Pros
Covers the absolute basics of the new Outlook interface.
Quick to click through.
Up-to-date screenshots.
Cons
No interactive elements or sandbox environment.
Extremely basic content, equivalent to a product's help page.
Knowledge check questions are trivial.
Reading the unit on how to pin a message took longer than actually doing it. This whole thing is just a series of static pages with screenshots explaining features like Focused Inbox and color categories. There's no sandbox, no practice, not even a fake inbox to click around in. It's the software equivalent of a museum where all the exhibits are just pictures of the real thing.
I was hoping for maybe some power-user tips or clever rule combinations, but it just explains what the search bar does. The content is stuff you'd figure out in the first ten minutes of using the new Outlook anyway. It feels designed to bulk up a learning path rather than teach a tangible skill. I guess it's a decent reference if you need to explain Outlook to your grandma.
