Shared Contacts in New Outlook - not possible/functional

Hi,

Does anyone have any additional information about the status on the ability to share contacts in the New Outlook?

We have shared corporate contacts in a Public Folder and are unable to access them (I opened a support ticket and this is apparently by design...for now) so my only option is the old Outlook or Outlook for the web.

As an alternative we looked into setting up a generic account, housing the contacts there and sharing them but this also doesn't function.  

The web version is not a viable alternative and the Old Outlook is getting so glitchy and has a fraction of the CoPilot functionality.
