Hello,

Outlook.com lets you edit, add, delete and rename groups. This functionality is called "Manage Groups" and can be accessed from the "Manage" drop down menu in the header when on the People page.

Outlook.com also lets you add and remove people from a group.

  1. Visit the People page
  2. Select the contacts that you want to add to a group by clicking on the checkbox next to their name in the contact list
  3. The header shows an item called "Groups"
  4. Select the group you want to add this person to and click apply.

From this menu, you can also create a new group and manage groups.

    Hi,

    If you want to add or remove contacts on an existing group, here's how to do it:

    1. Go to https://people.live.com
    2. Under People's page, click on the drop down arrow beside All located at the left part of the page and select the name of the existing group where you want to add/remove a contact.
    3. Please put a check mark on the box beside the name of that contact that you want to remove and click on Delete.
    4. A dialog box will appear confirming the deletion. Click on Delete again to confirm it.
    5. Now, if you want to add a contact on an existing group, kindly click on the drop down arrow beside the name of the group, and then go back to All.
    6. Again, put a check mark on thebox beside that name of the contact that you want to add on your existing group. Once done, click on the word Group that you'll see at the top part of your page. This will open a dialog box which contains the list of the groups that you've created.
    7. Select the name of the group that you want those contacts to be added and then select Apply. Refresh the page to see the changes or you can sign out and sign in again to see the changes.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I’m sorry but there’s no option in Outlook.com to export a specific contact or group. When you click on Export button, this will automatically export and create a CSV file that will contain all your contacts.

    Thanks!
