Is your organisation ready for Microsoft’s “New Outlook”?
“New Outlook” is a refreshed version of the Outlook for Windows app, offering a more modern and simplified user experience. Designed to be more agile, deliver features faster and provide a consistent experience across Windows, it’s not a replacement for the classic desktop program – rather an evolution!
What’s New with the “New Outlook”?
Microsoft has announced a progressive roll-out of the “New Outlook”, allowing organisations to manage the transition to this new experience across the enterprise. Many organisations are already transitioning to the “New Outlook”, others planning the move over the coming months.
Microsoft has advised that…
“New Outlook on Windows aims to unify the extensibility experience across all Outlook platforms. To provide a more reliable and stable add-in experience, VSTO and COM add-ins aren’t supported on the new Outlook on Windows.”
VSTO is a set of development tools used to create custom solutions and add-ins for Microsoft Office applications. These tools allow developers to extend Office applications’ functionality and customize the user interface (UI) using Visual Studio and .NET. VSTO add-ins can automate tasks, add new features and integrate with other applications.
Microsoft is focusing on a new platform for Outlook add-ins based on Office add-ins, which utilises technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. To continue using add-in in the “New Outlook”, VSTO add-ins need to be migrated to this new Office add-ins platform.
