Ribbon on Outlook website

Hello, I predominantly use Outlook through the website on Chrome. 

 

A recent update changed the way the ribbon operates. I like the slim profile of the 'simplified ribbon,' but essential features have been removed from the simplified ribbon (like being able to report an email as junk or phishing) without a lot of extra clicks. In order to keep those on the ribbon, I have to use the classic ribbon, which takes up a LOT of extra space on the screen. Is there an option to customize the simplified ribbon on the website? It seems ridiculous that such an important feature - the ability to report junk - is being buried!

Thank you!

    Hi - I actually figured out the solution for this one! If you click the three dots on the simplified bar and scroll ALL the way down to the bottom, there is a 'customize' option where you can put features back on the bar. I think it's beyond ridiculous that they would remove such important features in the first place, but at least there's a fix for it. Sigh.

    I agree with you 100% it makes me very angry that they removed that important feature from the simplified ribbon!!!! That feature is the most used one. Who thought it wasn't frequently used has made a HUGE mistake! I hope the developers are reading this and realise the mistake they have made. I am so angry!!! As it puts extra pressure on me and I hate the classic ribbon as it has too much on it. This is why we use simplified ribbon with the right to choose any action not limited actions!!! To developers, you better be reading this!

        Yes but that no longer works either! There is no "Move to" feature to tick anymore :(
