M365 Changelog: Changes to OneNote features: Evernote Importer and IE Web Clipper

MC393188 – Microsoft is announcing two changes to Microsoft OneNote features:

  • With the retirement of Internet Explorer browser effective 15 June 2022 (MC306663 Dec ’21), Microsoft will also be retiring the OneNote Web Clipper for Internet Explorer effective the same date. The OneNote Web Clipper works best with a modern browser like Microsoft Edge.
  • Effective 1st September 2022, Microsoft will also be retiring the Evernote to OneNote Importer, and it will no longer be available for download at https://www.onenote.com/import-evernote-to-onenote. Existing downloads of the Importer .exe file can still be used for importing Evernote content, but users may run into errors since Microsoft hasn’t actively supported the tool since 2020.

These changes will help us streamline our development resources which Microsoft will continue to invest within the core OneNote product.
