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

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.
The color choices could also be better. I prefer bright colors when categorizing my calendar! Appointments pop out more with bright colors vs the darker drabby colors currently offered.
Microsoft please prioritize adding this feature (conditional formatting for calendar) back! Also please offer better color choices! Bright colors "pop" vs darker. I find categorizing my calendar with brighter colors is more beneficial than using the darker drabby colors.
Same here! Please update this. It's a crucial feature in the calendar for me.
Also missing this feature... Please add this to New Outlook ASAP!
