# Notifying others when your own contact information changes

When your personal contact information changes, you can send a group email message right from Address Book. The message will contain your updated vCard, and provide you with an area where you can request changes to your contacts' information.

Select "Notify people when my card changes" in the General pane of Address Book Preferences to automatically notify people when your contact information changes.

## To manually send updates:

1. If you don't have a group of addresses already, create one by clicking the Add (+) button under the Group column, and add the names of the people you want to notify.
2. Choose File > Send Updates.
3. In the dialog that appears, select the group or groups you want to send your notification to.
4. Type a subject and any message you want, and then click Send.

If some people in the group you are notifying have multiple email addresses, and you want to make sure you send the request to the correct address, choose Edit > Edit Distribution List, and then click the address you want to use. Bold indicates the current address.
