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!

    The fix I found was this:

    Open command prompt, type olk.exe -clearlocalstate

    after you hit enter it will give you a notification about resetting the profile. Hit ok and re-open outlook.

    Signatures should be restored if they were originally available on the web.

    I closed out Outlook and then came back in and they were back + I had the option to add new. If that doesn't work, try a restart! I think it was just a gliche thank goodness. The ones that were saved came back too!!
