Hi @Beth Wheeler, 

Thank you for posting your question to the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

According to your concern, in the new Outlook, you can remove or add attendees without sending updates to everyone. When you edit the attendee list, Outlook will display an option to send updates only to attendees whose status has changed. 

To remove an attendee without notifying others: 

  1. Open the meeting in Outlook. 
  2. Remove the attendee from the participant list. 
  3. Click Send. 
  4. In the prompt that appears, select Only added or removed attendees.

    In Outlook, when you want to remove an attendee from a meeting without sending an update to all attendees, you can do so by following these steps:

    1. Open the meeting request in your calendar.
    2. Remove the attendee from the list of participants.
    3. Instead of sending an update, simply save the changes to your own copy of the meeting request.

    This way, the attendee you removed will no longer be part of the meeting, but the remaining attendees will not receive an update about the change. However, please note that the removed attendee may still see the meeting in their calendar unless they are notified or the meeting is updated in a way that reflects their removal.
