## Reassigning a Single Contact

To reassign an individual contact:

1. Go to **Contacts**  
2. Open the contact record  
3. Locate the **Assigned User** field  
4. Select the new user from the dropdown

The contact will now be assigned to the selected user.

## Reassigning Contacts in Bulk

To update multiple contacts at once:

1. Go to **Contacts**  
2. Select multiple contacts  
3. Head to the **Selection Cart**  
4. Open the bulk actions menu  
5. Choose **Assign User** button  
6. Select the new assigned user

This will update the assigned user across all selected contacts.

## Important Notes

- Reassigning a contact does not delete activity history
- Contact notes, emails, and transactions remain attached to the contact record
- Bulk reassignment can help quickly reorganize ownership across teams
