Back in January 2016, Microsoft released a OneNote UWP update to Windows Insiders on the Fast Ring that brought a refreshed user interface to the app. It also included new features such as the ability to hide page previews in the Notebook view and hide spelling error lines.

Here’s what’s included in terms of specifics:
- “Password protection: The ability to password protect notebook sections as well as change passwords and unlocking protected sections
