More than 3.5 million companies worldwide use Microsoft 365 to speed up business processes and boost productivity. And according to a recent report, LinkedIn revenue increased by 27% thanks to Office 365 marketing solutions. The productivity software helps you work smarter and keeps your productivity at its peak. Here are five ways to get the most out of Microsoft 365.
-
Leverage Focused Inbox
Microsoft’s Focused Inbox sorts your emails into two categories—Focused and Other. Important emails that require immediate action go to the “Focused” section, while less important emails like newsletters go to the “Other” tab. Emails are categorized based on their importance.
The software sorts your emails by analyzing the people and businesses you interact with regularly and the nature of the discussions. It saves you a lot of time you’d spend sifting through emails, letting you manage your workload more efficiently.

Plan Meetings with Scheduling Assistant
Scheduling Assistant helps you plan meetings better based on everyone’s availability. The feature is built into the calendar to make the software more efficient. To use Scheduling Assistant, create an event on the calendar and add those you want to attend the meeting.
The Scheduling Assistant has a time selector that allows you to drag and drop the time on the calendar until it turns green. Green indicates everyone is available, while red indicates unavailability. All dates should be white before you drag and drop your preferred time.

Collaborate with Your Team
Microsoft Teams allows teams to work together on the same project in real time. It eliminates the tedious back-and-forth sharing of files that usually happens via email. The feature offers unlimited group meetings with up to 300 participants per meeting.
Real-time collaboration ensures all team members work on the most current project version and reduces the risk of errors and duplication. Users enjoy up to 10GB of cloud storage and unlimited chats, even on the free version. They can offer virtual team training sessions and even host interactive webinars with over 1000 attendees.

Stay Organized with OneNote
OneNote is a productivity app and a digital notebook. The note-taking app lets you keep your notes, plans, research, and anything you want to remember without running out of paper.
You can organize your to-do list based on priorities such as work meetings and doctor’s appointments. The app may send you email notifications about recent notebook activity to communicate any changes and additions that people make to your shared notebooks.
Apple is a good alternative to Microsoft for those who prefer a different operating system or want to use Apple-specific applications. Additionally, users can buy Apple refurbished devices when Microsoft is not a suitable option. Refurbished devices like iPhones, iPads, and Macs go through rigorous testing, cleaning, and repackaging to ensure that they meet the same standards as new devices. These devices are a great option for those who want to save money while still enjoying the benefits of using Apple products. Refurbished devices from trusted sources come with a warranty, giving you peace of mind that you are getting a quality product.
