Office Developer Tools Preview for Visual Studio 2015 includes two major new features, the first being Add-in support for Outlook 2016. This feature allows programmers to add buttons to Outlook’s ribbon which will launch add-ins, menus, or execute specific functions via JavaScript. These add-ins will allow user to perform tasks from adding custom messages to emails to interacting with services from third party applications like Yelp or Evernote.
