Editing, copying or deleting a contact

The three actions sit in the same place, twice: hovering over the card or the row of the contact shows three icons — the pencil («Edit»), the two pages («Copy to another address book»), the bin («Delete») — and the same three are at the top right of the «Contact details», the one that opens with a click on the contact.

Editing

Click the pencil: the «Edit contact» window opens in the middle, with the same three tabs as when creating. Change what you need and «Save» at the bottom.

To move it to another address book: in the «General» tab there is the «Target address book» dropdown; choose the other address book and save.

Deleting

Click the bin. ⚠️ «Are you sure you want to delete this contact?» is the only warning: there is no recycle bin to recover it from. If in doubt, download the address book as .vcf first (see the page on downloading an address book).

Having it in two address books

Click the two pages: a small «Copy to another address book» window opens with a dropdown — choose the address book and click «Copy». The contact stays where it is and a copy appears elsewhere. It is the way to have the same supplier both in your personal address book and in the shared office one.

⚠️ From that moment they are two distinct contacts: correcting the phone number in one does not correct it in the other.

If in the small window you read «No other address book available.» it means you have only one you can write to.

If you cannot edit it

An address book shared with you in «Read only» can only be consulted: the three icons do not appear. It is not a fault, it is the permission you were given it with.
