Note: Don’t worry about any duplicates in the list, Outlook will automatically remove them and will only list them once.
#How to merge outlook contact groups update#
The benefit of this approach is that when someone leaves, you don’t have to update multiple groups. Instead of creating a group which includes all the contacts of your list, you can create a new Contact Group which contains the Contact Groups Players, Trainers, Referees and Support. When you also still want to use the smaller groups, it is best to nest the Contact Groups into a new Contact Group instead rather than to add individual contacts You would then have a group in a group.įor instance, when you have a list of contacts for your soccer club and you have created groups for Players, Trainers, Referees and Support but also want to have a Contact Group to address everyone at once. However, there are a couple of ways to still combine them with minimal effort or at least a whole lot less than doing it manually -) Nesting groups Sadly, you can’t directly copy the members of a list and add them to another list not is there a direct way to combine groups in Outlook. Is there any way I can quickly combine multiple Contact Groups into one? As they hold quite a few Contacts, I don’t really feel like adding them manually or recreate the group entirely. I’ve created several Contact Groups in Outlook (known as Distribution Lists in previous versions of Outlook) which I use for mailings.ĭue to some restructuring and increase of my sending limit, I now like to combine some of these groups into 1 group.
