Meeting "Send Update" No Longer Prompts to Send Updates to Everyone or only Added Users
Probably related to the following:
Outlook calendar - automatic processing of small changes in meeting details
When a meeting organizer updates a meeting details that do not affect the date/time/recurrence pattern, I.e. add Skype for Business meeting link, Office 365 will automatically process and add the changes to the invitees’ calendars without requiring the invitees to receive a meeting update in their inbox and having to respond again to the meeting invite. You will be able to customize the logic for what details should be auto-processed for your organization, and which ones should continue to be shown as a meeting update in the invitees’ inboxes. At this time, we are not going to provide an option in Outlook for the organizer to choose how updates go out.
Hi - I don't think this answers the question originally posed.
When I remove an attendee from my invite which has more than 200 attendees, it doesn't prompt for whether I want to send to "all", or just "added/removed" attendees. It automatically sends an update to all attendees, although I haven't made ANY updates to the body, location or time.
When I do this with a smaller attendee list, it works as expected.
Please advise - it's very embarrassing to send updates to over 200 people every time I try this!
thanks

Karen_L - Did you ever get an answer to your question? It's two years later and we're seeing the same behavior as what you described in Outlook 2016 on Windows 10:
"When I remove an attendee from my invite which has more than 200 attendees, it doesn't prompt for whether I want to send to "all" or just "added/removed" attendees. It automatically sends an update to all attendees, although I haven't made ANY updates to the body, location or time.

- Agreed - this is such an annoying glitch. We experience it every so often with Outlook invites (often sent to larger groups). There doesn't seem to be a solution OR explanation from Microsoft...our workaround has sometimes been to re-create the meeting series (with the thought that perhaps, over time, it has become corrupt in some way) but that's also not a good solution since the point is that we want to be less disruptive to these large groups of individuals...
- Karen_L's issue is exactly my issue.
Karen_L, I am having the same issue with Outlook for Mac Ver 16.28.
Microsoft, what is the ETA to correct this issue?

mgmiller A colleague is also having this issue, keen to hear a resolution..
- Sorry - this is using Outlook for Office 2016 on Windows 10.
