Q: Signing out and in to iCloud, keep/delete contacts?
Trying to troubleshoot Continuity/Handoff for Mail.
Works fine Mac to iPhone, but have trouble with iPhone to Mac. Sometimes works, sometimes not.
Went to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204678
I've followed all steps per that guide up to:
Under "check your settings" on Mac, last step says: "Go to System Preferences, and sign out and then sign in again to your iCloud account."
When I click sign out, it gives me a prompt that asks me if I want to keep a copy of my contacts on this Mac? Options are "Delete from Mac", Cancel, or "Keep Contacts".
It's kind of a scary prompt needs explanation. Googling wasn't much help either.
Thanks!
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

When you sign out you can either keep the contacts on the Mac or not, whichever you choose this won't delete them from your account in the cloud, so if you (for example) delete them from the Mac, they would appear again when you log back into iCloud because they haven't been deleted from there.
