Summary

Updated Outlook extension documentation from legacy to preview version, added security guidelines, data privacy details, usage policies, and sample prompts

Security assessment

The changes add significant security documentation including: data handling clarifications (no data sent without explicit prompts), privacy assurances (no data used for training), security warnings about potential sensitive data exposure in AI responses, and compliance references. However, there's no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability.

-This is the legacy version of the Microsoft Outlook extension. We recommend using the new [Amazon Quick Microsoft Outlook extension (Preview)](./outlook-extension-preview-guide.html) for new deployments.
+This extension is currently available as a preview. During the preview period, the extension is fully functional for end users and production workloads. Administrative features such as centralized deployment controls and usage monitoring are being developed and will be available when the extension becomes generally available. Functionality and features may change during the preview period. We recommend using this extension instead of the legacy Microsoft Outlook extension for new deployments.

+The Amazon Quick extension for Outlook helps you manage your entire inbox using natural language. You can summarize unread messages, organize your inbox, schedule meetings, and draft responses, all without leaving Outlook.
+
+You can search for Amazon Quick in the Microsoft Outlook app store or visit the [Quick for Outlook Microsoft store page](https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/WA200010695) to add the extension.
+
+Key capabilities include:
+
+  * **Inbox management:** Summarize and prioritize your unread emails, search for specific emails or discussions using natural language queries, and organize your inbox by moving emails to folders, flagging messages for follow-up, and more.
+
+  * **Calendar and meeting management:** Summarize your calendar, find optimal meeting times with coworkers, and schedule meetings using natural language instructions.
+
+  * **Email summaries and replies:** Open the Quick side panel to ask questions about an email thread in focus or generate a contextual reply.
+
+  * **Enterprise knowledge integration:** Use Quick's knowledge sources to draft contextual responses to emails or to perform inbox and calendar tasks.
+
+  * **External actions:** Perform actions in third-party applications using your configured [action connectors](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksuite/latest/userguide/action-connectors.html) or apps directly from Outlook.
+
+
+
+
+###### Important
+
+  * The Amazon Quick Outlook extension uses generative AI to create and execute code within your Outlook application sandbox. AI can make mistakes and perform inaccurate actions within your Outlook mailbox. No email or content is read when the side panel is closed, and no data is sent to Amazon Quick unless you explicitly send a prompt.
+
+  * Amazon Quick does not use your user data for service improvement or for training its underlying large language models (LLMs).

-Before you deploy a Microsoft Outlook extension as an author, your Amazon Quick admin must [configure extension access to Microsoft Outlook](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksuite/latest/userguide/outlook-extension.html).
+Some features, such as inbox prioritization, calendar management, and email organization, require Microsoft Graph API permissions that must be granted by your administrator. If you are unable to perform these tasks, contact your administrator to ensure the required Graph API permissions have been approved for your organization. For more information, see [Microsoft Outlook extension permissions](./outlook-extension.html#outlook-permissions) in the admin guide.
