Microsoft today updated OneNote Online, its service for collaborating on shared notebooks across OneDrive and Office 365, with improvements to the co-authoring experience. Since this is a service, the changes are live now over at Office Online. First up, there is a new “People Presence” feature that shows you who else is working on the same OneNote page or is in the same notebook.
