Importing additional users and classes
After importing data via Edlink by following the guide here, you may want to reimport data for any of the following reasons:
Import more classes than you did originally.
import new classes that have been created in your SIS/LMS after the original import.
Update rosters for existing classes (e.g. to reflect new students that have been added).
To reimport data into Flint, follow the steps below. As you can see, you can reimport from the existing integration(s), without the need to create a new integration.
Note: when reimporting data into Flint, no existing users or groups will be removed, even if they were removed from the rostering system. If you would like to remove data, those users and groups would need to be manually removed from the workspace by course teachers or admins.
