How to Add a CBC Signature to Your Emails

Follow these steps to add a signature to your outgoing CBC emails. Be sure that you're logged in to your staff account. The images below are from the new Outlook app; the process is the same on the web app (https://outlook.office.com/mail/)

Note that the Marketing & Communications department maintains a page on the intranet (Email Signatures Page) relating to email signatures. The article below is intended to offer a visual guide, as a companion to the official intranet page.

1. With the Outlook app open, select "New" near the upper left corner to open a blank email draft.

4. Use the drop-down boxes near the bottom to automatically add your signature to new messages and/or replies as desired. Click "Save" once more. If you don't set the signature to automatically appear on emails, you can manually add it with the "Signature" drop-down when composing an email.
