I'm hoping someone out there can help me sort this out finally...
Our org has a group of members, all external to our organization (none have an org domain name email), who we all email on a regular basis. I have created a "contact list" through the people tab in Outlook, and added all those contacts to the list. My question is very simple...
How do I share that contact list with my coworkers?
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

Hey guys, check this out - https://sharedcontactsmanager.com/blog/how-to-export-and-share-contacts-in-microsoft-outlook
No idea where the "share contacts" option is on the individual contact. Only have export contacts. This used to work so seamlessly being in control of a committee and sharing updates to the membership. Now it's clunky and not user friendly.
Does this for me too.
I was looking at this issue today (1/06/2025) and out of frustration, I switched the user back to classic Outlook. As it was switching, a survey popped up and asked me why I was switching so I typed in that there are issues with shared contact lists. Once I did that, a help box was displayed stating that new Outlook does not support shared contacts.
Once the switch back to classic Outlook completed, the shared contact list showed up as expected.
WTAF is Microsoft doing with this new Outlook garbage? Crippling the Outlook client and calling it "New" is absolute insanity.
I hope this helps someone
That you cannot do this is inhibiting our company to switch to the new outlook and go all web-based. It is crucial to be able to collaborate on a shared contact list. I mean it can´t be that much more dificult than sharing a calender??
