Add new participants to Outlook without having to send it to everybody

So update! I took the risk. I used the old outlook and the "scheduling assistant" option as described above. Added some required participants and moved up some participants who were "optional" to the "required" section and "saved" (or pretty much "save and send update").

I was already added to this invite on my own email but the invite was originally sent from a shared account, so I was doing all this from that shared account. My test for if it notifies everyone then was if it notified me in my personal email. Thankfully I got no notification which means that the "send update" only went to those affected (the new emails added).

What is particularly frustrating is that Gmail has had this functionality for years. Add a person and it asks you if you want to send the update to the added and removed people only, or to everyone.

"Saving" changes goes hand in hand with sending an update. Is there really no other way to avoid notifying everyone else?

Thank you,

Unfortunately this does not do the job. It forwards the invitation but does not add the person to the meeting. If you forward the invitation and then go to the 'Tracking' menu, the person to whom you forwarded the invite, is not there. This means there is no record of who was invited using this approach.

To add a person, find the meeting in your calendar right click on the meeting and you can select Forward from the drop-down list, works without resending the invite to everyone.
