The tech giant previously said that it would no longer be updating that particular application and will be focusing on the separate OneNote app for Windows 10 instead.

OneNote product manager Ben Hodes has announced at a Microsoft Ignite session that his team is merging all its modern code back into the legacy 2016 codebase.

That means the 2016 desktop app is getting more features in addition to a dark mode.

Those will make their way to the desktop application over the next year-and-a-half, with mentions becoming available within the first half of 2020.

Plus, Microsoft has announced that OneNote is part of its Fluid Framework plans.

The companys Fluid Framework technology will let you create files that can be many different formats at once, and Microsoft promises to preview OneNote in Fluid next year.

Its not entirely clear whatll happen to the OneNote app for Windows 10.

The company may shift its focus to the 2016 version, though: In its previous announcement, it said Office 365 desktop installs will automatically include OneNote 2016 starting in March.

It also said that it will support the desktop application until 2025, thanks to user feedback.
