Custom Fields is now available in **Early Access** for select OneDirectory customers.

We’ve been testing it with a small group of teams and are now opening access to a few more customers ahead of the general release.

With Custom Fields, you’ll be able to add the extra profile information your organization needs, beyond the standard Microsoft 365 fields, so your directory better reflects how your company works.

Interested in trying it early? **Reply to this email, and we’ll let you know if Early Access is available for your team.**
