For most RSVP flows, a user will be presented with the option to email an organizer, send an optional message to the organizer, and respond yes/no/maybe to the invite. This is not new functionality, but will be presented earlier in the RSVP flow in some RSVP locations and will have a more consistent visual treatment across all RSVP locations.

Announcing de-duplication of contacts in Outlook Web

Originally posted by Microsoft Oct 21, 2022 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Duplicate contacts are hard to remove manually and as a result people information often remains scattered across contacts. Microsoft is offering end users of Outlook Web App (OWA) the ability to discover duplicate contacts and merge information for a profile into one contact. As a tenant admin of an organization, you are receiving this message because your end users may be introduced to duplicate contact merge suggestions in OWA.

This means that our service will proactively detect duplicate contacts for users of your tenant and will present merge suggestions in OWA. All user merged contacts will appear subsequently in Outlook Desktop and Mobile. As part of feature completeness, we provide an option to control the audience within your organization. You can control the audience for this feature by disabling/enabling the service for a part of your organization or for your entire organization. For details, please refer to the ‘What you need to do to prepare’ section below.
