Microsoft Outlook: Replace quick compose pop-up with inline appointment creation in new Outlook for Windows and web
Outlook’s new update replaces the quick compose pop-up with inline appointment creation on the calendar. Rollout starts in September 2024 for Targeted Release and October 2024 for General Availability, completing by November 2024. No admin action needed, but users should be informed.
In new Outlook for Windows and web, when single-clicking on an empty time slot on the calendar surface, the quick compose pop-up will no longer appear. Instead, you will be able to create an appointment by typing directly in the time slot on the calendar grid, just as you can in classic Outlook for Windows. There will be no change to double-click behavior; the full compose form will still open as it does today.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 406948.
When this will happen:
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early September 2024 and expect to complete by early October 2024.
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early October 2024 and expect to complete by early November 2024.
How this will affect your organization:
This may affect how users create appointments quickly on the calendar surface. We expect this to be a better experience, especially for those familiar with classic Outlook inline appointment creation.
This update is available by default.
What you need to do to prepare:
This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
