Outlook suggested times pane missing

Question

My outlook suggested times pane disappeared again a few weeks ago. However, I cannot seem to troubleshoot and fix it this time. Does anyone know how to get this back. It is essential for the work my co-workers and I do, and we are really struggling now with it missing. It looked like the below and would be in the scheduling assistant on the right-hand side. You could have 15 attendees and it would show which days were good, fair, or poor for scheduling. It was so helpful, especially for recurring meetings when you could go to the next month and see how the same exact day looked each month.

Hi @Jess Moore ，

According to my research, this feature has been replaced in the latest Office versions with the Scheduling Assistant - AutoPick. See: Use the Scheduling Assistant and Room Finder for meetings in Outlook

If you want to restore the Suggested Time Pane, you can try the following method:

1. Return to your previous version of Office. For specific steps, please refer to How to Return to an Earlier Version of Office.
2. Modify the registry key to enable reverting to the original Room Finder How to revert the Outlook Desktop WebView based Room Finder to the legacy Room Finder - Outlook (microsoft.com)

If none of these methods work, you might want to try using Outlook Online, as some users have reported seeing the Suggested Times pane there.
