How to stop notifications in the new notifications pane?

Anonymous

Recently, Outlook added a notifications icon that expands a pane. It has a lot of dreck from all Office applications, such as Word comments. I looked in Outlook options but only see tabs for tasks and emails. Is there a way to just tell Outlook not to report any of the notifications?

Good morning, ithinktfiam.

Thanks for reaching out to our Microsoft Community Forum. Please accept our sincerest hope that all is well.

We understand that you would like to stop notifications in the new notification pane of Outlook.

This article below actually shows just how to do that. I've added a photo for more clarity as well.

As you can see from step 3 in the photo above you can actually turn off notifications.

Feel free to reply to this thread if you need further clarification or help.

Sincerely,

Glenn Rue

Can this be turned off globally for all users via Exchange Admin (M365)?

You've exactly captured this "feature" that I have been trying to deal with for weeks now. Microsoft Support has been polite and thoroughly unhelpful resolving this issue. In my mind, the Notifications Pane was programmed incorrectly without an option to just turn the damn thing off.
