00:00:00,05 --> 00:00:02,01
- [Instructor] In this course I'll be using

2
00:00:02,01 --> 00:00:03,04
the new version of Outlook,

3
00:00:03,04 --> 00:00:06,00
which is still in preview at the time I'm recording

4
00:00:06,00 --> 00:00:08,01
but probably will be generally available

5
00:00:08,01 --> 00:00:10,05
by the time you're watching this course.

6
00:00:10,05 --> 00:00:12,02
In the upper right hand corner

7
00:00:12,02 --> 00:00:16,00
there's a toggle button that says, "Try the new Outlook."

8
00:00:16,00 --> 00:00:20,01
And even a banner that wants to talk me into trying it.

9
00:00:20,01 --> 00:00:22,03
When I click this Try the new Outlook button

10
00:00:22,03 --> 00:00:27,01
the very first time, it will take perhaps five to 10 minutes

11
00:00:27,01 --> 00:00:30,04
for the preview to load because it gets downloaded,

12
00:00:30,04 --> 00:00:34,00
you'll be prompted to log in a couple of times,

13
00:00:34,00 --> 00:00:36,04
and you'll be provided with an opportunity

14
00:00:36,04 --> 00:00:39,07
to import not just all of your data that you have here

15
00:00:39,07 --> 00:00:42,05
but also to import your settings.

16
00:00:42,05 --> 00:00:44,09
Things like where do you have your preview pane?

17
00:00:44,09 --> 00:00:46,02
Mine's on the right.

18
00:00:46,02 --> 00:00:47,07
Are you using dark mode?

19
00:00:47,07 --> 00:00:48,05
I'm not.

20
00:00:48,05 --> 00:00:50,07
So all of those settings that are part of Outlook

21
00:00:50,07 --> 00:00:53,03
can be applied to the new Outlook automatically

22
00:00:53,03 --> 00:00:56,07
from the classic Outlook that we're looking at right now.

23
00:00:56,07 --> 00:00:58,01
Two other thoughts.

24
00:00:58,01 --> 00:01:01,08
Currently, one of the downsides of going to the new Outlook

25
00:01:01,08 --> 00:01:05,00
is that your archive files,

26
00:01:05,00 --> 00:01:07,05
which are files with the extension .pst

27
00:01:07,05 --> 00:01:10,07
where you have probably put older email messages,

28
00:01:10,07 --> 00:01:13,05
are not available in the new Outlook at this point,

29
00:01:13,05 --> 00:01:14,09
but they will be.

30
00:01:14,09 --> 00:01:17,08
Microsoft is adding new features

31
00:01:17,08 --> 00:01:20,04
to the new Outlook all the time.

32
00:01:20,04 --> 00:01:22,09
But once you have gone through the process

33
00:01:22,09 --> 00:01:25,09
of clicking Try the new Outlook once,

34
00:01:25,09 --> 00:01:30,00
the next time you turn it on, all you do is click Switch,

35
00:01:30,00 --> 00:01:33,03
Outlook will close and will reopen,

36
00:01:33,03 --> 00:01:35,08
and you will be in the new Outlook.

37
00:01:35,08 --> 00:01:38,03
As you can see right here, New Outlook.

38
00:01:38,03 --> 00:01:42,06
And you click that same toggle to go back and forth.

39
00:01:42,06 --> 00:01:45,04
If you find that after checking out new Outlook

40
00:01:45,04 --> 00:01:49,01
you would like to remain in classic Outlook,

41
00:01:49,01 --> 00:01:51,06
then this course will be of less use to you.

42
00:01:51,06 --> 00:01:53,09
However, you will also find

43
00:01:53,09 --> 00:01:57,03
in the LinkedIn Learning Library classic Outlook tips

44
00:01:57,03 --> 00:02:00,01
and tricks that will show you how to work

45
00:02:00,01 --> 00:02:03,00
in the classic version of Outlook.
