Keep Notes Section In Calendar Event
When making a calendar event in the current Outlook.com there is a section to add notes. This is missing in the Beta Calendar. Notes are visible in the Beta from entries made in the current Outlook.com Calendar but you are unable to edit them. I use the notes section to remind me of details about calendar events. The loss of this option would force me to use a different Calendar app/service.

Thank you for your feedback! The deployment for notes in a calendar event in the Outlook.com beta is now complete. If you refresh, you should be able to see the experience.

This is mind-boggling that this feature was removed. It makes the calendar almost useless. Between that and the fact that I rarely get my alerts, I'm not sure how much longer I can stick around. As a former MSFT employee, I know releases can get bogged down and features can get postponed for dumb reasons, but this one is really painful.

the beta calendar is missing the area for notes - I keep going back to original calendar format to add notes. Please add a notes section to the beta calendar

The Notes feature is an absolute must. So is the ability to set up repeat events at intervals other than just daily, weekly, monthly etc, for example every x number of days or weeks. Amazingly, these features were in earlier MS calendars, even in the old Works Works Calendar, which was a treat to use. The new Beta is a joke, and I'll bet MS employees themselves will not touch it with a barge pole!!

It is complete raw-alfa-release ****. With absolutely no usability.

The old version let you open it up fully and add notes, I just get the actual appointment now and no function to add notes

I can't believe this feature is missing. The calendar is now completely useless.

I've long stopped trying the beta and hope Microsoft just keeps the old version of Calendar, it is much better in all respects. I don't think they were ever serious about it being an 'improvement'.

What about the state of developement?
How long it will take to get this "feature" usable?
It's a shame that it take so long... -

I mysteriously ended up in the Outlook Calendar beta, and when I could not find the toggle to enter notes, I almost smashed my monitor. Fortunately for all, I realized that swapping away from the beta returned all the notes THAT I HAVE BEEN ADDING AND REQUIRING FOR DAILY USE SINCE I STARTED USING THE CALENDAR FEATURE. Dear Microsoft UI Staff - do you even use the products you design? How did you ever pass the 50-questions HR interview?

Your comment "Outlook Calendar Team (Admin, Outlook.com)" was from Feb this year (2018). That was over 4 months ago. When will this be implemented?
I was going to move from google to outlook but not without this.

it is insane that this is not already there. how long til it is there, I will have to move to google if it is not there soon. I would use outlook except that it does not work any more. keeps blowing up. you guys are not winning any games here.
I've been using Microsoft products since the 80's please get your act together.

Another vote for needing this ASAP. I was in the process of moving all my services over to Microsoft, but was alarmed when I saw Calendar didn't have event notes. I know I can leave the beta and use them, but the whole reason for moving my stuff over was because of how much I like the new layout of Outlook.com.

Calendar Events - the old version allowed comments to be added, however the new one disables the ability the add comments or notes to the event.

the new beta calendar does not have a 'notes' area. That was very useful under the older calendar, please add a 'notes' area to calendar events.

I am using Outlook.com beta version. When I create a new event in my Calendar, I find I am not able to add some notes, a contact person or a link. These are some basic functions. Please add these functions. Thanks.
