I often have to send alot of the same email, but slightly different variations. In the old outlook, I would go to my Drafts and CTRL + C and then CTRL + V to make multiple copies of the same draft email.
I am not able to do this in the New Outlook 365. Is there a workaround or new way to do this?

It's a lot harder to send multiple emails now. I have to send the same email to different people separately, with different attachments, but the content in the message is the same. Before I could press CTRL + F and it would duplicate the email. Now you're saying I have to just forward, which adds more information at the top and takes up more time. Is there a way we can add the CTRL + F back.
Agree, plse bring ensure we can still use CRTL C and CTRL V to copy and paste. The new look is fine but no point to being overwhelemed with options if you can t perform the simplest tasks you always did with ease.
I feel forwarding an email is unacceptable as a solution because this doesn't copy the To/CC/BCC and adds more text. This was part of the classic Outlook, so why was it removed for the updated/new version? Could this be brought back as it is a simple copy/paste?
Hi Mary,
Good day.
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft community.
According to the description "to make multiple copies of the same draft email.
I am not able to do this in the New Outlook 365. Is there a workaround or new way to do this?"
I have checked, several things, currently we can choose Forward option via right click on email under Draft folder to make copy of same email, but we need to edit copied draft email before sending email from Draft folder. Because the Forward action will create some additional thigs in email body.
Please note that it is just temporary workaround, it may not be very perfect, but at least it can help at certain level for copy of draft email.

Furthermore, in order to add some specific features under the new Outlook experience, the Microsoft's related product team needs guidance from the users' side so that they can create a more convenient feature in the product for the users. To do this, would you mind sharing your valuable and unique ideas directly with our product design team via Microsoft feedback portal platform?
Here's the most recent example to understand the role of the product team based on user feedback:
Recently, our different product teams are still developing a lot of things in product services, such as the new Outlook, the new Teams app experience, functions, and based on the different suggestions, our product developer team can conveniently design and develop new features and functions in the Different product experience so that all users can use the product seamlessly. But, to do this, we have to give very strong ideas to the product development team. Product teams are also comparing the proportion of user feedback and upvotes to make decisions to upgrade and develop products with more convenient features options.
I'm sharing the URL link for the feedback portal so that you and others can directly send valuable feedback and expertise to our product development team: Outlook · Community (microsoft.com)
This feedback portal is regularly reviewed by the relevant developer team to get feedback from users for product development. I will also give my opinion to this relevant team for developing convenient features for new Outlook experience.
I will really appreciate your kind cooperation and valuable time.
Sincerely
Darpan
