What's new

The new version of Outlook Calendars for Confluence comes with a new UI and new features.

Why relaunching the existing OCC app?

For the past months, we realized that our current Outlook Calendars for Confluence app really isn’t an app that complies with our (development) standards. Sure, our app fulfills a market need and even its “old version” offers useful and advanced features other apps don’t. However, there is more to a product than its features. We strive to provide an app that makes calendaring more fun and particularly, more intuitive.

We at yasoon attach great importance to our users' feedback and always take it seriously. So, it was just time to start rethinking our app - to make it more user-friendly, provide more guidance within our product, make it more intuitive and especially even more applicable in our everyday working lives. Check out our use cases.

The new UI now enables the user to easily navigate through our product, quickly take action and insert the right calendar with most suitable default settings. We want to avoid situations of inserting and deleting calendars again and again, because a calendar template is simply not clear for the user in the first place. Discover our features.

We further developed our existing features and also developed new ones. Unfortunately, not all features are currently available. Check out our page here to learn more about the current status.

Features which are not yet available

We’re pretty happy with the current release and overall development of Outlook Calendars for Confluence, though not all of our features made the cut just yet. Based on our own usage behavior, our user feedback and most of all, based on the fact to better focus on the above mentioned (more advanced) features, we needed to postpone some of our features for our next release!

📢 For our existing Cloud customers:

• You can still use the existing macro with our Outlook Calendars for Confluence cloud app

• Soon, you’ll be able to additionally use the new cloud app version (new UI, new features)

• An upgrade guide will soon be available for you!

It’s our highest priority to ship everyone to the new version safely and conveniently. We’re here for you and happy to give you a helping hand whenever needed.

What is different (currently!)

This is a brief overview about our features which are not yet available in the new cloud version:

Your feedback makes a difference!

As you might already know, our customers' feedback strongly influences our roadmap and decision-making process when it comes to the development of new features. This is why we’d love to hear your feedback on the following features.

How intensively are you:

• 📂 using our app translation?
  Our existing (old) app version is available for German and French, but translatable in any other language, if needed. The new app release, however, will only be available in English. Would that influence the way you work with our app?

• 📬 using shared mailboxes?
  Our existing (cloud) app version offers shared mailboxes in your Confluence calendars. Our new app release don’t (yet). How about your usage behavior concerning shared mailboxes? Are you already (mainly) working with the “new” group calendars function?
