Accessing notes created on desktop in OWA

Hello, I mostly use the Outlook desktop version (Macbook) and occasionally access Outlook through the OWA. I have noticed that the notes that I create in Outlook desktop are not available in OWA. There are times when I need to use my notes when I'm not physically in front of my work computer. I've searched high and low in OWA and have not found what I need.

There is a tasks app that saves my flagged emails, but still no notes. There is also the OneNote app but that is a separate app from notes within Outlook. I would very much love if you can add a way for a user to save and access their notes within Outlook both desktop and OWA. If you want to push use of OneNote then Outlook notes should automatically sync there. I guess this isn't so much a question and more of a request. But if anyone here has a way to access their notes created on desktop I would very much appreciate it! 

This is the notes view from the desktop:

 

And this is the Outlook view from OWA:

Outlook | MacOS | Legacy Outlook for Mac | For home

    Hi Safi,

    Outlook on the web does not support the Notes module. If you know a word in the note you need (and it's fairly unique), you can find them using search. Notes will show [Unknown] as the sender and have the note icon in the search list.

    Tip: assign a category in outlook desktop to the notes, then you can search for the category.
