MC698126: “Open Microsoft 365” button in Outlook Preview

Currently, there is there no support available for iOS users looking to edit PDF files on the previewer in Outlook mobile. Microsoft is rolling out a new “Open Microsoft 365” button that helps users open/edit PDF files received on Outlook through the Microsoft 365 for mobile app.

Microsoft 365 Product Updates

When this will happen

Standard Release: Microsoft will begin rolling out mid-December 2023 and expect to complete by early January 2024.

How this will affect your organization

Users on iOS mobile will now be able to edit PDF files through their previewer in Outlook. The user can view a new “Open Microsoft 365” button (similar to that available for WXP files). On selecting the button, Microsoft 365 opens if the app is installed on the device. The user is redirected to the Microsoft 365 Appstore page if the app has not been installed on the device.

What you need to do to prepare

You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate to build awareness about Microsoft 365 capabilities for mobile.
