Did quick parts disappear with the new outlook? I can't access my old quick parts or make new ones. I used this feature daily, I can't find it at all now.

    This is really disappointing. I am like others, dependent on them!

    Hi

    How can you remove the important features of legacy Outlook.

    Quick Parts is essential

    I also am furious MS dumped out quick parts. I just had a professor download the app (to stop using the browser version) to show him all the useful features, only to see Microsoft scrapped it. I can't seem to add Templates to my instance, either.

    For those who want more of the functionality of the old Quick Parts, here's an old school approach (from before they had Quick Parts):

    Workaround Solution: Use MS's "Signature" feature for your quick parts instead.

    1. In an open email, copy the text/content you want to reuse.
    2. Go to 'Insert'
    3. Select the "Signature' dropdown and select 'Signatures..."
    4. Paste the text in the box. Add a name. Save.
    5. In new emails, you can now use the "Signature" dropdown to add the saved content to the email.

    Shout out to my boss for telling me this is how they used to save boilerplate, before Quick Parts was released.

    Shame on Microsoft for not including this useful tool in the current iteration. Please restore this functionality!

    I agree, this is absurd. As a relatively late adopter of quick parts, embracing it greatly improved my workflow. Time for MS to step up and get this done.

    You can go back to the old Outlook. I have the option to switch to the New Outlook now, but I decided to go back to the old Outlook since that still has the Quick Parts. I hope that helps.
