Deployment overview for the new Outlook for Windows
The new Outlook for Windows client installer is now available either from the Microsoft Store or the Office Content Delivery Network (CDN).
The new Outlook is currently offered as a preview upgrade to classic Outlook for Windows through a toggle. Users can opt in to download the installer and switch to the new experience and can choose to migrate settings and install add-ins from classic Outlook. After users toggle in, they’ll see their supported accounts migrated from classic Outlook for Windows to the new Outlook.
Note
Users need to sign back in to accounts that can’t automatically authenticate via Windows Single Sign-On.
The toggle experience is the recommended way for users to get the new Outlook for Windows. It’s currently an end-user opt-in mechanism, although admins can control the availability of the toggle in classic Outlook for Windows. In the future, we’re making it easier for organizations to smoothly transition end-users to the new Outlook for Windows. Once switched, users can return to the classic Outlook for Windows.
The new Outlook for Windows is also available as the upgrade from the Windows Mail and Calendar apps through a toggle. Users who toggle in from Mail and Calendar also see their accounts listed for easy sign-in in the new app.
