Here is what's missing from that MS document:
If you are still using Microsoft Office 2019 for Mac, it will stop working fully on 13 July 2026. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook will enter 'reduced functionality mode', a euphemism meaning you can view and print documents but cannot edit, save, or create new ones. Microsoft's documentation doesn't clarify what this means for Outlook users.
Why is this happening? A certificate expiration is forcing Office 2019 into read-only mode, though Microsoft acknowledges this only obliquely in the FAQ. Without a current certificate, the apps can't confirm you have a legitimate license.
MS says this about it:
What you'll experience: You can open/view/print, but you can't edit or save
