Make room to see your email add-ins
Add-ins (not add-ons) are third-party tools you can add to Office programs to make them carry out tasks they can’t do by default. To browse for one in Outlook.com, for example, start a new email, click the three dots at the bottom – to the right of the Discard (bin) icon – then click ‘Get Add-ins’ at the bottom.
Once you add one, you should see its icon at the bottom, next to the Discard icon. If you don’t see it, you may have too many other built-in functions there (such as attaching a file or formatting a message), not leaving enough space for the add-in.
To fix this, click the Settings cog at the top right then click ‘View all Outlook settings’. Now click ‘Customise actions’ on the left, then scroll down to the Toolbar section. We have selected six
options that appear to the left of the
Evernote add-in (represented by the green elephant icon – see 1 in our screenshot below left). The ticks below indicate which options you’ve selected 2. Every built-in option you add takes priority, so it appears to the left of the add-in, shuffling it further to the right until it drops off.
The solution is to untick any options you don’t need. As you do this, you’ll see your add-in move to the left. Click ‘Save’ when you’ve finished doing this, then go back to your email and you should see your add-in next to Discard. time click Animation Pane in the Advanced Animation section ( 1 in our screenshot above). Select an animation in the pane that appears at the right, then click the up and down arrows 2 as needed.
