Migrating via Groupcall For English schools - How to add additional data to your Arbor site

When migrating your school data to Arbor via Groupcall, we migrate the majority of the data you need to be census-compliant and effectively run your school site. However, there are some additional data points you may wish to input into Arbor, which we've outlined instructions for below.

Please note that some of these actions may require permissions that you don't have active on your profile. For information on adding the necessary permissions for users, see our article here.
