With Office 365, you have easy access to your email and calendar wherever
you are—on your computer, tablet, or phone. To view your email or calendar
on your computer, you can use Outlook or Outlook Web App. To view your
email or calendar on your phone or tablet, you can use Outlook Web App or
a compatible app that’s on your device (such as an email and calendar app).
• Outlook is an application that you install on your computer.
• Outlook Web App is the browser-based version of Outlook that you can
access over the internet, on just about any device.
For more information, see Compare Outlook and Outlook Web App.
In this training deck, we focus mostly on things you can do in Outlook Web
App. However, we also provide links to information about Outlook.

One way to put Office 365 to work for you is by adding an automatic signature to your
email. This is useful when you don’t want to type your contact information at the end of
every message. It also helps maintain consistency across the messages you send.

When you first sign into Office 365, it might look like you have no contacts at all. You do
have access to people in your organization even if you’re not sure where they are at first.
A good place to start is by finding people in your organization, then you can add them
to your contacts list. You can also add external people as contacts.

33.

• Add and use contacts
• Find a contact

34.
Use your calendar to stay organized by having your meetings and appointments in one
place, available across all your devices. In just a few clicks (or taps), you can set up a
meeting with someone or an appointment for yourself, and get reminders ahead of time
so you don't miss anything.

With Office 365 you can share your calendar with anyone inside or outside your
organization. When you share your calendar with someone inside your organization,
they will be able to add it directly to their calendar view in Outlook or Outlook Web App.
People outside your organization will be sent a URL that they can use to view your
calendar.
Note that Calendar sharing may not be available for your account, or may be limited to
people in your organization.

When you store your files in OneDrive for Business, you can share with others from any
device by going to your Office 365 site. Or you can share right from Office without even
going to Office 365 in a separate window. Whichever way you share Office files, you can
work with others at the same time they work and see changes as people make them.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
• Share a file with everyone from a site
• Share a file with individuals from a site
• Share a file from an Office desktop

When you store and share your files in OneDrive for Business, you can work with others
at the same and avoid reconciling multiple versions of your files. Work together from
either the online or the desktop versions of Word, PowerPoint, or OneNote. For
workbooks, use Excel Online. If someone opens the workbook in the Excel desktop
application, the workbook can’t be edited in Excel Online until it’s closed again in
desktop Excel.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
• Work with others at the same time

Your Lync contacts are the people you communicate with most frequently. You can add
anyone from your company to your contact list, and if your organization allows it, you
can also add external contacts:
• External Lync users - Admins in both your and the other person’s company must
allow external communications.
• Skype users - Must be signed in to Skype with a Microsoft account (formerly Windows
Live ID), such as someone@outlook.com.

Lync is great for keeping you current of everyone's availability. Presence information
includes your contacts' availability status, such as Available, Busy, or Away, and a
presence indicator that is color-coded, such as green, yellow, or red.
Lync IM is an efficient way to connect with your contacts in real time and on a moment’s
notice. Less formal than email and faster than a phone call , IM is tough to beat for
speed and ease of use.

You usually need to take notes in a meeting, whether it’s about tracking attendees,
documenting the discussion, or listing action items. Lync lets you take private notes or

receive a notification in the meeting about the notebook.
 Participants can then open the notes on their local computer
and contribute information if they have permission on the
notebook.
