What Happens When I Move or Duplicate a Contact?
You can move a contact or make a duplicate of a contact and attach the same to another account.
- To associate the contact with only the new account, you can move the contact to that account.
- To associate the contact to both the accounts, you can duplicate the contact to another account.
