How do I change the view of attachments in Outlook?

Outlook is a powerful email client that allows users to manage their emails, calendars, and contacts efficiently. One of the key features of Outlook is the ability to handle attachments, which are files that are attached to your emails. The view of attachments in Outlook can be customized to suit your preferences and needs. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to change the view of attachments in Outlook.

1. Open Outlook and navigate to the folder where you want to change the view of attachments. This could be your inbox, a specific folder, or a shared folder.

2. Once you are in the desired folder, click on the “View” tab at the top of the Outlook window.

3. In the “View” tab, you will find a group of options called “Layout.” Click on the “Layout” dropdown menu.

4. From the dropdown menu, select “Change View.” This will open a new window with various view options.

5. In the “Change View” window, you will see a list of available views. To change the view of attachments, you need to select a view that includes the “Attachments” column. By default, the “Preview” view includes the “Attachments” column.

6. Click on the “Preview” view to select it. You will notice that the view of attachments in your folder will now display the “Attachments” column, which shows whether an email has an attachment or not.

7. If you want to further customize the view, you can click on the “Arrange By” dropdown menu in the “View” tab. Here, you can choose to sort your emails by date, subject, sender, or other criteria. You can also choose to group your emails by conversations or by date.

8. Additionally, you can use the “Show/Hide” button in the “View” tab to toggle the visibility of certain columns, such as the “Attachments” column. This can be useful if you want to temporarily hide the attachments column and then show it again.

9. If you want to save your custom view for future use, you can click on the “Save View” button in the “View” tab. Give your custom view a name and click “OK.” This will save your view, and you can easily switch back to it by selecting it from the “Change View” window.

By following these steps, you can easily change the view of attachments in Outlook to suit your preferences. Whether you want to see a list of emails with attachments or a detailed preview of each attachment, Outlook provides the flexibility to customize your view.
