Why can't I add multiple signatures in New Outlook anymore?

It looks like this has just been updated. I can only have one signature?
I don't want this, I want a different reply signature to my original signature.
I want a saved signature that I can have for out of office.
I want a saved signature I can have for special occassions.

This update (along with the majority on New Outlook updates) sucks.

The update also deleted all of my signatures that were existing which is very frustrating!

    I am having the exact same issue. We have multiple users in our office under one account and somehow the signatures we had set up disappeared and when trying to re-add multiple signatures the 'add new' or adding additional signatures is no longer available. The new outlook will not allow for more than one signature - it did until today!

    Same as everyone else.

    My outlook was working fine yesterday. I had 3 signatures I was able to choose to sign off my emails with then today it froze and restarted.

    It has wiped all my saved signatures and when I go to recreate them it doesn't allow me to add more than one. I have wasted so much work time trying to figure out what was going wrong. Kinda glad to see it wasn't just me but at the same time furious that we are all having to deal with this. My boss has not been pleased at how much time I'm wasting instead of working!

    I hope I return on Monday to find I'm not having to revert back to old school ways of copying and pasting my signature like I'm doing now!!

    Fix this issue pronto please.

    I have the same issue, and this is a major disappointment. Multiple signatures is something many clearly use.

    This feature needs to be restored.

    It's a bug, glitch, mistake etc. The feature hasn't been removed and they have said they are investigating and we all hope it gets fixed asap, ideally in the next couple of days. Don't forget to click the link "I have the same question" under the original post to show just how many are being effected.

    I have the same issue and found a solution. (Fingers crossed that it sticks!). I opened the web version of Outlook in browser and confirmed both of my signatures were there. Then, I closed the New Outlook desktop app and relaunched it. After I did that, both signatures and the option to add more do appear in Outlook>Settings>Accounts>Signatures. I also verified the correct signatures are being added when I compose or reply to emails.
