# Manual Teams class creation — source example

Inspect the captured manual education-class creation example. The source explicitly says a missing class should be checked in Edumate rather than created by running this example.

**NOTE**: YOU SHOULD NEVER NEED TO RUN THIS. If a team in missing or a teacher can't find it, then you should check with Edumate.
