Cannot import .ics file into Outlook (new) app

I am not sure if anyone has shared a solution yet but I figured it out.

Open your calendar in outlook. Then go to the folder where the ICS file is and Open With the New Outlook. It should automatically open the Add Calendar screen on the Upload from File section. There you can select the file from Browse or drag and drop the ICS.

Additionally, you can just click Add Calendar and select the Upload from File option on the left side of the screen. Then upload the ICS file.

It imports it directly to the calendar without giving the option to edit first, so you will need to find the even in the calendar if you want to edit it. Annoying but the best option I have been able to find.

Yeah I know.. sucks really! My only work around was to open the download with classic outlook, via opening with app option to see the other outlook listed there and open it.

I click on Open and nothing happens. I can only see the file saved to a folder. Do I need to do something BEFORE I click on Open? This is such a piece of @#%$! I don't understand why Microsoft didn't have a simple import of calendar invitations. What a cluster...

Please HELP!

Thank you,

Laura

LOL Microsoft could not give a **** about customers. in my opinion care little about you. The fact they forced you to lose a perfectly good calendar tool and gave you a non- functioning piece of **** should tell they don’t care. Heck this forum isn’t even monitored by microcrap people who could help us.

Wow, in prior versions all you had to do was click on it. Great solution Microsoft!

This worked perfectly, thank you! Just wished Microsoft could take care of these basic issues
