  2. Click on the gear icon  for Outlook Settings in the top right of the screen > Scroll down the settings menu that opens on the right > Click on “View all Outlook settings”

  2. Click “Save”. That’s it, you’re all set up.
  3. You can go back and change your signature at any time.

How to add your signature to a single email

By default Outlook will check  2 checkboxes at the bottom of their integrated editor. One is for automatically adding your new email signature to every new message that you send and another one is for adding the signature when you “Reply” to received emails. Be sure to uncheck either box if you don’t want Outlook to automatically add your signature.

If you uncheck both boxes you should consider simply copying and pasting your ready-made email signature into your new message window, on those occasions that you want to use it. 

Copy-pasting manually is also a good option if you like to use different signatures for different occasions. Since Outlook 365 doesn’t allow for more than one automatic signature per account.
