Importing Contacts in Outlook on the web:

*It’s important to keep in mind that if you import a contact that is already in your contacts, it will make a duplicate. In addition to this, keep in mind that you cannot import more than 2,000 contacts at once since the .csv file will be too large. To fix this, use a program like Excel to split the file into two .csv files.

1. Login Outlook on the web
2. Click the Outlook icon
3. Click on the “People” tile.
4. Click on the “Manage” button near the top of the window.
5. Choose “Import Contacts” from the dropdown window that appears.
6. Choose the location from which you are importing the contacts.

1. If the .csv file is from OWA using the Outlook 2010, 2013, or 2016 option will work.

6. Click the “Browse” button and choose the .csv file which contains your contacts.
7. Once the .csv file has been chosen, click the “Upload” button near the top of the window.
8. You should get a message saying the import was successful. Your contacts will now be in your contact list.
