[Contacts](https://resources.go-paige.com/contacts?hsLang=en) # How to Edit a Contact Your contacts are at the heart of how Paige works, they're the people you'll share documents with, assign as**[delegates](https://resources.go-paige.com/important-terms#delegate)**, and include in your legacy plan. Life changes, and so do the details. Here's how to keep your contact information up to date. ### Table of Contents [Finding the Contact You Want to Edit](https://resources.go-paige.com/how-to-edit-a-contact#a) [Making Your Changes](https://resources.go-paige.com/how-to-edit-a-contact#b) [Common Questions](https://resources.go-paige.com/how-to-edit-a-contact#c) #### **Finding the Contact You Want to Edit** All of your saved contacts live in your [**Address Book**](https://resources.go-paige.com/important-terms#address-book), located at the bottom of the Contacts page. You can search by name or scroll to find the person you're looking for. 1. From the top navigation bar, click **Contacts**. 2. Scroll down to your **Address Book**. 3. Use the **search bar** to find the contact by name, or browse the list manually. 4. Once you've found the contact, click the **pencil icon** on the right side of their row. #### **Making Your Changes** Clicking the pencil icon will open that contact's detail page. From here, you can view and update three sections of information. ##### **Contact Card** This is the top section, and it shows the contact's: - Full name - Email address To edit, click the **pencil icon** in the upper right corner of the contact card. Update any fields you'd like to change, then save. ##### **Personal Info** This section can include things like: - Date of birth - Gender - Phone number ##### **Contact Info** This section holds address information. If no address has been added yet, it may appear as *"Address not specified."* It's a good practice to keep contact details current, especially email addresses. If a contact's email is outdated, any documents or messages you've shared with them may not reach the right inbox. ##### **Saving Your Changes** After updating the fields you need, click **Save** to apply your changes. You'll return to the contact's page, where you can confirm everything looks right. Once saved, the updated information will be reflected everywhere that contact appears in Paige — including any sharing settings or delegate assignments already in place. ### Common Questions ##### **"Can I change whether a contact is a delegate from the edit screen?"** The delegate role can be assigned from the Address Book using the **"Set as delegate"** button on a contact's row, not from within the edit form itself. If you need to update a contact's delegate status, head back to the main Contacts page.  ##### **"What if I need to remove a contact entirely?"** You can delete a contact using the **trash icon** on their row in the Address Book. Keep in mind that removing a contact may affect any sharing or delegate assignments connected to them. A good practice is to review those before deleting. ##### **"I don't see a pencil icon — what's wrong?"** Make sure you're scrolled all the way to the right on the contact row. On smaller screens, the action icons can sometimes be partially hidden. Try widening your browser window or scrolling the table horizontally. - [Getting Started](https://resources.go-paige.com/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [Wills](https://resources.go-paige.com/wills?hsLang=en) - [Contacts](https://resources.go-paige.com/contacts?hsLang=en) - [Delegates](https://resources.go-paige.com/delegates?hsLang=en) - [Documents](https://resources.go-paige.com/documents?hsLang=en) - [Passwords](https://resources.go-paige.com/passwords?hsLang=en) - [Messages](https://resources.go-paige.com/messages?hsLang=en) - [Memories](https://resources.go-paige.com/memories?hsLang=en) - [Business](https://resources.go-paige.com/business?hsLang=en) - [Knowledge Base](https://resources.go-paige.com/knowledge-base?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Family Training & End of Life Next Steps](https://resources.go-paige.com/knowledge-base?hsLang=en#family-training-end-of-life-next-steps) - [Billing & Account Management](https://resources.go-paige.com/knowledge-base?hsLang=en#billing-account-management) - [FAQs](https://resources.go-paige.com/faqs?hsLang=en) - Home - Products - Pricing - Blog - Company [![Logo messing around (1690 x 300 px) (5)](https://resources.go-paige.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo%20messing%20around%20(1690%20x%20300%20px)%20(5).png?width=150&height=84&name=Logo%20messing%20around%20(1690%20x%20300%20px)%20(5).png "Logo messing around (1690 x 300 px) (5)")](http://go-paige.com) [mailto:help@go-paige.com](mailto:help@go-paige.com) Copyright © 2026, Paige
