🔎 Key Differences (Old vs New)

• Old Outlook: “Address Book” terminology
• New Outlook: “Directory” (same thing, cleaner UI)
• New Outlook: Everything is in the left panel (less ribbon-heavy)

⚠️ Common Issues

• Can’t find the person?
  • They may not be in your organization directory
• Calendar won’t open?
  • You likely don’t have permission → they need to share it
• Only see “busy/free”?
  • That’s default permission level—ask for more detail access
