Now, add a Story to the newly created Feature:

1. Beside the new feature, click on the "+" symbol
2. Enter the Story Name
3. Click on Save & Close

Now add a Task to the product backlog:

Before adding dates for this Iteration (Sprint), ensure that the newly created User Story and Task are part of this current iteration.  If the Planning Side Pane is not visible:

1. Click on View Options

At this time we will synchronize the changes made in Azure DevOps back to Project Online.  The newly created task details, along with information about the Iteration, User Story and Feature, will be synchronized with the project in Project Online.

1. Click Overview
2. Click Project Online
3. Click Publish to Project
4. Wait for the Publishing to complete

Azure DevOps supports additional work organization objects.  Follow the Microsoft documentation to add and name Epics, so that work objects are organized in both Azure DevOps and Project Online.

Hint: Don't forget to Publish to Project after you have made your changes.
