No 'SAVE AS' option for attachments in new Outlook desktop app

Dear All,

Outlook offered to switch my application to the new Outlook version (there is a switch item below the window close button).

It looks like the in-browser version and works better than the former, but it has a missing option in the attachments drop-down menu, called 'save as'.

We get a lot of documents in our emails, which should be saved in different projects' locations on a local hard drive. The in-browser version and the former desktop app have this option but this new app does not.

How can I add this function back again?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

István

    Hi,

    You can click on the attached file and it opens the preview, then you just need to press Ctrl+S and that opens ''save as'.

    Hope it helps.

    Thank you Diana Guedes, Ctrl-S (Save As...) works for me without going back to the Classic.

    This works! Thank you for the tip. I hope everyone sees your answer. I like the new version and this will allow me to keep using it.

    This certainly helps for a temporary fix. Thank you for posting.

    For the Microsoft folks, we still don't have the option to view the file from within the preview pane or to "save as" without having to open a separate window. Furthermore, the "Save all attachments" option is not available, which is critical for those of us who receive emails with many attachments that can be saved in bulk

    I have the same question, such a basic thing, is this a strategy to force you to save to one drive?
