Microsoft Outlook: Drag and drop calendar events to reschedule meetings

Microsoft Outlook will support drag-and-drop rescheduling of calendar events in day and multi-day views starting late August 2026. Users can move only their own events directly on the calendar without admin setup. No action is required, but notifying users and updating training is recommended.
