Master Contact Form Location - Resolved

I want to edit the contacts form in Outlook 365 using the developer but I need to know where the original is stored so I can make a backup in case.  Does anyone know where it is stored?

    You can try searching for it using the search box in File Explorer.

    Follow these steps:

    1. Open File Explorer on your computer.

    2. In the search box located at the top-right corner of the File Explorer window, enter "*.oft" (without quotes) and press Enter.

      This search pattern will look for all files with the .oft file extension.

    3. Wait for the search results to populate. It may take a few moments depending on the size of your system and the search settings.

    4. Review the search results to find the OFT file associated with the master contact form. The file name might be "Contact.oft" or something similar.

    5. Once you locate the OFT file, you can right-click on it, select "Copy," and paste it to a safe location as a backup.

    If the search does not yield any results, it's possible that the master contact form template is stored in a different location or has been modified in a way that it cannot be easily found. In such cases, it may be best to consult with your organization's IT support or a knowledgeable Outlook administrator who can provide you with more specific guidance based on your setup.
