For those that have transitioned from ClickView to something else, do ClickView provide you with your library content back in a straightforward, convenient way, or is it down to schools to download their material manually from the site? PM if you prefer.

We use Bromcom's SMTP service. I presume that means that we will be unaffected by the above?

We are considering a move away from ClickView as the costs for the service have continually risen, it's not viable really to continue. Before we engage with providers can anyone advise if eStream (now Uniguest eStream) has generally been a cheaper proposition?

Cheers! Sent you a PM

Thanks so much. I needed this reminder on Sway's existence! How does publishing externally work?

I've been asked to look at solutions for re-vamping our existing weekly internal staff bulletin. We currently use Word with a very basic template which has become tired. Ease of use and a simple yet modern appearance are key. What do you use for your internal weekly comms? Are there web-based solutions that offer a modern look that can be published within a school network? Do O365 schools make use of SharePoint for this and if so, how?

ClipChamp is coming to Edu customers with A3 and A5 licenses according to their edu blog https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/education-blog/what-s-new-in-microsoft-edu-may-2024/ba-p/4132818#clipchamp

Are there any products or solutions for syncing student and staff accounts, timetable and class information from either Arbor or Bromcom to Moodle? We use 'Edulink for Moodle' that works (brilliantly) for SIMS but our days with that MIS look numbered.

I contacted Edulink and they were good enough to provide a list of modules already developed for Arbor compatibility and those on the roadmap for development. I won't post the list here as it will date quickly and wouldn't be fair to them but I would summarise it as encouraging.

Thanks for the reply. No, this is being done with an SDS profile that has expired correctly at the end of the academic year and yes, I am only selecting the class Teams created by SDS. A couple of weeks later I set up the new SDS profile to process the new academic year and that works fine too. This profile is managed by Salamander and to all intents and purposes we are running these steps correctly. My question is what happens ordinarily to the names of the SharePoint sites connected to those expired and archived class Teams? I would expect the site names to change to the same as the expired class Team name. Is that what you see?

Yes I do the Group Cleanup Report work as well. But for some reason when we move onto the archive and expiry stage after the Group Cleanup only a 100 or so of the SharePoint sites attached to those Teams get renamed the same as the Team with an EXP prefix, whilst several hundred don't get renamed which is leading to confusion for us and staff. I'd really like to know what should happen when it's working properly because I am hearing contradictory things. Should we expect to see the SharePoint sites get renamed?

Could someone kindly confirm if SharePoint sites connected to Teams get renamed when running the end of year expiry/archive process in SDS? It would be logical if they did.

As the title suggest the SharePoint sites connected to our Class-based Teams are not being archived/expired when we run the SDS Group Cleanup at the end of the academic year. This is leaving hundreds of sites confusing our SharePoint Admin view as they keep their original name rather than being renamed with the Team that they are connected to. When we expire our Teams they get an EXP-MMYY prefix which is necessary for keeping a handle on each year's Teams. Some sites do get renamed but it's about a tenth of the total number of sites that get created annually for our class-based Teams. Does anyone experience this and what steps do you take to tidy up all these sites?
