New in G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook 4.1.41.0 (Jun 30, 2020)

- Fixed Sync Issues messages about Calendar events descriptions format being discarded due to unsupported HTML. GSSMO now sets the default editor format to RTF in new G Suite Sync profiles.

- Important: Anonymous usage statistics are sent to Google if you check the Send crash reports and usage statistics to Google option when you create your G Suite Sync profile.
