  @mwschmitz Word processing is the big problem (for all of Linux). LibreOffice is a common choice, but a lot of people use Google Docs. You can use Office 365 via your browser. For PDFs, there are lots of open-source readers that are great. If you want to edit, it depends on your needs.

• Walter Bobrowski (@WalterBobrowski) reported

  Problem solved by deleting the unused and useless Microsoft Office 365 app. Honestly, imagine running a company like @Microsoft where your vast array of apps don't actually talk to each other.

• Francois Heinderyckx (@FHeinderyckx) reported

  @olivier_klein When I'm really desperate with a Word document, I open it with Apple's Pages, fix it, then export it back in Word format. Requires extreme caution given you're talking about a large and complex document. Consider also upgrading to Word from Office365.

  @Office 365. authenticator problems they cant fix after 16 days . hopeless . no customer care

• Joe Beernink (@JoeBeernink) reported

  @Office365 I created a new Office365 account with a new custom domain and email sent to it are failing. I can't sign in to it because the 2FA email request is going to the account itself. I can't get help online because I can't sign in to the account. How do I fix this?

• Mal_Will (@Mal_Wilkerson) reported

  Who at Microsoft decided that the two-page side-by-side view didn't need to exist in the Office 365 version of Word? I just want names. I swear I won't hunt them down and steal the knees out of their pants just to show them what it's like to have a good thing ruined.

• SUNY Paltz ITS (@NP_TechUpdates) reported

  We're seeing email delivery issues to Office 365. It appears to be impacting at least mail from Hawkmail and other Google mail, but some other sources are impacted as well. We've reported the issue to Microsoft and are waiting to hear back. More updates will be provided soon.

• Johnny Farrow (@Johnnyboythrash) reported

  So should the calendar on Outlook on @Office365 not show work hours anymore? Is this an error or am I now destined for people to try and book meetings with me whenever they want. Is this just wfh now?

  Uninstalling the Office 365 trial from my laptop inadvertantly nuked the libraries Firefox needed to run. It was a 20 minute fix, but a frustrating one.

• Emma Kennedy (@EmmaKEdDev) reported

  Anyone else's Office 365 apps just get stuck in a sign in loop where eg PowerPoint decides you're logged out but when you sign in, just keeps asking? No error message, just a constant loop. I've tried restarting three times & now given up.

• Tobias Wood (@spinicist) reported

  @dsquintana Working with LaTeX locally mostly defeats the point of Overleaf - but I do find the *** integration handy for uploading figures. The day Office 365 goes down I think there will be larger problems than working on my next paper!

• ߛߛMischa (@MrPapercut) reported

  @renebakx I think the Windows 10 Accounts browser plugin does that, right? I experience no issues with Office365 and Brave. But MSEdge is fine, it's my 'second' browser for testing and stuff. Also Edge has the better built-in game at edge://surf/

• Johnna ✨🧀 (@JohnnaCantWait) reported

  @caitycoyne Your account admin should be able to open admin portal > Exchange > Mail Flow > find the rule that creates a caution when criteria are met & disable it. One issue is this might disable it for your whole org (anyone on the same office 365), including ppl vulnerable to spoofing.

• SPCPartyPatrol (@SPCPartyPatrol) reported

  @rickzeleznik @Microsoft @Office365 yeah having 2 clients - web and desktop - to edit one file in the server might need some help. I've seen where people are checking out the file in sharepoint, making edits to XML (?), then saving it/uploading it back, and checking it in. Seems risky/unsupported, but a workaround.

• Rick Zeleznik (@rickzeleznik) reported

  @SPCPartyPatrol @Microsoft @Office365 No doubt on the client. But Project Online too you think? There's a flourishing 3rd party mpp server SaaS market, and the functionality of PWA seems like it hadn't been updated in forever. Update rumors?

• Victoria Thompson, M.S. 🥐🏳️‍🌈 (@VictoriaTheTech) reported

  @iamDrWill I'm a big Surface fan but I mostly use Office 365, so the new computer was more of just an upgrade for me. Windows Hello is a huge plus for me, though. I like being able to sign in by facial recognition.

• Jim Moss (@🏡) (@TheSmileCEO) reported

  My favourite part of this Rogers outage is that my office365 account requires an authenticator app that requires cell data. How about no? Maybe I could fax it to them? Morse Code?Maybe send a raven?

• strixus (@strixus) reported

  ... Has anyone else had a weird issue with office 365 showing meetings 30 min earlier than they actually are?

Note

This document describes the original JSON format for the actionable message card format. For actionable messages sent via email, this has been replaced with the Adaptive Card format. Microsoft recommends that new actionable message integrations use the Adaptive Card format, and existing integrations consider updating to Adaptive Card format. The Adaptive Card format is required to support Outlook on iOS and Android. However, if you are sending actionable messages via an Office connector, or to a Microsoft Teams connector, you must continue to use the message card format.

Cards are meant to provide easy to read, at-a-glance information that users can very quickly decipher and act upon when appropriate. As such, the guiding principle for designing great card is 'content over chrome,' which means cards are straight to the point and minimize the use of anything that would be distracting such as icons or custom colors.

Card playground

Ready to experiment with your card design? Head to the Card Playground which allows you to see what your card will look like as you edit the associated JSON payload.

Note

The Card Playground loads Adaptive Card examples by default. You can find message card format examples by selecting the Select a sample dropdown in the playground.

Design guidelines

Text formatting

All text fields in a card and its section can be formatted using Markdown. We support basic Markdown.

Important

Since all fields are processed as Markdown, be sure to escape Markdown special characters (such as * or #) if needed.

Tip

Follow these guidelines when formatting text fields.

• Do use Markdown to format text.
• Don't use HTML markup in your cards. HTML is ignored and treated as plain text.

Using sections

If your card represents a single 'entity', you may be able to get away with not using any section. That said, sections support the concept of an 'activity' which is often a good way to represent data in a card.

If your card represents multiple 'entities' or is, for instance, a digest for a particular news source, you will definitely want to use multiple sections, one per 'entity.'

Tip

Follow these guidelines when planning the layout of your card.

• Do use sections to logically group data together.
• Sometimes, multiple sections MAY be used to represent a single logical group of data; this allows for more flexibility on ordering the information presented in the card. For example, it makes it possible to display a list of facts before an activity.
• Don't include more than 10 sections. Cards are meant to be easy to read; if there is too much information in a card, it will be lost on the user.
• For digest-like cards, consider adding a 'View full digest' action at the end of the card.

Actions

Cards are very powerful in the sense that they allow users to take quick actions without leaving their email client. When designing cards, consider making them actionable, as that will increase user engagement and productivity.

Actions are specified using the potentialAction property which is available both on the card itself and on each section. There are five types of actions:

There can be a maximum of 4 actions (whatever their type) in a potentialAction collection.

• Do include actions that will make the biggest impact for the end user, like the most repetitive ones.
• Don't add 4 actions just because you can. In many cases, fewer actions will lead to a better experience.
• Don't craft your cards in an effort to replace an external application. Cards are meant to complement such applications, not to replace them.

OpenUri action

Opens a URI in a separate browser or app.

Although links can be achieved through Markdown, an OpenUri action has the advantage of allowing you to specify different URIs for different operating systems, which makes it possible to open the link in an app on mobile devices.

• Consider using an OpenUri action rather than a link in Markdown if there is a clear advantage for your users in their ability to open the link in an app on their mobile device.
• Do include at least an OpenUri action to view the entity in the external app it comes from.
• Do make the OpenUri action the last one in the potentialAction collection.

Note

Microsoft Teams and Outlook on the web only support HTTP/HTTPS URLs in the targets array for an OpenUri action.

HttpPOST action

Makes a call to an external Web service.

When an HttpPOST action is executed, a POST request is made to the URL in the target field, and the target service needs to authenticate the caller. This can be done in a variety of ways, including via a Limited Purpose Token embedded in the target URL. For more information and help on choosing the security mechanism that works best for your particular scenario, please see Security requirements for actionable messages.

Header

The Header object is a name/value pair that represents an HTTP header.

Reporting an action's execution success or failure

HttpPOST actions can include the CARD-ACTION-STATUS HTTP header in their response. This header is meant to contain text that indicates the outcome of the action's execution, whether it has succeeded or failed.

The value of the header will be displayed in a consistent way in a reserved area of the card. It is also saved with the card so it can be displayed later on, so users can be reminded of the actions that have already been executed on a given card.

Tip

Follow these guidelines when returning a response to HttpPOST actions.

• Do return the CARD-ACTION-STATUS header in your responses.
• Do make the message in that header as informative and meaningful as possible. For instance, for an 'approve' action on an expense report:
  • In case of success, don't return 'The action was successful', instead return 'The expense was approved'
  • In case of failure, don't return 'The action failed', instead return 'The expense couldn't be approved at this time. Please try again later'
• Don't mention either the name of the person taking the action nor the time the action is being taken in your CARD-ACTION-STATUS header. Both these pieces of information will be automatically added for you and displayed in a consistent way.

Refresh cards

Refresh cards are a very powerful mechanism that allow HttpPOST actions to fully update the card on the fly as the action successfully completes. There are many scenarios that benefit from refresh cards:

• Approval scenario (e.g. expense report)
  • Once the request is approved or rejected, the card is refreshed to remove the approve/decline actions and update its content so it reflects the fact that it's been approved or declined
• Task status
  • When an action is taken on a task, such as setting its due date, the card refreshes to include the updated due date in its facts
• Survey
  • Once the question has been answered, the card is refreshed so:
    • It no longer allows the user to respond
    • It shows updated status, like 'Thanks for responding to this survey' alongside the user's actual response
    • Potentially include a new OpenUri action that allows the user to consult the survey online

To refresh a card as a result of an HttpPOST action, a service needs to do the following:

• Include the JSON payload of the new card in the body of the response to the HTTP POST request it received.
• Add the CARD-UPDATE-IN-BODY: true HTTP header to the response, in order to let the receiving client know that it should parse the response body and extract a new card (this is to avoid unnecessary processing when no refresh card is included.)

Tip

Follow these guidelines when returning refresh cards.

• Do use refresh cards with actions that can only be taken a single time. In those cases, the refresh card would not include any action that cannot be taken anymore
• Do use refresh cards with actions that change the state of the entity they are performed on. In those cases, the refresh card should include updated information about the entity, and MAY change the set of actions that can be performed
• Don't use refresh cards to lead a conversation with the user. For instance, don't use refresh cards for a multi-step 'wizard'
• Do include at least an OpenUri action to view the entity in the external app it comes from.

ActionCard action

Presents additional UI that contains one or more Inputs, along with associated actions that can be either OpenUri or HttpPOST types.

Do use an ActionCard action if an action requires additional input from the user. Some scenarios:

• Responding to a survey
• Adding a comment to a bug
• Providing justification for declining an expense report

By default, an ActionCard action will be represented as a button or link in the card's UI. When clicked, that button will display an additional piece of UI containing the inputs and actions defined in the action card.

If there is a single ActionCard action in a potentialAction collection, then Outlook will represent that action 'pre-expanded,' e.g. its inputs and actions will be immediately visible.

Example ActionCard

Inputs

Three types of inputs are supported: TextInput, DateInput, and MultichoiceInput.

Common fields

The following fields are common to all input types.

TextInput

Use this input type when you need users to provide free text, such as the response to a survey question.

Example TextInput

DateInput

Use this input type when you need users to provide a date and or a time, such as for a task's due date.

Microsoft Office 365 Login

Example DateInput

MultichoiceInput

Use this input type when you need users to select from a list of pre-defined choices, such as a bug status, yes/no/maybe, etc.

Example compact MultichoiceInput

Example multi-select MultichoiceInput

Example expanded MultichoiceInput

Input value substitution

The value of an input can be referenced in any URL of a ViewAction or HttpPOST action. It can also be referenced in an HttpPOST action's body. When an input value is referenced, it is substituted with the actual value of the input right before the action is executed.

To reference an input's value, use the following format:

{{<id of input>.value}}

Input value substitution example

InvokeAddInCommand action

Opens an Outlook add-in task pane. If the add-in is not installed, the user is prompted to install the add-in with a single click.

When an InvokeAddInCommand action is executed, Outlook first checks if the requested add-in is installed and turned on for the user. If it is not, the user is notified that the action requires the add-in, and is able to install and enable the add-in with a single click. Outlook opens the requested , making any initialization context specified by the action available to the add-in.
