explanation for non-techies**

In the Outlook app for Android, there's a new feature that makes it easier to share documents via email. Imagine you're flipping through a magazine and find an article you want to share with a friend. Instead of tearing out the page, finding an envelope, and mailing it, you can now simply tap a button and the article is instantly ready to be sent.

Similarly, when you're previewing a document in the Outlook app, you can now start a new email with that document already attached. This streamlines the process, saving you the steps of downloading the document, opening a new email, and then attaching the file. It's like having a digital assistant who preps everything for you so you can focus on crafting your message. This feature is designed to enhance productivity and make document sharing more seamless for users on the go.
