  • Nice article!

    The blog states to expect more Editor enhancements. Can you share what MS is considering as additional features?

     

    For example, I use a third-party editor app. I receive a weekly report of corrections made and supporting articles to improve my writing skills. I also get a monthly stats ranking compared to others using the app. And, finally, I earn badges.

     

    These features are nice to include with your editor but ensure users can opt-in/out of receiving this level of details. 

     

    Again, great blog post.

    The editor is very raw and preliminary.

     

    It only checks for spelling. 

    Can't check grammar.

    Tanya_Keyser Can you provide a link to the documentation whereby Microsoft Editor is not available for Outlook Online in GCC tenants? We are experiencing the same issue and I would like to provide that information to our internal users.

  • I had Editor in Outlook online but no way of selecting only the languages I want. Now I can select the languages I want but it does not check anything.

    It does work in the Outlook app.
