    Fantastic news. Works like expected apart from the fact that the link to the plugin at the course level no longer shows in the main navigation drawer Course Mgt < User Links (we use boost-based Fordson). I have to click on the Course Admin link in Course Mgt and then Users to get to it. Any ideas? I emailed screenshots over last week. Many thanks!

    Hello, Karoline

    I'm not aware of this "main Course Management menu". Is it something the Fordson theme provides? Or is it Moodle core?
    It may be a change in Moodle or on the theme because for what I remember, I made the tool appear under Course administration -> Users -> Groups, at that time Moodle used the navigation block.
    With the removal of navigation block by default and the new menu on the cog icon, it may have being rearranged.
    I'm afraid there's nothing the plugin code can do to add itself to somewhere else more convenient.

    Would be possible to have a select all checkbox so that all groups can be selected at once?

    There is a new component to select all/none coming in 3.8. I'll implement that after 3.8 release.

    Hi Daniel: Fantastic plugin to help teachers manage groups--this plugin really makes group work flexible and encourages teachers to not be afraid to make groups since you can sync them between courses! Any timeline on your release for 3.8? Thanks again for sharing your great work with the Moodle community!

    Hello, Dinis
    I just made available a new version with a master checkbox to select/unselect all groups.
    This requires Moodle 3.8 onwards.

    Um grande abraço do Brasil!

    Hello, Jacek
    You may be synchronizing members that are not enrolled in the destination course.

    Hello,
    Are members who are added to the first group later automatically synchronised with the target group or is it necessary to re-run synchronisation every time we add new members?

    Hello,
    You'll need to re-run synchronisation every time you add new members.
