Thank you for sending Microsoft feedback. Your input is valuable to us and helps improve our products.
 
First of all, thank you for using OneNote. We also want to let you know that the decision to remove OneNote Feed feature from OneNote on Windows was a hard one. We went ahead with that decision because Feed had a very low usage inside OneNote app and we wanted to use that real estate to expand on Sticky Notes experience, which is the most popular note-type in Feed. We believe this way we'll be able to serve a much larger user-base, and will also benefit OneNote users who can use Sticky Notes for quick note-taking on the go while using other apps, and can see all their notes inside one place for all their notes, OneNote. That said, we also want to assure that currently there is no change in other Feed endpoints like OneNote on Web or Outlook on Web.
 
For your reference, you submitted the following feedback on December 11, 2023:
 
The feed in OneNote is super duper important because it allows for efficient browsing between active OneNote-pages.
 
If you have any questions, please reply back to this email.
 
Thank you,
The Microsoft Team
