How To Create An Email Signature In Outlook Microsoft Office 365

Having an email signature is a convenient way to include all of your contact information inside of an email without having to type out the information each and every time you compose a new message. In Microsoft Outlook, you can add an email signature and also specify whether or not you want to include the signature in replies to the same email chain, which makes it easy to only share your signature once, and live it out in future emails within the same email chain.

Note: This guide is meant for the online version of Outlook inside Microsoft Office 365, your desktop version may have different menus than the ones shown in the example below.
