Lately I have had several occasions where deleting or importing a managed solution has removed groups and their subareas from the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Experience (from here on out known as CRM) sitemap. The sitemap is the area at the top of CRM used for navigation. The two groups that seem to be affected are under Settings.

Apparently due to outcry from the community and some missing functionality with its replacement the Dynamics 365 App for Outlook aka Outlook App, the Outlook client is no longer deprecated.
Like many of you that have Dynamics 365 organizations online, we received our “Scheduling Your Dynamics 365 Organization for the Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) version 9.0 Update” notice recently. If you have not scrambled to get your update scheduled you still have time.
