Features and improvementsIntegrations
- [Add-in] Embedded email attachments (.msg and .eml) now appear in the pane as “cannot be cleaned” and follow your organisation’s unsupported-file policy, instead of being hidden
- [Add-in] Duplicate attachments are flagged in the pane with a one-click Delete duplicate action; sending is blocked until the duplicate is removed
- [Add-in] Stronger pre-send verification: the add-in validates cleaned attachment content directly and confirms the attachment list matches the pane, instead of relying on Outlook reporting alone
- [Add-in] Numerous stability improvements for attachment handling across New Outlook and Outlook Classic
- [Add-in] Attaching many files at once is faster
- [Add-in] A latest release channel is now available in the Draftable Office Deployment Guide. Pin your manifest to a specific release (for example, 1.11) to stay on a fixed version, or subscribe to the latest channel for a major version to automatically receive the newest updates within that release line
