Question

I often find myself wanting to switch backwards and forwards between two or three pages in different notebooks.  Is there a quick way to do this? I'm aware of the History=>View Recent Edits option, but that is slow and entails a lot of clicking around.  I found this linkwhich describes exactly the functionality I'm looking for, but it applies to OneNote 2007. Is this or similar functionality available in OneNote 2013?

Answer 1

Yes. Those are the buttons that I'm using. They're okay if I'm literally just flicking between two or three pages, and not using any others,  but I'm a heavy user of oneNote, and there are almost invariable other pages that I'm updating as well.  The result is that I often have to click back though half a dozen pages to get to the one I want.  

The old method of having a dropdown list next to the arrow allowing you to go directly to the page you want is infinitely preferable.

Answer 2

In my German Onenote 2010 I think these are the buttons you need:

Answer 3

I had tried using a shortcut on  the toobar. The best I could find was a shortcut to changes made since yesterday, but that is not a lot faster. It defaults to showing only changes for just the current notebook.  It's still a process that takes several clicks. I was hoping to find something similar to the functionality that was available in earlier versions of oneNote.
