        2. Resolving conflicts

        A student can only belong to one class in Sparx Reader. If a student is in multiple classes, you'll need to choose which class they should belong to in Sparx Reader.




        3. Preview and sync

        After selecting your classes, click Preview & Sync Changes. Check the preview of classes and student updates. Once you're happy, click Sync Changes.



        4. Updates and changes

        The MIS integration will automatically update the following daily:

        • Class name
        • Year group
        • Student membership

        To make any changes, please update your MIS first, and Sparx Reader will then reflect them the next day.

        5. Manual Sync

        Changes in your school’s MIS will sync overnight. If you need quicker updates you can perform a manual sync. Simply go to More > Import & Manage Classes, click Preview Changes, and if everything looks correct, click Sync Changes

        Note that it may still take up to four hours for changes to appear in Sparx Reader after a manual sync.
