Hi, I used to be able to attach files pdf's etc into a meeting invite in my manager's diary, ie if he had received an invite to a meeting and I wanted to attach all the relevant docs to that meeting (even if I wasn't the owner/initiator of the meeting invite) I could go copy and paste the relevant docs then when you went to close the meeting invite it would ask if you wanted to save to which I would click yes and the result was the docs would all be saved in the calendar invite for ease of access to docs on the day. Now it doesn't seem possible to do that which is really frustrating. What has changed? Please can you respond soon. Thanks

In Outlook, Someone else sent me the meeting/calendar invitation. I accepted, however, the attach icon is grayed out, so there is no way to attach a document that I would like to reference during that meeting.
HI.
This needs to be brought back. As an admin I have been doing this for a long time and it is a key tool for admins to keep their bosses with all their necessary documentation for meetings.
I just discovered that this is no longer an option and my workflow has been crippled because of this decision by MS. I tried the suggestion of adding the document to the response and that does not work.
Please work with your senior partners to bring this feature back. It is a life saver for an assistant.
Why oh why does MS keep changing useful features like this is beyond me. Totally out of touch with how people use Office. Maddening that someone thought this was a good idea. Please, please MS, bring back the copy/paste function into a calendar invites regardless if it someone else created it. This was a seriously useful features which I used daily. I have not yet figured out how to keep on top of e-mails with agenda, minutes, presentations of previous and future meetings, often sent by others then the person who sent the invite.
This is very frustrating and now complicates, things. Previously I could just load the meeting papers inside the calendar invitation that is not our created meeting. He likes to have the meeting papers on hand inside the request, now this is not possible. I have now started to create a separate meeting request adjacent to the calendar invite, and call this new meeting - meeting papers, then I load the papers in there.
Is Microsoft reading this and even listening? Did they test this idea out with PAs before implementing? This makes no sense.
Microsoft please rethink this idea or at the very least provide us with a rationale for removal of this ability? Thank you
