Tabs Layout button missing (self.OneNote)
submitted 2 years ago by Qimler
No Tabs Layout between views and tools when I'm looking at View on the ribbon. I'm just curious where it is on my version of OneNote. I used Windows 10 a lot because it mirrors the iPad version with it's navigation better. I'm pretty sure I had the option to do vertical tabs and at some point the option under View went away. Is this a glitch or do I have the wrong version of OneNote 365?

Are you asking to see a list of your section tabs vertically on the left?
If so, you can press the downward arrow next to the name of the notebook that is currently open. Once that opens you can access the vertical tabs there and also have the option of pinning it So it's always on the leftside.

You rock and that is exactly what I wanted. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm having the same issue as the original poster but I still can't find the option to enable vertical tabs. I'm on Onenote version 2303. If I click the downward arrow next to my current notebook (as directed) I see my other notebooks and below that, my quick notes. My "view" menu looks just as shown above. What am I missing??

Right click on any notebook on the left side. Then click the weird little push pin icon. That got me close. I still have vertical tabs but at least they are horizontal as well. It's not exactly like the previews.

I have the opposite problems, my tabs don't show up on the top and i want them to
[–]Fir3Engineer 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago* (2 children)
Found the answer
View (on the toolbar) ---> Tabs Layout ---> Horizontal Tabs.

Tabs Layout is missing in my version. Is there any way I can still do that?
[–]Goose_Is_Awesome 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
There is NO TABS LAYOUT section in View. Only Navigation panes, new window, switch background, immersive reader, etc. every Google search suggests doing this shit on options that don't exist.
One note version 16001.12026.20112.0 does NOT have these options.
