Bulk import csv template does not include version anymore

[ep3p]

Bulk import csv template does not include version number anymore (and the upload fails).

Please, could you check with the owner if the version number is really required? (they will have to change the docs)

or which will be the correct format for a bulk import csv?

Previous month the template files were named '''GroupImportMembersTemplate.csv''', and now they are called '''ImportGroupMembersTemplate.csv'''

Someone has changed the bulk import method, and has not tested if the change really works, nor updated the docs...

ImportGroupMembersTemplate (3).csv

Pull Request Overview

This PR updates the documentation for bulk importing group members in Microsoft Entra ID to address a change where the CSV template no longer includes a version number in the first row. The documentation adds disclaimers to inform users about this discrepancy between the documented requirements and the actual template structure.

Key changes:

• Adds a standalone note after the template screenshot stating that the version number is not currently included
• Updates the CSV template structure section to append a disclaimer about the missing version number

This line lacks proper markdown formatting. It appears directly after the image without a blank line, which may cause it to be rendered as part of the image caption instead of a separate paragraph. Add a blank line before this text to ensure proper rendering.

This description contains contradictory information. It states that "the version number must be included in the upload CSV" but then immediately adds "Currently version number is not included in the template." This is confusing for users.

Consider revising to either:

• If version number is temporarily missing: "Version number: The first row that contains the version number must be included in the upload CSV. Note: The current template does not include the version number row. Until this is resolved, start your data entries on the first row after the column headings."
• If version number is permanently removed: Remove the mention of version number requirement entirely and update the description to reflect the new structure.

Suggested change

	- **Version number**: The first row that contains the version number must be included in the upload CSV. **Currently version number is not included in the template**
	- **Version number**: ~~The first row that contains the version number must be included in the upload CSV.~~ **Note: The current template does not include the version number row. Until this is resolved, start your data entries on the first row after the column headings.**
