We just started August but Microsoft still owed us the July 2024 feature update of Outlook for Microsoft 365 Apps in the Current Channel.
For the 3rd month in a row, there is no new feature for any of the Office applications. There are a good few fixes across all apps though.
In total, there are 3 fixes for Outlook, and 1 fix in Word and 1 fix in shared Office components which also relate to Outlook.
- We fixed an issue that caused users to be unable to see the categories they applied to an email until after they closed the email window.
- We fixed an issue that caused Copilot drafts to display incorrectly with non-Latin character sets.
- We resolved an issue by implementing an admin-controlled policy for MailTips. This policy ensures that users receive notifications when their emails are blocked, restricted, or contain sensitive information.
- Resolved an issue where characters could appear corrupted when opening RTF emails. (Word)
- We fixed a problem specific to Rich Text Format emails, where images inserted into the email would become degraded when the email was saved as a draft. (Office)
Note: Depending on your installation type, this update can be installed via the Update Now button in Outlook or the Microsoft Store and updates Outlook to: Version 2406 (Build 17726.20126).
