How to save meeting changes but don’t send updates in Outlook?
For example, you have created a meeting and sent to attendees in Outlook already. Now you want to make some changes in the meeting, but do not send the updates to any meeting attendees, any ideas? This article will introduce three methods to solve this problem.
- Save meeting changes but don’t send updates with Save feature
- Save meeting changes but don’t send updates by Work offline
Save meeting changes but don’t send updates with Save feature
Actually, you can easily save meeting changes without sending updates by the Save feature in Outlook.
1. Double click to open the meeting, and make any changes as you need.
2. Click the Save button and the Close button
successively on the Quick Access Toolbar. See screenshot:
Now the changes in the meeting are saved, but not sent to any meeting attendees.
