Outlook signature is not displayed – Solution 2023
Signatures in Outlook are small sections of text that are automatically appended to the end of emails you send through Outlook. You can use signatures to showcase your name, contact information, company or position. You can also include a logo, quote or other visual elements in your signature. Signatures are a useful way to present your identity and contact information in every email you send, without having to manually enter that information each time. You can also create multiple signatures and use them for different purposes, such as for business and personal emails or for emails to different groups of recipients. In this tutorial, we’ll look at how to create and use signatures in Outlook.

Signature is not displayed in Outlook – solution
If your signature is not showing up in Outlook, there are a few possible causes and solutions you can try:

Check if there are any problems with your Outlook account. It could be that there are problems with your Outlook account that prevent the signature from displaying. If this is the case, try logging out of your account and logging in again to see if the problem is fixed.
Restart Outlook
Try restarting Outlook. There may be a temporary problem with Outlook that can be fixed by restarting the application. Close Outlook and open it again to see if the signature is now displayed.
