Thanks team. Quick question, can we have some clarity on whether Entra Connect Sync will have this capability without the need for Entra Cloud Sync?

    Write-back capability will only be available through Entra Cloud Sync (This feature will not be shipped through Entra Connect sync).
    Customers can continue to use Connect Sync for sync from onprem to cloud, but for writeback Entra Cloud Sync will always be needed (in side by side configuration).
