# Using the Opensense Outlook Add-in on Android

## Overview

On Android, you open the Opensense Outlook add-in from an existing email. From there, you can switch between your signatures and update your settings on the go.

:::note[Not in the compose window]
Unlike on desktop, the Opensense add-in isn't available in the Android compose window. You must open an existing email to access it.
:::

## Before you start

You need:

- The Opensense Outlook add-in deployed to your account
- The Outlook app installed on your Android device


## Open the add-in

1. Open any existing email in Outlook, and then tap the **three-dot menu** icon in the upper-right corner of the message header.

2. An options panel appears. Scroll up within the panel to reveal the add-ins bar at the bottom, and then tap the **Opensense** icon.

## Switch your signature

Tap **Signatures**, and choose a different signature. This option appears if your organization has assigned multiple signatures to you.

Your choice applies the next time you compose an email.

## Update your settings

Tap **Settings** to edit any fields your organization has made available to you, and then tap **Update**. Fields that your admin has locked show a lock icon, and you can't edit them.

Your changes are saved, and apply to the next email you compose.

:::note[Selections stay on this device]
Custom compose field selections are device-specific. Checkboxes, drop-downs, and custom text fields are stored locally on each device, so selections you make on Android don't carry over to desktop or iOS. If you use Opensense on multiple devices, set your custom compose field preferences on each one separately.
