Insert multiple A4 pages in one section / paper size options to limit the canvas
I would like to use OneNote as a virtual A4 notebook. The unlimited canvas can be a great idea in certain scenarios, but page limitations help with taking structured notes that can work on most screen sizes and can be printed on paper.
Currently OneNote 2016 only allows you to insert one page of a certain size (see 'Page Templates 'in the 'Insert' menu), and not multiple pages.
Notability and GoodNotes, the two most popular apps in the Apple App Store, allow you to take notes on A4 pages, which are automatically created as you take your notes and you can later scroll through. All students and professionals I've seen on YouTube use them like that. It's really unfortunate that there's no equivalent in Windows.

This would be such a game changer. A4 wide, infinite length canvas! Pleeeeease.

This idea should be implemented immediately! It's just so extremely important, especially for students. There are no alternatives at all to GoodNotes on Windows and it would really be time. I got myself a Surface for studying with the assumption that something like this would be possible with the oh so great Ink functions. Simply NO! I ask that this idea is implemented as soon as possible! Not only students need something like this, but also every workplace to be able to write quickly, easily and also to share handwritten notes without so many problems with the built-in function, because you would like to decide for yourself when there is a page change!

Ditto for 8.5x11. Include an option in the settings that lets uses select a specific page size and turn pages as taking notes, or use the continuous page. That way pages can be exported as pdf.

So many people asking for this option for SO LONG so why is it so hard for 135325213 developers to implement it?!

For now, Word can be used as a virtual notebook.

I absolutely agree!
Would be very helpful to have the ability to set a4 borders on the unlimited canvas. This feature will improve my experience with the one note app very much!!!
Please do this. -

When I bought a device, that was not apple, I didn't know, how disappointing the options for microsoft devices would be. OneNote is cool, but without those absolutely essential tools, it's just useless and I'm really upset about that, so please, please, please add this feature, it's so important for my everyday work on my devices.

Yes we need this to make sure as we are taking notes that we can print them out without having to worry about resizing and other issues.
