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?

(Also curious why Outlook doesn't appear under the list of MS 365 & Office apps ??)
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Finally! It was finally added to the latest update ("new Outlook").
Well.... I´ve got issues with updating some changes and…. so many things. At least it seems they are working on it.
Thank you for the hint to use the web version – it helps me a lot.
Yeah, no, don't do that - you will definitely lose your history.
We've established that if you make changes in the Outlook web version (not the desktop one), you have the options of editing just the current event, this event and following ones, or all events in the series. This keeps your history of changes, and will sync to your desktop version with history intact.
One day Microsoft will see fit to make these options available in the desktop version as well, but I'm not holding my breath.
I now have my Outlook calendar open as a web tab and do all my bookings there. The rest of Outlook I use on my desktop version.
Cheers.
Best and most straightforward solution for me has been to use Outlook web version for my calendar, and desktop version for email and everything else.
I set up the web version as one of my browser home tabs and haven't really had to think about it ever since.
Agree with you that the same functionality should be available in desktop as online, but at least it is available online.
Hope that helps.

It worked for me on the web which automatically updated my desktop Outlook app. I don't see why you would need to view your calendar on the web. You only need to go to the web to update the recurring meeting. It would be nice if the desktop app also had that option though I suspect it may have to do with corporate policies.

It *seems* to work in the web version - see previous post from mimichwan.
Now we just have to wait for Microsoft to make it standard. Currently I'm having to view my email on my desktop and calendar on the web.
Or are you saying that it only worked for 1 out of 3 meetings for you on the web version? That would be exceptionally irritating.
