How to alter future meetings without changing the past events in a series of repeated meetings?

Example:

  1. I have a meeting set up to repeat every Monday at 9 AM from 1st January 2023.
  2. Assume today is the 1st of November, and I want to move all the recurring meetings to Tuesday.
  3. Outlook allows me to change the current event or all the events in the series.
  4. Single-event change is OK.
  5. But if I have to change all future events, I have to select "Edit" >> "All events in the Series."
  6. This option not only changes future but all the past events as well.

How can I ensure that only future events are updated (to Tuesday 9 AM) and I still have the entries of all past events in the calendar (as Monday 9 AM).

Thank you in advance.

Update: I'd like you to know that this is now fixed.

If you open a recurring event and then click the edit button at the bottom left corner of the event window, it allows you to edit "This and all following events" ****

Thank you, Microsoft Team.

    Thanks! Using the Web version did the trick, but hopefully it will soon be incorporated in the desktop version soon.

    Thank you for mentioning this! This worked for me. I normally use the desktop version, but I was able to change this and future events using the web version of Outlook.

    Bless you!

    I wish I'd known about this as soon as it was available. I'm afraid to know how much historical calendar data I've lost while this was available from Outlook.com. Shame on you Microsoft for not fixing this in Outlook desktop.

    Unfortunately, my organization has blocked use of the web interface because it is does not meet our security requirements. This feature should be included within all interfaces of Outlook.
