# What happens if I change the name or email of a user in Active Directory?

The next sync should automatically update the name in AwareGO but the email will be left unchanged.

We are planning on improving this feature but in the meantime, we can help you if submit a change request to [support@awarego.com](mailto:support@awarego.com).
