# Using Valedo in Outlook

> Your email signature is added for you. Here is what to expect.

Your organisation uses Valedo to manage email signatures. You don't need to create or update your own signature: Valedo adds the right one for you.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Status: in development.** Valedo is not live yet. This guide describes how it will work.

## What happens when you write an email

1. You start a new message, a reply or a forward in Outlook.
2. Valedo adds your signature to the message. This happens by itself; there is nothing to click.
3. You can edit or delete the signature in that message like any other text. Your change affects only that message.

*Valedo adds your signature as soon as you start writing. Illustration; screens may differ.*

Valedo adds one signature per message. If the message already has a Valedo signature, it doesn't add another.

## Which signature you get

Your administrators decide which signature each person gets. It can depend on your team, your office or country, the mailbox you send from, the date (for example, a campaign banner for a few weeks) and whether you write a new message or a reply. Your signature can therefore change without you doing anything.

Your name, job title, phone numbers and other details come from your organisation's directory (Microsoft 365). If a detail is wrong, ask the person who maintains employee records or your IT helpdesk to correct it there. Valedo picks up the change within about an hour.

## Where it works

* Outlook on the web
* The new Outlook for Windows
* Classic Outlook for Windows

## Turn off your old signature

If you set up your own signature in Outlook before, turn it off so you don't get two signatures:

* **Outlook on the web and new Outlook:** **Settings → Accounts → Signatures**, then set the default signatures for new messages and replies to **(no signature)**.
* **Classic Outlook:** **File → Options → Mail → Signatures**, then set **New messages** and **Replies/forwards** to **(none)**.

*Set both default signatures to (no signature).*

## The Valedo pane

![The Valedo pane in Outlook explains whether a signature was added and why.](https://mintcdn.com/valedo/GJEJp1LmshG4i1L0/images/user-guide/task-pane.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=GJEJp1LmshG4i1L0\&q=85\&s=86e804ed296951c3d00300cd03637cc2)

*The Valedo pane tells you whether a signature was added and why.*

Valedo also has a small pane in Outlook. If a signature didn't appear, open the pane to see why. You never need it for everyday use.

## Your data

Valedo uses only the directory details that appear in signatures or that your administrators use to choose a signature. It does not read your email.
