How to easily share a file's location

Trying to let someone know where to find a file on the H drive? Instead of trying to remember the specific subfolder it was in, you can copy and paste the direct file path to lead someone straight to the file.

If you're in a shared drive, once you find the file you need, just look at the top navigation bar. This shows the exact path you took to get to this file.

Just click in this top navigation bar to select this file path. The file path will turn blue, and now you can copy and paste it into a message to someone.

Listing a meeting attendee as optional vs. required

When sending an Outlook calendar invite out, you can select who is required to attend vs. who is optional to attend. When you open a new meeting invite, first add attendees in the "To" field.

For any invite you can have a mixture of Required and Optional attendees, just change the icon for each person to the appropriate status.
