My Templates in New Outlook and Web Explained
Wow, this is a great workaround. I will pass this on to others and give your feedback to Microsoft.
The power of sharing. Thanks.

Hi Teresa_Cyrus ,
We never used the templates with the old Outlook; we customised our own in Word with social media links and an image at the bottom (which would change with the seasons) and pasted this in the signature editor without fail; it worked as a charm for all accounts.
However, with the new Outlook, we wasted a day trying to figure out how to get the mail accounts working, trying to transfer the signatures. No result, and frustrated with hardly any information available, we went back to the old format using the signature editor again.
The video pasted in the thread explains how to access Outlook templates in the new Outlook. What about templates made in the signature editor? So far, they do not transfer or sync in New Outlook.
Cheers,

The New Outlook Email Signature template experience is different from Outlook Classic. I also double-checked. None of my New Outlook signatures were available in Classic and vice-versa.
I would download a signature template and edit it in Word. Once completed, I would copy and paste it into New Outlook. I still had to copy and paste non-text objects manually into the signature. Here is a timestamped video about these discoveries. Video: https://youtu.be/WNPZ4oJZDf8?t=521

#traccreations4e 9/14/2024Teresa_Cyrus I would have done this if it was only 1 e-mail signature, but clicking all the links separately for every email account is the reason I went back to old Outlook.
Look forward to the upcoming video with a fix for email signatures.Cheers,

Yes, I will create a video once Microsoft pushes a fix. In the meantime, please give Microsoft the feedback. Your voice matters.
