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:
-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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Yes, it was letting you click download and choose a save to place for about 3 weeks and then it stopped and back to the old way. Sucks but Save to PDF still works for me so that's what I'll use until they make the other way permanent.
Right you are! The feature was live for a few weeks (?), then recently disappeared again!?
That forced me back to old Outlook until they restore it (again).
MS: How does your dev team roll out a new (old) feature, then yank it back? That's bush-league stuff IMO.
This post was created in May 2023. People have been complaining for losing that basic feature for a year and it's still not there. Even worse, as mentioned they put it for a limited time then it disappeared again for whatever reason.
New outlook is the proof that people at Microsoft don't use their own product
Just adding my voice to what seems to be the major public opinion: please please add the "Save as" option to the New Outlook download options. It is as frustrating as annoying (and time consuming = money not well spent if you have a job that pays by the hour) to manually move the files from wherever they wind up to the project folders where they should be.
There are a lot of other time consuming irritaters and frustraters in New Outlook, A LOT, so check out the feedback I have been sending you for the past 6 months or so.
