- Product

- Device & OS
- PC, Mac, tablet
- Scenario
- Attempting to access Samsung Notes on a PC or Mac after syncing them to Microsoft OneNote from a mobile phone.
- Observed behavior
- The synced notes appear correctly on the phone but do not show up as standard notebook pages in the desktop, web, or tablet versions of OneNote.
Verify that you are signed into Microsoft OneNote on your computer or tablet using the exact same Microsoft account that you used to set up the sync in the Samsung Notes app on your phone.
Access Synced Samsung Notes via the OneNote Feed
Samsung Notes do not sync as standard OneNote pages; instead, they are accessible exclusively through the OneNote Feed feature.
When you sync Samsung Notes with Microsoft OneNote, the notes do not create new standard notebook pages in your notebooks. Instead, Microsoft routes them directly to the OneNote Feed, which is a specialized side-pane designed for quick notes and synced mobile content.
Launch the Microsoft OneNote application on your PC, Mac, or open it in your web browser.
Look for the 'Open Feed' icon, which is typically located in the top-right corner of the OneNote window or under the View tab.
Click on the 'Feed' button or icon to open the side pane on your screen.
Scroll through the feed to locate your synced Samsung Notes. They will appear here alongside your Microsoft Sticky Notes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move a synced Samsung Note into a standard OneNote notebook?
Yes. Once you open the OneNote Feed and find your Samsung Note, you can copy its contents and paste them into a standard OneNote page within any of your existing notebooks.
Why is my OneNote feed not showing my synced Samsung Notes?
This usually happens if you are signed into different Microsoft accounts on your phone and your PC. Ensure the accounts match exactly, and check your Samsung Notes app settings to confirm that the 'Sync to Microsoft OneNote' toggle is actively enabled.
Are my synced Samsung Notes editable directly within the OneNote Feed?
No, Samsung Notes synced to the OneNote Feed appear as read-only. To edit the text on your PC or Mac, you must copy the content from the feed and paste it into a regular OneNote page or a word processing document.
