After you have completed the setup of the Microsoft Office Outlook Add in, a tab is added to the Outlook ribbon for your use. You use commands on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Synchronization tab to specify settings for synchronization and to review errors and conflicts.

In Outlook, choose the Add-ins tab, and then choose Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The following table describes commands on the ribbon.
