How do I manage contacts in Givebacks?

From Contacts > All Contacts, you can edit contact information, add contacts manually, import contacts, and create and use filters.

You can edit a contact's information by clicking on their name to open their profile. Then click the Edit button to change or add information. If the contact has already claimed their account (indicated by the green check mark by their name), you will only be able to Suggest an Edit.
