Whether you are creating a new group or editing an existing group, the heart of the group is always the people who belong to it. If you manage a group, you should keep its members and their details up to date. That’s why it’s important to know how to add and remove people, and how to change their details, such as their group role or group status. ## Add person To add individual person to a group, navigate to *Members* (1) in the group and click on *Add member* (2).

You can also add a *comment* (3), edit the *joining date* (4) and, if required, set the *leaving date* (5). You can also enter information in the group member fields (6). Click on *Add a person* (7) to complete the process and the person is now a member of the group. **Note** If the person’s campus differs from that of the selected group, you will be asked before adding them whether the person’s campus should be changed or kept as it is.

You then confirm the action, thereby removing the person from the group. **Tip** You can also find this feature in a group member’s profile.

To edit the group membership of an individual person, navigate to the *Members* area (1) and select the *table view* (2). Here you can quickly and easily make the desired change. To do this, hover over the field (3) you want to edit and click on the pencil icon that appears.

If you want to edit personal details, select (2) the people you wish to edit from the list of members (1) and then choose a bulk action (3) from the list below.

To do this, first select ‘Filter group in contact list’ (3) from the context menu (2) in the ‘Members’ section (1) of your group. You will then be automatically redirected to the list of people.
