I have recurring client appointments, which I edit if eg. there is a cancellation or a no-show. I need to keep this history.
If I want to reschedule Client X to a different time going forward, then my only option appears to be changing the end date of the recurring series and starting a new one. But that removes all changes made to earlier occurrences.
The only other "solution" seems to be downloading a csv, and uploading it again - what a palaver. Surely there must be an easier way to edit "all occurrences from this point onwards" as you can in the Google calendar?
I can see that this issue has been raised as far back as 2016 - what do we have to do to get it on the wishlist for the next upgrade to Outlook?
Come on Microsoft - Google can do this, so why can't you?

Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

I so feel your pain on this one! It is extremely annoying and seems like it should be simple enough to fix.
I also have this issue. I used to be able to update notes within a recurring calendar entry, and it would ask me "save for this and all future events". This was an option IN ADDITION to "edit entire series" or "edit just this occurance". Needless to say it's EXTREMELY upsetting that the options have changed and that there it no fix. =(
I agree with previous users. We MUST have a way to keep the history meeting of the previous recurrences when we change future recurrences. Microsoft has to find a way to change just the future meetings, without affecting the previous meetings. The ones done in the past should keep the date and time of their modification. It seems something not that hard to do, right? Sometimes we erase a meeting. Sometimes we reschedule a meeting for a different time. Sometimes the organizer of the meeting changes, and when we want to delete the future meetings (because that person left the company for instance) we lose all the previous meetings. All my colleagues have the same problem. It's very important in a project and a company to keep track of when the meetings were held. It's very frustrating. PLEASE FIX this issue.
Here is the actual solution to this problem: use the web version of Outlook.
EditThis event
This and following events
All events in the series
Here's a screenshot (I couldn't get the image uploader to work) https://i.imgur.com/3wXBk71.png
And it works if you have added notes to prior events in the series.
I wonder if this responder is a bot. They gave the same bad advice both times from a script it looks like. I agree with Ri_ARCS it is easily done in Google Calendar and for Outlook desktop app to be used by so many businesses where something like this is necessary, this should be a no brainer update.
I don't want deleted or changed meetings to reappear, especially if notes are sent and the time in my calendar is now different when actually the meeting occurred. I am surprised it has not been an audit issue for some businesses. Plus ending and creating adding a meeting series, especially when interfaced with Teams, generates a whole new stream of chat and shared information.
Maybe if some of the big companies using outlook would put pressure on MS they would correct this issue.
