Today, we are discussing on Auto Numbering Recognition User in OneNote in Intune Policy As you all know that settings catalog is One of the feature in Intune and it allowing the Admins to deploy different types of policys. We already covered different type of OneNote policys.
Microsoft OneNote includes a feature called Auto Numbering Recognition, controlled by the option “Apply numbering to lists automatically.” When this setting is enabled, OneNote detects when a user starts typing something that resembles a numbered or bulleted list, and it automatically converts the text into a formatted list.
If the option is disabled OneNote will not automatically turn your text into a list. That means if you type 1 .and then press Enter, OneNote will just move to the next line without adding 2 or starting a numbered list. In this case, the numbers, or letters you type at the beginning of a line will remain as plain text.
This means you can write in any style you want without OneNote forcing it into a list format. When the feature is enabled OneNote actively monitors typed input patterns. So in this post we can discuss how this policy to be deployed through MS Intune.
