    Hi @Oktawia

    Thank you for posting your question to the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    In the new Outlook experience, the options you mentioned are no longer available when you right-click. This change is part of the updated design aimed at simplifying the interface and improving overall usability.

    However, you can still access these functionalities through the Ribbon, which now provides an enhanced and more organized set of tools. The Ribbon is designed to make frequently used actions easier to find and offers additional customization options so you can tailor it to your workflow. 

    To access these features: 

    1. Navigate to the Ribbon at the top of your Outlook window. 
    2. Look for the relevant command group (such as Message, Insert, or Options) depending on the action you want to perform.

    This approach ensures you have full control over your Outlook experience while benefiting from the modern interface improvements. 

    I hope this guidance helps you navigate the new Outlook experience. Please try the steps outlined above to access the functionalities through the Ribbon. 

    Thank you for your patience and understanding as we adapt to these changes. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. I am here to help. 

    I look forward to hearing back from you.

    Hi,

    In my opinion this update does not simplify the interface or improve overall usability. The right-hand button with options was more convenient than searching for functions on the bar. It also seems to me that the number of functions has been reduced. It is no longer possible to translate text in a new message... but instead I can insert an emoji...
