Summary:
Outlook is replacing the quick compose pop-up with inline appointment creation in the new Outlook for Windows and web. The rollout timeline has been updated, with Targeted Release starting early December 2024 and General Availability beginning late January 2024. No admin action is required for this update.
Details:
Updated November 20, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
In new Outlook for Windows and web, when single-clicking on an empty time slot on the calendar surface, the quick compose pop-up will no longer appear. Instead, you will be able to create an appointment by typing directly in the time slot on the calendar grid, just as you can in classic Outlook for Windows. There will be no change to double-click behavior; the full compose form will still open as it does today.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 406948.
[When this will happen:]
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early December 2024 (previously early November) and expect to complete by early January 2025 (previously early December).
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late January 2025 (previously early December) and expect to complete by early February 2025 (previously early January).

Direct effects for Operations**
User Experience Change in Appointment Creation
Users will need to adapt to a new method of creating appointments directly in the calendar grid, which may initially confuse those accustomed to the quick compose pop-up.
