the beta calendar
The beta Outlook Calendar does not allow me to schedule in another person's calendar that I normally have access to. I have to get out of the beta just to do this. The beta does not have as many options or is as user friendly as the original. So far, not a fan!

calendar
Can I save an ics attachment directly to my calendar? It only gives me the option of downloading or saving in oneDrive. If I save it in One Drive it doesn't appear in my calendar.

Could not change dates on recurring items in the beta for Calendar.
I was unable to change dates on repeating scheduled events in my calendar without logging out of the beta and back into my old calendar.
For example, I retired recently and wanted to update and change dates in my calendar I had set to remind me about paying bills. My check comes on the 21st of the month and I wanted to schedule any payments I needed to make prior to the 21st to occur on a date after the 21st (for cash flow purposes).
Couldn't change the repeating date the way I wanted in the beta without going back…

CALENDAR NOTICES SHOW REYKJAVIK
PROBLEM BEFORE BETA VERSION: I share my calendar with my wife; we both have Microsoft web email/calendar accounts; when I receive notification from Microsoft that she has entered a calendar item, the notice gives the time of the item for the cities of Reykjavik and Monrovia (Iceland and Liberia), not Central Daylight Time here in Kirksville, Missouri 63501. Three Microsoft Support folks tried to solve the problem but were unable to do so; the last one was Jason D. on April 13, 2017. Ultimately he determined the problem was on Microsoft's end, not mine, but that the update to the…

Summary page/Highlight order/delivery details
Outlook had a feature where it would pull out key information like delivery dates, package details etc (much like the flight details previously mentioned) This feature was great for quickly what you had going on and include them into the calendar automatically.
Also, perhaps create a summary page that pulls out all details like these on to a single visual page, alongside and due tasks and events for the next 7 days.
