How to - Update a Contact in Outlook (Microsoft)

If someone has recently changed their name or email address, you can edit your saved contact information for that person. You can use a web browser on your computer, or use the Outlook app on your phone. If the account is a Wartburg account, you don't need to create or edit a Contact for that person, as they will already be accessible in your directory. If you are using a personal Microsoft account (not @wartburg.edu), you will need to add/update your contacts, as personal accounts do not have access to the directory.
