How to change download destination in "New Outlook" (May 2023)

Anonymous

I recently switched over to try the "New Outlook". In the older layout version of Outlook, when downloading an attachment I had multiple options on how that attachment could be saved to my computer. The main option I utilized was simply " Save As". In the "New Outlook" version, that option is no longer there. Is there a way to customize the options you see when downloading an attachment? Here are the options it gives:

  • Preview

-Edit in Browser

-Edit in Excel desktop app (it was an excel file in this case)

-Save to OneDrive

-Download

The old options would have:

-Preview

-Open

-Quick Print

-Save As

Save All Attachments

-Upload

-Remove Attachment

-Copy

-Select All

Really looking for the "Save As" option so I can navigate to the final destination folder.

Thanks.

    I have gotten used to clicking on the file to open it up, print it from there and after the file prints you can click to save as and it will save it as the original name to any file you want. You can also open it up and click to print and cancel the print if you don't want it printed, but still click on the save as and repeat the save to file location.

    After working with it for a day it really started to become second nature.

    I love everything but that feature. My workaround is to download it to your PC, cut the download and place it in the folder you wish it to be in

    hi,

    can you please direct me to revert the older version where "save as" option is available.

    Thanks
