One Note Android drag and drop button missing

Question

Hello. On the OneNote for Android application, the little arrow to select an entire line and move it has disappeared (the grey arrow to the left of the line). It worked until a few days ago.

I tried logging out, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and erasing the app data in the phone and nothing worked.

How can I solve this problem? It's much less convenient without this selection arrow.

Thanks

Answer 1

I just found out, that you can mark the text you want, and then hold your finger on the marked object, then you can drag&drop it to somewhere.

It's not really intuitive, because the target where it will be dropped is just a small line, which might be underneath your finger...

I assume that replaces the previous drag&drop feature.

It's been two weeks since this post and the error is still there. This is very annoying. I now have an older apk installed.

Hi Donovan F,

I'm Tim, an Independent Consultant here and a Microsoft user like you. I don't work for Microsoft and do not have access to any of your data on their system.

It’s more than likely Microsoft have removed the feature especially if you’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the application.

Did you notice an update a few days ago?

Essentially, the only suggestion I have is to leave feedback for Microsoft using the feedback portal link below and hopefully they’ll re add the function:-
