Add folder from a shared mailbox to favorites

Hi,

I am using the "new" Outlook for Windows. It seems that it is no longer possible to move a folder from a shared mailbox to the favorites folder. This used to be possible in the "old" version. Is this feature gone or am I overlooking something?

Thanks for your help.

    After expending a bit of effort to research this, I discovered that this feature is included in the "Targeted Release" update, which can be enabled in the Org Settings page of O365 Admin Portal. See the snip above, you can select the target audience for this release.

    I'd appreciate a screenshot of the rolled out feature even more! :-)

    Hopefully everyone can see this snippet below - showing that it is currently being rolled out.

    If you see previous replies - it is currently being rolled out but may take some time to get to everyone. Some people can add folders to favourites now, so I guess it's just a matter of try and try again. Eventually, we will all HAVE to move to the new version, so really hope they do it properly.
