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.

**Currently version number is not included in the template**

### CSV template structure

The rows in a downloaded CSV template are:

- **Version number**: The first row that contains the version number must be included in the upload CSV.
- **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**

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.

- **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.**

- **Column headings**: The format of the column headings is <*Item name*> [PropertyName] <*Required or blank*>. An example is `Member object ID or user principal name [memberObjectIdOrUpn] Required`. Some older versions of the template might have slight variations. For group membership changes, you can choose the member object ID or the user principal name.
- **Examples row**: The template includes a row of examples of acceptable values for each column. You must remove the examples row and replace it with your own entries.
