What is "CC"?
CC stands for "carbon copy" and is used in emails to send a copy of the message to additional recipients beyond the main one. When someone is added in the CC field, they will receive the email, but they are not the primary person intended for the message. CC is often used to keep others informed or involved in a conversation without directly addressing them. The recipients in the CC field can see the email addresses of everyone included, allowing for transparent communication.
Examples
Use CC when you want others to be aware of the email content without being directly involved.
