Mac widget (Big Sur) disappears after new update of Outlook
I'm using Outlook for Mac (the New Outlook). Every time there is a version update, the Outlook widget disappears and I have to set it up again. Does this happen to anybody else?
I discovered a way to make the Outlook Calendar widget show up in the Notification Center Widget Gallery. Essentially I downloaded/installed the Outlook app from the App Store. This triggered the widget to show up in the Widget Gallery.
Notes: As a precaution I first duplicated the Outlook app (naming it Outlook copy), then after downloading Outlook from the App Store and checking that the widget showed up, I deleted the Outlook app and renamed the copy back to its original name. I recommend doing this since I don't know if the App Store version of Outlook is different; also, the App Store version was tied to my Apple ID and I did not want that to cause some future issue.
I performed this successful test under macOS Sonoma 14.2.1.
