Edit/Add Meeting Notes on meeting invite sent from someone else

I have a user who used, supposedly, used to be able to add note/details to a meeting they were invited to for our president.

For instance, the user Sally, received and accepted a meeting on behalf of John from Meeting Organizer. Sally would then be able to add notes about travel arrangements for John into the meeting she accepted on John's calendar. Now, she is no longer able to edit/add these details or the meeting at all.

Is it possible to add notes/details to a meeting invite from someone else? I am not interested in the OneNote plug-in function that allows you to edit a note for a meeting in OneNote. We would want to do this only inside Outlook.

User has full owner rights to the mailbox and calendar and we've tried it with added delegate rights and without.

First make sure you are on the Beta Channel or CC Preview latest build. This new feature will be in Current Channel later this week in Version 2311 (Version page, Update history).

Go to the Calendar tab in Outlook and add an appointment to your calendar. It can be anything. Double click on that appointment to open it and then click File, Options, Customize Ribbon, etc. Rest of steps from Known Issue article below.

    Trying to update to v2311 in order to get the fix but I cannot get my system to update past v2010. When I try to 'check for updates' it comes back and says my system is up to date.

    Allan,

    Check what Office Channel you are on by clicking File, Office Account, under About Outlook. If you are on Version 2310 then you are probably on Monthly Channel. It will get Version 2311 on January 9th.

    If you want to switch to Current Channel, use the registry key in this article, Use a registry command to install Microsoft 365 Insider on Windows devices - Microsoft 365 Insider | Microsoft Learn.

    1. In Windows Search box search for Command prompt, right click Command Prompt and click Run as Administrator
    2. In the Command Prompt window paste this command and press Enter

    reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\officeupdate /v updatebranch /t REG_SZ /d Current

    1. In Outlook click File, Office Account, Update Options, Update Now, to start to switch to CC and expect to restart Outlook to complete the update
