[What and why]

We have restored the Send Availability feature to the Microsoft Outlook mobile app experience. When composing a reply to an email, users can tap the calendar icon and select Send Availability, which allows them to see their availability and easily list time slots for their recipients. iOS users also have access to this feature through the on-screen keyboard and VoiceOver. This change makes it easier for mobile users to schedule meetings with others.
