Outlook: move appointments - how it works

Moving appointments in Outlook is not complicated. We'll show you how.

Intuitively move appointments in Outlook

To move your Outlook appointments that have already been created without deleting and re-creating them, proceed as follows:

1. Open Outlook and switch to calendar view via the menu at the bottom left or [CTRL] + [2].
2. If you want to postpone the appointment on the same day, you can do this simply by dragging and dropping. Click on the appointment and hold the mouse button down while simply moving the mouse at the correct time.
3. If the appointment is moved to another day, you can no longer simply postpone it. If you double click on the appointment, you will get more details. Now enter the new dates of your appointment under "Beginning" and "Ending". Finally save the appointment.

These instructions were carried out on a PC with Outlook 2010. For other versions, the process can vary slightly. Read here how to best manage your appointments in Outlook.
