It’s the places and faces we remember and today we’re making it easier than ever to visualize and contextualize people and teams across your company with a new addition to Outlook. 

 

This new application available to Office Insiders allows you to find, discover, and explore people and relationships through a delightful organizational browser experience.

What’s Next

We’ll continue to evolve this experience over the next few months with some exciting new changes and features.

 

Availability

We typically release features over some time to ensure that things are working smoothly. This is true for Insiders as well. We highlight features that you may not have because they’re slowly releasing to larger numbers of Insiders. Similarly, sometimes we remove elements to improve them. Though rare, we also reserve the option to pull a feature entirely out of the product.

    This is an interesting feature. when I try to load it the Outlook graphic pops up but it fails to load the hierarchy.

    Does it have to be turned on by an administrator?

    Same question as Paul_67. When I open Org Explorer I see the three dots across the screen briefly, but then nothing loads. We are in the GCC, wondering if that has something to do with it or if there's something else I'm missing.

    We loved this in the Insider ring for Office, it was so popular we had a number of people asking to be included in the preview builds so they could use it... then it seems to have disappeared.

     

    Any idea when this will formally see the light of day?
