The OneNote feed conveniently combines your notes from different apps — including Samsung Notes, Sticky Notes, and OneNote. The OneNote feed automatically syncs all of the notes that are associated with the same Microsoft account (or your work or school account) that you are using with OneNote. Your feed is available in OneNote on the web, Outlook.com, and Outlook on the web.
Note: OneNote feed will no longer be available inside OneNote app on Windows and will be replaced with the new Sticky Notes experience. There are no changes to other OneNote feed endpoints, such as OneNote on Web or Outlook on Web at this point.

Open OneNote (desktop), OneNote on the web, or OneNote for Windows 10 and make sure you’re signed into your Microsoft (or your work or school) account.

When the Feed pane opens, you’ll see your most recently edited notes for your current account. In your feed, you’ll find your OneNote pages and sticky notes. If you use Samsung Notes on your mobile device and want to include those notes in the OneNote feed, see Sync Samsung Notes to your OneNote feed.
