Need a Tree Navigator for active notebook, combining full screen view of active page and a convenient switch.

Problem to Solve

I normlly use two monitors at work.
I find it is great to use OneNote as a Powerpoint alternative.
As OneNote pages can just work as slides when displayed in full view.
But when showing pages in full view mode, it is hard to switch between pages.
There is already a OneMore navigator but it is for this purpose.

I have tried using the interop to get the section/pages list, and it works, but a built-in tool is more preferrable and can benefit a lot of potential people.

New Feature/Solution

Provide a clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Provide a TreeNavigator for all the sections and pages of current notebook, in a floatable window.
When click a node in the tree, the page is activated (showing as full page in a monitor)

Alternative Solutions

Provide a clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Additional Context

Provide any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

THE FINE PRINT This is a hobby project that I started for myself. I'm happy to take requests and will promise to
consider each one carefully but offer no guarantees that I will ultimately agree to their
usefulness or have time to implement any of them. If OneNote offers a "close enough" work-around
then I will probably reject the request - you've been warned!

Sorry but I do not think this is worth the effort. While it's certainly possible, time and effort is substantial with the biggest challenge being keeping the TreeView in sync with added/delete/moved pages and sections.

Alternatives include pinning the Notebook panel (or enable View/Horizontal Tabs) to always see sections and the Page panel to always see pages. Then it's just a matter of opening a page, press Ctrl+M to open it in a new window, and press the Full Screen arrow glyph in the upper right of the page.

Dear Steven, I guess you misunderstand the problem. 1. Your suggested approach will not work for switching the full page view. 2. No need to refresh the tree dynamically. It is normally refreshed once by click a refresh button before the presentation. Anyway, we can wait more feedback.

Sorry if I misunderstood. I'm happy to listen if you want to explain it a little more.

I admit, I think I glossed over the part about PowerPoint! But I believe the Navigator could actually be used to do this by using the My Reading List function. Just pin a bunch of pages, in order, to the Navigator Reading List, set the OneNote window to full screen mode and then you can click each Navigator reading list page in succession from a second window.

Another simple alternative is to write up your slides as pages in a section, navigate to the first page, enter full screen mode (maximize window and press the Full Screen arrow button), then simply use Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn to navigate page-to-page or slide-to-slide.
