In addition, it contains 1 new feature and 3 non-security fixes related to Outlook Monthly Enterprise Version 2305.

  • Block emails with sensitive labels
    Implement pop-up messages in Outlook that warn, justify, or block emails being sent based on sensitivity labels.
  • We fixed an issue where the application would close unexpectedly when searching using dates.
  • We fixed an issue that caused users to see the error, “We cannot render Actionable Messages right now” when reading some email messages.

Version 2302 has now also been released to the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel and contains 1 highlighted new features and 25 fixes which have been made available already to the other release channels. The new feature and some notable fixes are;

  • Improved Calendar Search
    Improvements have been made to Calendar search, largest of which is the ability to more easily find the next occurrence of a series in search results.

  • We fixed an issue that caused Outlook to close unexpectedly when using Loop Components in an email.
