Microsoft has released the May 2024 feature update of Outlook for Microsoft 365 Apps in the Current Channel.
There is no new feature for any of the Office applications but there is finally a fix for needing to send meeting updates to everyone.
In total, there are 10 fixes for Outlook and 1 fix in Word that also relates to Outlook.

- We fixed an issue that caused users to be unable to view the “Permission granted by” information on Digitally Rights Managed messages.
- We fixed an issue that caused Outlook to exit unexpectedly when using Copilot Summarize.
- We fixed an issue that caused users to see no prompt to send updates to attendees after removing attendees from a meeting on a shared calendar where the location of the meeting was set.
- We fixed an issue that caused updates made by delegates to the “Show As” setting on a manager’s calendar fail to be persisted after clicking “Send Update.”

- We fixed an issue that caused the “Edit Meeting” button to disappear when a series exception is the first item opened in the Outlook session.

- We fixed an issue that caused Outlook users with E3 licenses to be unable to open protected meeting invitations without going to the web.
