Thank you for your patience.<\/p>\n<p><b>[Introduction]<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<p>The people card experience in<b> Classic Outlook<\/b>&nbsp;is simplifying. As part of this update, the  <b>people card expanded view<\/b> in Classic Outlook will be retired.

This experience already exists in other Office applications and in some Outlook configurations today.<\/li>\n<li>Today, users can access the expanded view in Classic Outlook by right\u2011clicking an email recipient and selecting  <b>Open contact card<\/b>, or by double\u2011clicking an email recipient. After retirement, these same actions will display the standard contact card instead.<\/li>\n<li>The standard contact card does not include the following features that were available in the expanded view:<\/li>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<ul>  <\/p>\n<li>Local time<\/li>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<li>\u201cWorks with\u201d in the organization chart<\/li>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<li>Change picture entry point (accessible from Outlook by selecting File, then clicking the Change link under your photo)<\/li>\n<p>  <\/ul>\n<li>Users who rely on these features can use Outlook on the web or New Outlook, which provide a richer people card experience.<\/li>\n<li>The expanded view being retired was not customizable. Any customizations made to the standard contact card will remain after this change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>[What you can do to prepare:]<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<ul>  <\/p>\n<li><b>No admin action<\/b> is required; this change will occur automatically.<\/li>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<li>Notify users about the retirement of the people card expanded view in Classic Outlook.<\/li>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<li>Update internal documentation or helpdesk guidance, if applicable.<\/li>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<li>Encourage users who rely on features such as local time, works with, or changing profile pictures to use Outlook on the web or New Outlook.<\/li>\n<p>  <\/ul>\n<p>Admins and users who want to familiarize themselves with the standard contact card experience can test it in Office apps where this change already exists.
