Microsoft Outlook's new feature will stop you from accidentally sending embarrassing typos to your boss
Microsoft is introducing a new feature in Outlook that performs a spell check immediately before an email is sent. This functionality is designed to prevent users from accidentally sending messages containing embarrassing typos or errors. The update will roll out in phases, with a targeted release in October and a general availability in November or December.
- ▪Microsoft Outlook will prompt a pre-send spell check to catch awkward typos before emails are sent.
- ▪The feature blocks the sending process if it detects questionable spelling, allowing users to review and fix errors.
- ▪A targeted rollout of the feature is scheduled to begin in mid-October and conclude by the end of the month.
- ▪General availability for all users is expected between mid-November and early December.
- ▪The update was announced via a message in the Microsoft 365 Message Center titled MC1479509.
