Where is the New Outlook Switch?

It seems the Jan 11 release has removed the New Outlook Switch at all. Seriously? You guys know that the New Outlook is missing tons of features, right?

In the newest version, click on the Help menu and select Revert to Legacy Outlook.

"Help" does not have these options.

    I am in macOS Ventura 13.2.1 using Outlook 16.71

    Are you using an older version of Outlook?

      BarbarianCoderNot using MAC and generally use Outlook 365 (always current version). However when I want to forward an article to someone else a different Outlook (general) pops up. Tried switching to new version and it barely works. Wanted to switch back to the previous version and previous version link was not available. I was able to use the following to get rid of it:

       

      Note: As we will be closing the app, please copy the following to a Word or Notepad file for reference.

      - Close New Outlook.
      - Press the Windows key + R key together to get the Run window. Copy/paste the location below in the Run window > OK.

      %localappdata%\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Migration

      - Once the folder opens, please look for a file named 'Settings', and then delete it.
      - Now, please try re-opening the Outlook app and let us know the results.

       

      New version of Outlook is sorely inadequate and only partially functional.
