What the notice says
Microsoft’s text, safely structuredComing soon for new Microsoft Outlook for Windows and the web: A new Get diagnostics feature will allow users to submit logs after they open a ticket with Microsoft Support. To submit diagnostic information to a support agent, users will be able to select Get diagnostics in the Help tab, select Upload logs, copy the Support ID that is generated, and then share the Support ID with the support agent.
When this will happen
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late August 2024 and expect to complete by late September 2024.
How this will affect your organization
Before this rollout: Users are not able to provide diagnostics to the Microsoft Support after they open a ticket unless the support agent shows them how to provide them.
After this rollout: Users will find the Get diagnostics feature in the Help tab of the Ribbon if you have enabled it.
This new feature is now off by default, but you can turn it on by following the instructions below. In late September, it will be on by default unless you have turned it off before then.

When you create a policy, after providing a name and setting a scope, you can search for "new outlook" from the Policies screen to see all available policies for new Outlook for Windows. One of these policies is Configure Get diagnostics, which you can change to Not configured or Enabled.
