[FAQs]
How can I access the content captured for all channels in Notes tab?
All members in a team will be able to access the content captured in Notes tab across all standard channels within that team by clicking on the Show navigation icon on left.
How can I add back Notes tab to a channel if it is accidentally removed?
Please note that Notes tab by default is only supported in standard channels at the moment. If your standard channel used to have a Notes tab, you can add it back.
In Teams, go to the channel you want to add the Notes tab again.
In the tabs bar across the top, select Add a tab . The Add a tab window will open.
Select the OneNote tile. The OneNote window will open.
Select the “Default team notebook” for your team, then select Save.
A tab with the team notebook name will be added in the tabs bar across the top. Right-click the tab to rename it to “Notes”.

Go to the Notes tab and select the show navigation icon. Create a new section in this notebook and give it the same name as the Teams channel.

Note: Having a dedicated section for each channel will help avoid confusion for others who access the notebook.
In the section, create a page, name it, and start taking notes.
