Work 101: How to Update Your Email Signature

When you send an email, your email signature makes an impression. 

Keep your email signature on-brand and put your best foot forward in all your correspondence. 

Updating Your Email Signature in the Web Version of Outlook

To set or change your signature, on the web version of Outlook, first log in to Outlook. Once you are logged in, on the top right, there will be a gear icon next to your picture or initials.

Once you click on the gear, the “Settings” menu will pop up. Scroll to the bottom and select “View all Outlook settings,” at the very bottom of the menu.

This will take you to a pop-up window with a variety of options. Click on “mail,” then “compose and reply.” Inside of that tab will be the settings for composing your e-mail signature. Make sure to select the boxes to automatically include your e-mail signature on posts.

From there, format your signature to include your name, e-mail, phone number, position and any other characteristics that you need to add.

Make sure to press “save” when you are finished and e-mail away.
