Enabling the "Report Message" Add-in for Outlook

This article guides users on how to enable the "Report Message" add-in in both the Outlook Web App (OWA) and the Outlook Desktop Application. This feature helps to report suspicious emails to APU's Security Operations Centre. Please note, the Microsoft365 administrator might need to install and assign this add-in to users.
