Outlook client no longer showing "Coming Soon" or the "Use Tighter Spacing" buttons

Split from this thread.

Hello,

I have the same problem since a few weeks.

The checkbox "coming soon" has disappeared on my three PC which were connected to my Office 365 account.

And the "Tighter Spacing" has also disappeared.

For all after a Microsoft Office update of the Office Insider channel.

The display of the Outlook window returned to the old Office 2016 theme.

I think it's an update who accidently delete the "coming soon" function (and I don't know why the "Tighter Spacing" is reserved to the "Coming soon" function ...).

Microsoft must restore this fonctionnality to get back the "Tighter Spacing".

I have tried to update manually Office but the last updates have not reactivated the "Coming Soon" ...

    Hi Jesse

    Original poster here from this thread (which was split from here)

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_outlook-mso_win10-mso_o365b/outlook-client-no-longer-showing-coming-soon-or/192ac898-215b-4553-af25-966965f00d40

    What you said I guess makes sense - but does it seem normal that tighter spacing comes and goes on the same Outlook version - on the SAME PC? Literally, I can re-start the PC one day and I have Tighter Spacing, the next day not. Or vice versa!

    Coming Soon will only show when there is a feature that is being tested in Coming Soon. If there isn't, the toggle will not appear in the UI. 

    I am currently seeing Use Tighter Spacing button on the 1907 (11901.20038) build when using both the simplified ribbon and the traditional ribbon. It appears that the feature is not turned on for 100% of devices, so you may see it come and go until it is out to 100%. That is normal, and we appreciate your patience.

    Okay, just to know, are you using the insider channel ? If yes, mensual or insider ?

    I am sure that it's a Microsoft Office update ...

    Hi tnicolas, original poster here (!)

    I no longer have "Coming Soon" as an option at all. But I do intermittently get "Tighter Spacing" (eg it was there yesterday, but not today!)

    So to confirm, it IS possible to have "Tighter Spacing" without "Coming Soon".

    But not having "Tighter Spacing" is frustrating - even more so as it is coming and going with me (it works fine on 2 PCs, and is on-and-off on 1 other PC)
