I previously had a button called add focus time in my outlook 2016 however that option is now missing. Is there any way to add that back?

    I have Outlook 365 Version 2403 (Build 17425.20146) and I am facing the same issue.

    Around a month ago I had this button, then it was gone for a week or two then came back for a day and disappeared for good ;)

    It is a very helpful button and I want it back.

    Anticipating future advice, to be honest, I don't care about the functionality of the automatic focus plan in Viva Insights. It doesn't work the way I need to book my Focus Time. In my case, it works ad hoc, so I need a button which can quickly help me to schedule Focus time on-the-go.

    Is anyone actually looking at this issue? The Add Focus Time seems to have disappeared for a few users.

    Update: This feature was taken away with the latest patches. I've been advised by a Microsoft support contact to create an idea post to have Microsoft consider adding the feature back. That said, if you would like this feature back, this is the link to my "idea" post, you should be able to upvote it to help attract Microsoft's attention: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/ebda7d40-b2f5-ee11-a73d-6045bd841c15

    Totally agree with Adam! Viva Insights is not helpful at all!

    Agreed. I had it earlier this week and now it is gone.
