Microsoft rolled out an update last night for the OneNote app to Insiders that have chosen to Skip Ahead to Windows 10 (Redstone 4); the release bumps the app to Version 17.8568.5751 and adds plenty of new features, which can be seen below.
Changelog:

Create a link to a specific paragraph and jump to that content. It"s a great way to make a quick table of contents at the top of a long page of notes, or copy the link and paste it in an email to help others find the specific content you want them to see.
Microsoft also noted that, for the moment, app updates are only rolling out to Skip Ahead Insiders and that "all other Insiders won"t receive app updates from the Windows Store until they are released to everyone". Fast and Slow ring Insiders will once again get app previews after the Windows 10 Fall Creators update has been released in October.
For now, if you are in the Skip Ahead ring, you can check out these OneNote features right now, or head to the Windows Store to update the app.
