Microsoft is working on a new feature for OneNote on iPad that brings the app up to date with its counterparts on other platforms. The app will soon support superscript and subscript, allowing users to add footnotes and type equations accurately. Insiders can test out the functionality now, and it should make its way to general availability in August 2023.
“We heard your feedback that many of you use superscript and subscript frequently in other programs and platforms and you want to use them in OneNote for iPad,” said Microsoft Product Management intern on the OneNote team Cora Chen in ablog post.
“We’re happy to deliver! With this update, you can use superscript and subscript from theHometab to quickly create accurate equations, trademarks, footnotes, formulas, and other notations in your notes.”
Microsoft outlines how to use the feature as well. “On theHometab, tap theMore Formatting Optionsbutton, and then tapSuperscriptorSubscript.”
Superscript and subscript are already supported on other versions of OneNote, so this helps bring the iPad version up to date.

Earlier this year, Microsoft added support fordictation with auto-punctuationto OneNote on macOS.
