Adding Coordinate Values to Points with Names and Ids already on Map

Hello All,

I am VERY new to geospatial mapping and ArcGIS. I paid someone to make me a map with some coordinates, but they missed quite a few elements. The map they gave me had 600 points each labeled with an ID, a Name, and the X and Y coordinates.

I added 200 new points to the map, with ID and Name, but I made the assumption that it would autofill the X and Y points since I was adding them to particular locations on a map. When I hover over each point, the coordinates are there (obviously), but they do not appear in that 'point's details.

My question: is there a way to 'mass add' the missing coordinate values to these additional 200 points? Or will I have to go back to each of those points on the map and manually add the coordinate values?

Thanks for your help, and apologies if this question is framed poorly! (I didn't even know quite how to search for a solution, if one already exists)

Will this tool do what you want?

That looks almost perfect! I'm using ArcMap 10.7.1, so I'l search for a similar feature and let you know!
