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.
Source-derived reference
These notes were recovered from OneNote. Configuration, permissions and operating results have not been freshly verified. Confirm the applicable authority and environment before acting.
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.
