Microsoft[New!] Drag and drop conversations into groups
Good news! We're currently rolling out drag and drop for messages and conversations into groups in Outlook on the web first for First Release customers, then Standard release customers.
It's much easier to explain with a GIF:
Support for Outlook 2016 for Windows is coming soon--stay tuned.

Took you long enough... :)
Will the right-click move/copy functionality also work, or is it strictly drag&drop? Multiple items/threads? Does everything get dumped into the Inbox/Conversations folder of the Group, or can we drop Calendar items to the Calendar? The documentation is very poor on the details... :)

At this point, it's strictly drag and drop.

You can drag and drop one thread at a time, or up to 100 individual messages at a time.

Yes. While you can drag-and-drop meeting invites, it will not be added to the group calendar.
Ethan,
You stated that it is possible to drag and drop up to 100 individual messages at a time. Recently, it appears that this functionality has been removed as we can only now drag one at a time. Any insights?
Nice update, it will make working with groups even easier, thanks for sharing.
