What it does

This policy setting controls whether users will see and be able to accept text predictions when writing notes in English in OneNote. If you enable or don't configure this policy setting, users will see and be able to accept predicted text by using the Tab key or right arrow key while writing their notes. Or they can simply keep typing to ignore the predicted text. If you disable this policy setting, users will not be able to see or accept text predictions while writing notes. Note: This policy setting only applies to subscription versions of Office, such as Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
