Hi,
At my company we have switched to the new Outlook version.
I am now trying to find a way to categorize the outlook calendar in similar way as in previous version. Then I could add contitional formatting on the categories (person, workd ertc) and get a good overview in my calendar.
I can not find this functionality anynore
It is not sufficient to right klick on a meeting and change category manually.
Greatful if you can support in this question, it really helps my efficiency.
Best Regards Karin

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I very much need this feature for work and it would be wonderful if it were re-added to outlook or i'm going to have to use a different Calendar app until it's added again.
I also would like for this feature to be added back in please.
I am looking for the same feature in new outlook but can't seem to find it yet. Are there any updates on when this will be available?
