Okay, now we've added a few email addresses to our Outlook profile. Let's take a look around at how we navigate around the different elements of the application and some of the views that are available to us that might be super useful in our work. Okay, at the moment, I'm in the mail view and I can tell because on the bottom left hand side of the screen you can see this mail icon. To the right of that, we've got a calendar icon. If I click on that, it becomes the calendar view. Then I've got my contacts view. I've also got my task view as well. And if I click on these three dots and select navigation options you can see that there's also a notes, folders and shortcuts view also, okay? So you can change your view quite easily. If you wanna be able to see, those icons are too small and maybe you're using a tablet and you want to be able to use the touchscreen on the tablet then you can deselect compact navigation, press okay and that means you've got much bigger icons that you can use now that are in words rather than with pictures so it's maybe easier for you to navigate. I'm gonna go back to that mail view. Okay, so just above there we've got the folder pane. This is where all our emails appear. And on the right hand side we've got the reading pane. Now we can actually change this even more if we go to the view option in the view menu I should say, in the ribbon and look at layout, okay? So we can look at, we've got the folder pane, reading pane. I'm gonna look at this to-do bar and I want to add calendar, and I want to add people and tasks to the to-do.bar as well. So all of those appear on the right hand side. Now this is making the screen a bit more cluttered. In particular, it's made the reading pane look a little bit narrower, okay? With a few options with this, we can change where it goes. So instead of it being on the right of the emails we can put it on the bottom of each email. So that might make our life a little bit easier. Alternative that we can do is we can minimize the folder pane. So you can do that in two ways. You can either do it like this, by hitting minimize, and it sort of hides all the folders here on the left hand side. The issue with this is when you expand it again then it will obscure all your emails so that you then have to re-pin it to the task bar. Or you can do it using the folder pane menu as well. Whatever works for you basically. Anyway, this is the view within Outlook, okay? And it's kind of like your dashboard. This is like the control view. Most of the time you'll be working within your emails but it's good to know what's happening in a particular day. And certainly it's a good idea to see some of your tasks as well.
