Description
If you have completed the initial onboarding for Microsoft 365 and the dashboard configure options are no longer available, you can still configure Client-Side signatures if you have not done so before.
In Client-Side signatures, signatures are synchronized to the users' computers for use in Microsoft Outlook. When messages are sent from Outlook, they are sent directly via Microsoft 365 and are not routed to Exclaimer for processing.
