How do I CC someone?

Though the exact way to cc someone varies across different email services, the general process is the same.

The cc field is usually located underneath or beside the “to” field. When drafting an email, click on the cc field and add the email address(es) of anyone you want to cc.

You can also add recipients to the “to” and “bcc” fields. Draft your email as usual, and press “Send” when you’re ready.

What does carbon copy mean?

The term carbon copy (or cc) is a way to attach someone to an email thread. This person is visible to all other recipients and included in “reply all” messages. 

Ccing someone is a way to keep them informed, while indicating that they do not need to reply. An alternative to cc is bcc, which keeps someone’s email hidden from other recipients. 

When deciding whether to cc someone, consider whether they really need to be informed—no one likes receiving an unnecessary email! You should also make sure your emails are concise. QuillBot’s paraphrasing tool can help you craft informative, to-the-point emails.

There is no way to see who has been bcc’d in an email. Only the person who originally sent the email will know who was bcc’d.  

However, if someone who is bcc’d “replies all” to an email, it will be sent to anyone in the “To” and “Cc” fields.

If you’re sending an email to a large group of people (bcc’d or not), you want to ensure that your writing is error free. Try QuillBot’s free Grammar Checker to effortlessly find and correct typos.
