You can edit the details for each contact in the Edit Contact panel, accessed by clicking the avatar to
the left of the contact. You can change or add the following information:

changed since the account was created, then the first name and last name defined by the
contact are shown.

blank. It can be used to supply information such as the contacts location, designation, title,

clicking the star next to the contact Skype Name / Microsoft account.
