📢 Microsoft adds a new Notifications pane in Outlook

The new Notifications pane in Outlook helps you stay on task

The new Notifications pane in Outlook delivers notifications that are relevant to you in the context of your regular email. The pane gives you the ability to customize the types of notifications you wish to receive, including email and document @mentions, travel updates, deliveries, and more.

To turn on the new pane, simply select the Notifications icon at the top-right corner of your Outlook window.
