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.

    1. Is this (changing only future occurrences in a recurring event) possible in MS outlook as well?
    2. Similarly - I want to keep previous events even if the meeting organizer removed me from future occurrences. (i.e. rather than change one recurring event and add a new one, for logistic reasons the organizer often alters the invite list) Is this possible in MS outlook?

    Thank you!

    Can this be done on downloaded app versions, or does it have to be web based? On my PC apps (Outlook or Teams), I am still not seeing the option for "this and following events".

    I used to have this option but I no longer do. How can I get this back. It is so annoying and makes absolutely no sense for it to change past events that already happened.

    I used to be able to do this (just a week or two ago) and now that option is not available. Was this option

    taken away?
