Hi, Readers.
The preview environment for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 release wave 1 (BC20) is available. Learn more: Link
I will continue to test and share some new features that I hope will be helpful.
Outlook add-in popout window enhancements:
Business value:
Business users who work in Outlook can take advantage of the Business Central add-in that surfaces insights directly in the workflow. While contact insights sit neatly in a slim pane alongside email, acting upon insights, such as creating a sales quote or adjusting a purchase invoice from within Outlook, often needs more workspace. The Outlook add-in now provides a richer experience when opening a record in its own window.

In the previous two weeks, we had discussed the new feature of Outlook add-in in Business Central 2022 release wave 1 (BC20), Add email attachments to Business Central records in Outlook (Outlook add-in).
Today, I would like to share another new feature about Outlook add-in, popout window enhancements.
Most pages displayed in the Outlook add-in include an action to open the page in a new window that can be resized or docked alongside Outlook.

The window now displays Business Central’s signature user experience, similar to the Web client, and includes full capabilities that desktop users enjoy today, such as:
- Access to reports, wizard pages, and the FactBox pane.

- A more flexible and accessible experience that adapts to the available space, whether you dock the window alongside Outlook or resize to full screen.

2. The Tell Me window cannot be opened with shortcut key Alt + Q inside the add-in. And the same is true for Page inspection pane (Ctrl+Alt+F1).
3. When you open a page with unfinished tasks, such as a wizard Page, the following message will appear when you return to Outlook Add-in.
