Who Doesn't Love New Features!

If you're like me, you love discovering new tools that make your life easier. Well, you're in luck because Outlook has rolled out two fantastic features that are sure to boost your productivity: the Snooze feature and the Org Explorer. Let's dive in and see how these can help you stay on top of your game.

Snooze: Take Control of Your Inbox

Ever felt overwhelmed by the flood of emails in your inbox? We've all been there. The new Snooze feature in Outlook is here to help. This handy tool lets you temporarily remove emails from your inbox and bring them back at a time that suits you. It's like hitting the pause button on your emails!

Here's how it works:

1. Select an Email: Open your Outlook and go to your inbox. Find the email you want to snooze.

2. Click Snooze: You'll see a clock icon at the top of the ribbon. Click on it.

3. Choose a Time: You can pick a predefined time or set a custom date and time for the email to reappear in your inbox.

This feature is perfect for those emails that you can't deal with right away but don't want to forget about. Whether it's a reminder for a meeting next week or a follow-up you need to send later, Snooze helps you keep your inbox tidy and your mind clear.

Org Explorer: Navigate Your Company with Ease

Next up is the Org Explorer. If you've ever struggled to figure out who reports to whom or wanted to learn more about your colleagues, this feature is a game-changer. Org Explorer provides a visual representation of your company's structure, making it easy to see how everyone fits together.

Here's what you can do with Org Explorer:

1. Search for a Person: Type a name or alias into the search bar to find someone in your organisation.

2. View Manager Chains: See all the managers above the person you're looking at, along with their direct and indirect reports.

3. Explore Peers and Teams: Find out who else reports to the same manager and see the teams they work with.

4. Detailed Profiles: Click on a person to view their contact information, role, and who they collaborate with.

Org Explorer is especially useful for new employees trying to get a sense of the company or for anyone looking to understand the reporting structure better. It's like having a company directory at your fingertips, but way more interactive and informative.
