"Save and Close" missing from Calendar Event entry window - Office 2016/365 Win
Version 1811 (Build 11029.20079 Click-to-Run) Monthly Channel.
Where do I open support case? I find it difficult to locate appropriate pages on Microsoft. Thanks!
I'm missing Save & Close in Outlook 2016 Version 1905 Build 1162920196 Click-to-Run.
VERY FRUSTRATING.
PLEASE FIX!

I updated to Build 11629.20214 Click-to-Run, using the "Update Options" button in Outlook.
The Save&Close came back for me.
I then updated to Build 11629.20246 Click-to-Run, and the button is still there.

Ralphw Yes it looks like the Save & Close reappeared recently where it's supposed to be. Yay, all is well with the world now. :)

Same issue here. Discovered this omission earlier today. Can't believe MS could allow this removal to occur if they're testing their new builds before releasing to its customer base.
I was able to add "Save and Close" to the Quick Command toolbar. I guess this would be a band-aid until MS restores necessary functionality to the standard Ribbon commands.

#1 Open a new Calendar Appointment/Event window, Right Click on the Ribbon and choose "Customize the Ribbon". (( Make sure you have the NEW APPOINTMENT / EVENT window open, this will not work on the initial Calendar screen))
#2 On the right side of this next screen, click on APPOINTMENT and at the bottom select NEW GROUP.
#3 Rename the NEW GROUP to (SAVENCLOSE).
#4 Then highlight the new group name and use the arrows on the right to move it to the top of the menu.
#5 Make sure the new group name is highlighted first, then on the middle column under CHOOSE COMMAND FROM: use the drop down and SELECT ALL COMMANDS.
#6 Scroll down until you see SAVE & CLOSE, highlight and click ADD in the middle of the window.
#7 This will add the SAVE & CLOSE to the new group SAVENCLOSE.
Once this is complete, click OK at the bottom and it will be restored.
We had a large customer experience this yesterday and this is how we resolved it. It was due to a recent Windows/Office update. Hope this helps everyone.

That worked, thanks. I'd suggest using a name other than "SAVENCLOSE", because the name ends up on the Ribbon. Also, you'll need to follow these steps for other Outlook types if the Save & Close is missing (e.g., email).
