Reminder About Functionality Loss for Earlier Versions

When Microsoft® retired Internet Explorer® 8, 9, and 10, Salesforce for Outlook stopped supporting those browsers. As a result, earlier Salesforce for Outlook versions built to run on those browsers lost some side panel functionality. Remember that to continue working with Salesforce for Outlook, orgs with regular users can upgrade to Salesforce for Outlook v3.4.3, which runs on the still-supported Internet Explorer 11. Or better yet, take this opportunity to give users enhanced functionality and effortless upgrades by moving to our next-generation features, Outlook Integration (previously called Lightning for Outlook) and Lightning Sync.

Where: This change applies to Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience in Group, Contact Manager, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.

How: Your users see a message in the side panel to alert them that they’re working on an outdated version of Salesforce for Outlook. The message encourages users to upgrade to Internet Explorer 11 to avoid unexpected behavior.
