  1. Go to Google, choose “Contacts” option using “Contacts” drop down at the top.

  2. You can view all the contact sync options in the left navigation with their appropriate results on the right side.
  3. Click the “Apptivo Contacts”; you can view all the synced contacts from Apptivo. 
  4. Enable the check boxes of the contacts which you want to remove from Apptivo shared groups.
  5. Once you’ve enabled the check boxes you can view the group icon appears at the header level of the screen.
  6. Click group icon, it drops down all the Apptivo shared contact groups. Uncheck all the “Apptivo Shared Groups” and make sure to click the Apply option from the list.
  7. Now you can access the removed contacts from “My Contacts” but it will not be shared to other users.

In the following example you are able to view the exact structure of contact deleting from Apptivo.

Delete all synced contacts
