-===== Installing the the Thick Client =====+===== Installing the the Thick Clients/Applications ===== 
 +Once you have gone through the onboarding process, you likely will also want to install desktop clients, which are available for email (Outlook) as well as all productivity apps (Word, Excel etc) and the Teams client for collaboration. These are all available as part of the Co-op's license and can be installed on up to 3 computers if need be. Instructions on how to install the thick clients are available at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/download-and-install-or-reinstall-microsoft-365-or-office-2021-on-a-pc-or-mac-4414eaaf-0478-48be-9c42-23adc4716658?WT.mc_id=365AdminCSH_SupportCentral
  
 +Learning to Use Outlook
 +Every Co-op staff member is hopefully a member of a public library. For those in BC, libraries have licensed LinkedIn Learning which is full of helpful tutorials to help you learn how to use both Outlook and MS365 better. Here are some links to helpful tutorials to get you started:

 +(more menu options are available by clicking on the three dots)
 +
 +  * on the View menu you can unselect "Show Focused Inbox" which will give you one Inbox instead of Focused and Other
 +  * on the View menu if you go to Layout -> Layout you can change the display of the Folder Pane and Reading Pane (I like my reading pane on the bottom instead of the default Right)
 +  * on the Home menu Rules -> Create Rules is where you can set up filters for automatically moving emails into specific folders (among other things)
 +  * on the View menu Current View -> View Settings -> Conditional Formatting is where you can change the colour and font of messages that meet certain criteria.  (For example I've set up formatting so all my listservs come in as green and Launchpad comes in as purple.)
 +  * Your address book does not migrate. You will need to add your contacts.
