SkieHow do I move many students at once in Skie?
Use bulk move. Select the existing students you want to move, choose the destination group and confirm. All their devices pick up the new group's rules at the next sync. Bulk move works on students already in Skie. It is not a bulk upload of new students, which is not available yet.
Moving students one by one is fine for a single transfer. At the start of a term, or when two classes are merged, you want to do it in one go. Bulk move is designed for that.
The steps are simple: filter or tick the students who share a destination, pick the target group, confirm. Their policy and app list change to those of the new group, and the device records and histories remain. Seats do not change, because nobody has been added or removed.
A caution on scope. Bulk move works with students who already exist in the dashboard. Adding a whole new intake is done by enrolling their devices through provisioning, one provisioning session per group. A bulk student upload from a spreadsheet is something the team is working on, with no date.
Before confirming a large move, use the impact preview and the effective policy view for the target group. A group with a stricter policy than the one the students are leaving will change what they can do the next morning, and it is better that you see that before they do.
After the move, check Insights for the target group: the share on the latest policy should climb as devices sync, and any that stay behind will show as Due or Overdue.
Practical tip: for a very large move, do it in the evening. Devices that are charging and on Wi-Fi sync overnight, so the new rules are in place by morning.
