Whenever I annotate on my tablet (Samsung galaxy s7) it appears shifted/ out of place on my laptop (MacBook). Onenote on both devices are updated to the newest version.

The attached image is a screenshot of my laptop after annotating on my tablet. The lines were suppose to be under each bullet point but it appears on my Mac at a different location. The yellow highlight is also shifted (on my tablet, I highlighted the sentence starting with "vitD3 is made..."

    I was able to test it out on an iPad, windows PC, android phone and all of them have the notes shifted and out of place. Some of my old notes are unreadable because of the drawings/annotations are all shifted.

    Dear Tomoya Ono

    Thank you for your quick response and we also appreciate you spent your precious time doing the tests and providing the detailed information and screenshot to us.

    Per your update, this behavior happens both in Mac and PC. We did tests on our end, but we can't reproduce the same result as yours. In this scenario, to check if this behavior is related to the specific notebook or all notebooks, can you copy all the content to a new created notebook then to check the result?

    If this behavior happens in all notebooks in OneNote. to confirm if this behavior is related to your OneNote app on Samsung s7 tablet, may I know if it's convenient to you to sign in your account in another device, such as iPad or OneNote for mobile device to check the outcome?

    And can you tell us does other users in your organization also have this behavior?

    Welcome to update the latest situation to us. We'll help you all the time.

    Really appreciate your patience and understanding.

    Sincerely,

    The Samsung s7 tablet is running version 16.0.16227.20020

    My MacBook Pro is running version 16.71 (23031200)

    This also occurs with my Windows 10 desktop

    Dear Tomoya Ono

    Good day! Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

    Based on your description, it seems that the OneNote annotations created in tablet (Samsung galaxy s7) appear differently on Mac.

    Given this situation, to help you better and for the further troubleshoot, we would like to collect more detailed information you're experiencing so that we can have a further investigation:

    • We didn't see the screenshot you attached. May I request a screenshot showing how it appears in tablet app and OneNote for Mac?
    • Does this happen in other notebooks as well?
    • Do the annotations can show well in the OneNote for web on Mac?
    • Please kindly tell us your OneNote version both on Mac and your tablet.

    If the scenario above is not consistent with yours, you can also post back and point that.

    Your understanding and patience will be highly appreciated. I hope that you are keeping safe and well!

    Sincerely,
