      2. Right-click an instance of a repeating
      appointment and

         Select All instances and click the Ok button


      Warning

                      b. Use the drop-down menu to select All instances. Click OK to update all instances of the appointment.

    4. Click the Cancel button to leave the appointment as is.

    5. When you update All instances of a repeating event, the entire series of appointments is deleted and then re-created,
      Note
      Warning
      Selecting All instances will completely remove all previous appointments in the series, and re-create the series using the start date of the instance being edited. For example, if you update a repeating appointment using the third instance of a series that has five instances, the first two instances are deleted and the third instance becomes the first instance with four instances following it.

      If you want to maintain a series of repeating events with their original dates, either edit the first instance of the series, or edit any other instance and change the start date to the new date (e.g. the date when the first instance occurs).

      This applies only when you change the following event details: location, calendar, date, time, or repeat details. Changing other appointment details (e.g. description, duration, or summary) does not cause the series to be re-created.

      Removing the repetition details of a repeating appointment

      1. Uncheck the Repeat check box to erase the repetition details and make the appointment non-repeating.
       

                           i. Use the drop-down menu to select This and prior instances and click OK to update the instance of the event that was selected and all previous instances of the event.

                           ii. Use the drop-down menu to select This and future instances and click OK to update the instance of the event that was selected and all future instances of the event.
