2. We removed the email address for assistance in the FAQ. 

 

Project Moca is now available for public preview for commercial customers! To enable it, admins can run a PowerShell command as shown below.

 

The way you work is complex and the streams of information keep increasing, constantly demanding your attention. Your projects, your team’s projects, and the information you need to do your work are stored across multiple applications, forcing you to constantly switch between them and then re-focus and regain context. That constant switching and the inevitable distractions add up quickly – and your productivity plummets.

 

Keeping things organized is one step to being productive. Having everything in one place will save you time and being able to quickly find what you need will make you more effective. Imagine a dresser, with unlimited drawers, and each drawer with unlimited organizers in them.

 

To help you achieve that, we are introducing the preview of Project Moca in Outlook on the web. With Project Moca, you can simplify your workflow so you can focus on what matters. Add tasks, goals, notes, files from OneDrive and other cloud storage providers, links, contacts, and even emails and events, all into one dynamic space. Each space has a flexible canvas so you can customize and view your content your way.

Find Project Moca in the module switcher in Outlook on the web. If you can’t see it, click on the overflow “…” menu.
