I updated to the new version of outlook (2304 build 16327.20248 ) released recently. I noticed that my quick step shortcuts were missing. I messed around in settings to see if I had to add it back but I found nothing. Was quick steps removed in the new version of outlook or is there a way to get it back that I haven't found ?

    Same issue here, now resolved:

    1. Switch to the Classic ribbon to see the quick step box (rather than just the drop down)
    2. Use the drop down to select a quick step (given they weren't displaying by default)

    Result: Using a quick step forced the steps back into view, no longer hidden beneath a drop down.

    Glad to know it's not just me, I tried the new outlook to see how it is and straight away saw that my quick steps hadn't transferred over.

    Furthermore, they don't allow a new message to be sent as a quick step.

    What an oversight!

    How such a functional tool be omitted from a new upgrade does not make sense to me.

    Hopefully it's fixed at some stage.

    At least I am not forced to make the switch just yet.

    Arrgh, I have been using Quick Steps for years...one of my New Message Quick Steps began to malfunction so I attempted to re-create it...after filling in all the options and pressing Save nothing happens! No warning, message, or error. NOTHING! Cancel, or course, works just fine which deletes all the settings and text.

    I see Quick steps in my main Outlook window but it no longer shows as an option in the popout mail window like it used to. Is there a way to turn that on?

    I have the same issue. I have to switch back to the old version for my old quick steps. It would be helpful and appreciated it this became a function in the new version.
