Rollout

Roadmap

Rollout dates are often only in the text. When Microsoft moves them, the change shows under "What changed".

Schedule dates changed in the text

Date phrases in schedule sentences differ between the versions this installation saw

Read from date phrases in Microsoft's text, not from notice metadata. A changed phrase can be a moved rollout, a new milestone or just rewording; "What changed" below shows which.

What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, safely structured

Updated July 22, 2024: Moving forward please refer to MC798682 for updated information. You can safely disregard this post.

With the new sync window, users can choose how many days' worth of emails and attachments they want to download to their iOS or Android device so they can always access them even while offline.

Note: The emails/attachments will be stored internally as a cache since every time a user changes their sync window (decrease) we do a clean-up of all saved data. They cannot choose the location for that matter.

When this will happen

Moving forward please refer to MC798682.

How this will affect your organization

This change will give users more control over what messages and attachments are being saved to their device. By choosing sync settings that better accommodate their necessities, they can use Outlook Mobile even while they're not connected to their cellular data or Wi-Fi.

Android:

What you need to do to prepare

Update training and documentation as appropriate so users can determine how many days they'd prefer to sync to their device; we currently provide a 90-day limit.
