Microsoft 365 Copilot, New Outlook, and Other Apps Latest Features and Solutions

Welcome to TRACCreations4E, where we Explore, Experiment, and Execute Effectively.

My channel covers training videos of Microsoft 365 Online and Desktop products like Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Teams. Microsoft's classic products are evolving with modern technology, and I want to share the digital learnings with you.

My videos focus on implementing the feature and cover the best practices, known issues, or workaround methods. I spend time using and vetting the features (this is what I call the 4Es learning method), so you don't have to. By understanding the big picture, you are empowered and can simplify your workday - all day - every day.

Background: Degree in Computer Science / IT and SharePoint Analyst / IT Support / SharePoint Trainer

Oops! Deleted the folder? Broken Rules! Broken Workflow!

Ever had this happen? You set up a rule in New Outlook, feeling super organized… then delete the folder it’s tied to. Weeks later, you’re scratching your head, wondering why that rule isn’t working. 🤔

In the New Outlook, you’ll now get an alert before deleting a folder. 🙌


Your IT team is probably doing a happy dance right now—no more chasing down broken rules! 🎉


What do you think of this feature? Game-changer or just a nice-to-have? Drop your thoughts below! 👇

POLL: Should Microsoft retire the “My Templates” add-in?

New Outlook Mail Templates finally work the way users need — full formatting, images, tables, and easy sharing. But the older My Templates add-in is still in New Outlook, and Microsoft knows the naming confusion is a problem. They’re considering a change, but haven’t said what or when.

You be the judge. Watch these two videos and decide for yourself:
📌 New Outlook Mail Templates

📌 My Template Add-in (limitations shown at timestamp)

Share your thoughts in the comments, and I will pass them on to Microsoft.
