Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Nevermind. Just figured it out :)
If you click the "My Day" icon and then click on the menu (3 dots) it allows you to switch views.

I started using the new Outlook yesterday and it mirrored my current Outlook which was great. My current Outlook, in order from left to right, has my folders, inbox, reading pane, and daily calendar on the far right. Now this morning the daily calendar on the far right is missing. I have been all over the app and cannot locate where I have the option to add it back to the view. I see where I can modify the reading panes but that is it. Help?

Thanks - this was perfect! Do you know by chance how to change the calendar list to a full schedule vs the agenda view? I would like to see the empty slots in my schedule so there's a reference of amount of time I have before I move on to the next meeting.
You're the bomb Dan!
Yes, I meant reading pane. Your pic shows how my old outlook looked, but with the new outlook, the calendar covers up part of the reading pane when open. I would like both to be visible
So has anyone actually found a way to have the calendar not cover up part of the email as in this image? I just want to see the calendar all the time like I used to and not have to close it to see my emails. It is shrinking the reading pane, but not scaling the image. There is a scroll bar to go up or down, but not to go left or right so there is no way to see the right side of the email without closing the pane every time.
Hi Mirarya,
I realized for some of us the calendar pane is overshadowing our reading pane as the UI is not compatible with our screen size. I was getting same issue when I used the outlook app on my laptop, when I shifted the screen to a monitor[bigger screen size], the calendar was no longer overshadowing my reading pane. It got adjusted.
I agree this is not a good fix to things. I would suggest in the meantime go by the suggestion of NRHTX to switch off the new outlook and back to web view as before.
Microsoft is aware, many users are having bad user experience from their new release and they are working on the same. A fix will be provided shortly.
Thank you for your patience.
I also reported the below 3 items, that were driving me crazy. This is the llink https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/officeinsider/forum/offinsd\_outlook-offinsdsub\_win/new-outlook-pin-the-favorites-using-click-to/13256dbd-5b2f-4410-aa36-b2318d8dad2a?messageId=9735dfab-59d5-4f47-9f2e-05eb7b12ede4
I reported it via the new Outlook Pre and also recorded the process. I just hope they fix it soon.
Hello, @Jason Guer,
I am using the new Outlook. From the desktop Outlook version I clicked on (Try the new Outlook), The version number is 1.2023.816.100
I can create favorites; I just want it to minimize to the far left as shown in the desktop version shown in the image that I posted.
I have a few questions: Is this version going to replace the desktop application in the near future?
In addition to what I posted. Number one is what I originally posted.
2. I noticed that when I have a open email, I do not see the option to click on File and Save As. A lot of times, I need this to share emails via our Jira ticketing application.
3. On my calendar, I have it shared with several employees. The desktop application shows the names of the individuals who are sharing with me. In Outlook Pre, there are no names being displayed, and I only see colors.
