Undockable Task Pane
To reduce the footprint from the calendar view - FocusMe now enables the Task Pane to be undocked.  When Outlook is minimized, the task pane stays active off to the side of your screen.

When using a smaller screen, e.g. a laptop or tablet - the Dashboard and/or Charts window can be collapsed.

Sharing via Email creates a forwarded message that uses a tracking task and unique reference # to identify the subsequent conversation.
