An organization relies on the Salesforce Integration with Outlook to streamline communication. The sales operations team creates centralized Lightning Email Templates stored in a custom public folder to ensure consistent messaging across account updates. While sales managers can access and select these Lightning Email Templates from the Outlook integration panel, standard account executives report that only Classic Email Templates are visible in their integration pane, despite having View access to the template folder. Which action should the system administrator take to ensure the account executives can access and insert the Lightning Email Templates directly from Outlook?

Answer
Assign a permission set containing the 'Use Lightning Email Templates' user permission to the account executives.
In Salesforce Outlook and Gmail integrations, users require the 'Use Lightning Email Templates' permission to view, manage, and insert Lightning templates directly from the add-in pane. Providing this permission through a dedicated permission set resolves the issue while following least-privilege administrative practices.
