Insert File Printout Missing, OneNote Version 16001.11029.20060.0

The new version of OneNote is frustrating. Functionality keeps being removed. Is this supposed to be a productivity app or what, because my productivity has come to an absolute halt trying to figure out why features keep going away?

Where is "Insert File Printout" being hidden now? The only thing that is available under "Insert" now is: Table, FIle, PDF, Pictures, Online Video, LInk, Audio, Meeting Details, Symbol, Math, Stickers (THanks...this REALLY helps in a professional capacity), & Researcher.

    If you want to use OneNote with Draw/annotate with stylus, which is what Microsoft is pushing, you HAVE to be able to insert documents as printouts. This is a total disconnect in how these products work as we are moving towards tablets with stylus for handwriting.

    You used to drag and drop and it would give you option to insert printout or attach file.   This is slower and takes more steps.

    It isn't that it is hard but installing a print to onenote app is another step.  Why would Microsoft want to make things take more steps.

    Same for Windows 10.  Do get to network adapter settings you have to click through several screens on windows 10.  Things that are broke, you shouldn't "fix".  Things should get easier not harder.  Replacing a wonderful full featured one note with this Desktop app for windows 10  that doesn't come near the functionality is confounding and very frustrating.

    The "file printout" icon is missing from the insert tab on the OneNote online / OneDrive ribbon. I use this function on a daily basis for work and cannot find a way to add it back to the ribbon. 

    Can anyone provide guidance?

    It's not that difficult to insert a printout:

    Install the Send to OneNote app from the Store and then use it as a printer for any file you want.
