Updates to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/schooldatasync/ section

There doesn't seem to be an option to comment on the docs section https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/schooldatasync/ as there is for example on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/office-365-service-descriptions-technet-library.

School Data Sync (SDS)
, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/schooldatasync/ (published date 09/30/2017) says:
"School Data Sync (SDS) is a free service in Office 365 for Education that reads the school and roster data from a school's Student Information System (SIS). It creates Office 365 Groups for Exchange Online and SharePoint Online, class teams for Microsoft Teams and OneNote Class notebooks, school groups for Intune for Education, and rostering and SSO integration for many other third party applications."
And https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/schooldatasync/frequently-asked-questions (published data 04/15/2018) still say:
School Data Sync is a free service in Office 365 Education that reads the rosters from your SIS, and creates classes for Microsoft Teams, Intune for Education, and third party applications.
...
SDS allows you to automatically create Class Teams within Teams for Education
(There are likely more references to SDS creating Teams that could be found) - perhaps someone could update these references in light of https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/schooldatasync/whats-new-with-school-data-sync (published date 03/26/2020) and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/schooldatasync/improved-class-and-roster-sync-for-teams (published date 04/14/2020) to explain the difference between the ways Teams are provisioned for sync profiles created before and after 3/26/2020?
