Move a single contact or multiple contacts to a different list

View the contact lists an individual contact is currently part of, add them to a new list, or remove them from an outdated list, or remove a group of contacts from a list and add them to a new list

Keeping a well-managed contact list helps you make sense of your contacts so you can get the right content in front of them. Sometimes you have to change the lists your contacts are a part of:

• Move an individual contact to a different list
• Move a group of contacts to a different list

Be a better marketer: Maintaining a clean contact list full of engaged contacts helps you segment your list and improve your open rates.

Move an individual contact to a different list

Over time a contact can end up being a part of more than one contact list, but you can see exactly which lists an individual contact is on by viewing their contact record. From there, you have the option to remove the contact from a list, add the contact to another existing list, or create a new list to add the contact to.

1. From the contacts dashboard, click the Contacts tab.
2. Search for the contact you want to view.
3. Next to the contact, click . . . > Edit.
   
   
   
   
4. Select the lists you want your contact to be a part of or deselect the lists you want to remove them from. If you want to create a new list, click Create list.
5. Click Save.
   
   
    
6. Review the Lists section and click the X to close the Contact Details window and return to the Contacts tab.
   
    
    

Move a group of contacts to a different list

Your contacts can be a part of multiple lists to help you better target your email content to the right audience. However, when a contact isn't a good fit for a particular list, you can also move them to a new one and remove them from the old one to keep things organized.

1. From the contacts dashboard, click the Lists tab.
2. Next to the list you want to remove contacts from, click . . . > View list.
   
    
    
3. Select the contacts you want to remove.
4. Click Actions > Add to list.
   
   
    
5. Select the list you want to add the contacts to from the drop-down menu, or create a new list by clicking the Create List button.
6. Click Add.
   
   
    
7. (Optional) To remove the contacts from the original list, repeat steps 4 and 5, and select Actions > Remove from list.
