Outlook for Windows:

Your users will see recommendations to install the publicly available Microsoft Outlook Extension for Edge. Your users can dismiss the recommendation. They will see the recommendations at most two more times within a 60-day period before it is suppressed permanently.

Users can decide whether to install the Outlook extension.
