summary for non-techies**
Microsoft is introducing a "batching" feature in Outlook for Windows desktop and the web, which will group related notifications together in the Notification pane, starting rollout in December 2024 and reaching general availability by February 2025.
Direct effects for Operations**
Notification Overload
Users may experience confusion or frustration due to the change in how notifications are displayed, leading to missed important messages if they are not aware of the batching feature.
