School Data Sync (Plan 1) service plan what is it?
This morning a new tile showed up in the portal of all our users. I checked the enabled serviceplans for my users and I noticed "School Data Sync (Plan 1)" was enabled for my Office 365 education plus license. I disabled the serviceplan for all my users, because I don't know what is does. I like to test new feature before making it available for all our users. I have read about school data sync before, it's about syncing data from a SIS tot O365. But what is the tile going to do? I haven't seen any communication about releasing this specific service plan and also the MS service desk couldn't give more info then the one available online from january when SDS became GA. Does anyone kwno what the tile is going to do as soon it's finished setting up?
HiddenGroupMembershipEnabled - SDS setting?
I have a customer who syncs groups to 365 via a CSV import to SDS. Student groups have the HiddenGroupMembershipEnabled attribute set as true. I'm aware that this attribute cannot be edited and to disable this feature, the group would need to be re-created. Is anyone aware of any setting or configuration in SDS that is automatically setting this attribute on student groups? If there is such a setting, can this be changed? Many thanks for your help.

(Re)moving students from Groups via SDS
Hi, Today I've been testing the School Data Sync with manual SDS files. I'm wondering if there's an option to facilitate a scenario where students should be removed from a certain section, and added into a new section. This might for example happen when a students enrolls into a new year and have switched education path. I've tried to test this scenario by first adding students via SDS to a section, and then removing the users with another SDS import from that same section. The result is that the student is still member of the Group (section) in Office 365. Also, i'ts very unclear to my what the "Active" / "Inactive" paramaters in the CSV should be doing. There are present in the Students, Teachers and Sections CSV files. Many thanks in advance. Regards, RemyDelete old students using SDS
School Data Sync (SDS) creates and manages our user accounts. SDS configuration is "New Users". At the moment SDS does not delete old students, which no longer exist in CSV files. Is it possible to delete old students using SDS? If not, how can I delete student accounts automatically?
