Outlook Web: Ability to Hide Favorites From Folder List

The Hide Favorites feature in Outlook for the web is a new feature that allows users to personalize their folder pane by hiding the Favorites section. With this feature, users can choose to hide the Favorites experience if they do not use or want to see them. This feature is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 167071 and will begin rolling out in late October 2023. The rollout is expected to be complete by late November 2023.

By default, Favorites will be visible, but users will have the option to update their settings and hide them whenever they choose. Once hidden, users can still unhide their Favorites at any time. This feature is designed to give users more control over their Outlook experience and make it easier to navigate through their emails.

If you use Outlook for the web, you can look forward to this new feature. As an organization, you do not need to prepare anything at this time. You may want to notify your users of this upcoming update. You can find more information about this feature in the post Outlook Web: Ability to Hide Favorites From Folder List on the M365 Admin website.
