OneNote Online co-authoring experience improvements

We use OneNote just as many of our clients do as a collaboration tool. Our employees access shared company notebooks and add / edit throughout the day.  While an incredibly powerful tool, OneNote is not ideal for multiple users on a single page.

Continuing the flood of OneNote improvements these past few weeks Microsoft has added a new feature “People Presence” to allow you to see who else is working on the same page as you. 

Additionally they have made improvements to the syncing speed.  Traditionally changes made can and do take minutes, often leading to pages that were being edited to by multiple people to contain duplicate data.  Syncing is now closer to real time.
