About this tag
The outlook contacts tag covers Microsoft’s new Outlook for Windows feature that provides read-only access to contacts stored in PST files for Government Community Cloud users. Tagged coverage explains how users can browse historical contact records without importing or rewriting them, while also highlighting important limits. The feature is not a full replacement for classic Outlook’s mature PST tools and does not necessarily provide an editable working address book. Readers can use this information to understand the difference between viewing archived contacts, editing contact data, and moving records into a supported Microsoft 365 mailbox.
