US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves

Banking

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

Canva enters the AI image generation race with Craft, and it’s thinking beyond pretty pictures

The new model plans layouts before generating images, with precise editing and support for 30 aspect ratios.

Canva Craft Featured Image

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.
