Instructions

1. Open the spreadsheet that you previously uploaded with your imported contacts.

2. Add a minus sign in front of the Group-Reg and/or Group-Year column headings > Save.

   • Note: To prevent Microsoft Excel mistaking this for a formula, you can type in an apostrophe before the minus sign or change the cell format.

3. Go to Tools > Contacts > Upload Data.

4. Click Browse > select the file > Upload.

5. This will have updated the previously imported students by removing them from their Reg and/or Year groups in Messenger.

7. Update the year groups and registration groups for all the relevant contacts > Save.
