PnP Web Cast - Getting started with SharePoint Framework

In this PnP Web Cast we concentrated on Bulk UPA Custom Profile Properties Update API for SharePoint Online, which enables you to update custom profile properties of your end users in batch format. This API will provide you support to synchronize additional APIs to SharePoint Online User Profiles from any system.
You can configure what attributes are being synchronized from on-premises Active Directory to Azure Active Directory, but due numerous reasons, there's no support for modifying mapping between User Profiles in SharePoint Online and Azure Active Directory. This means that if you are interested on exposing or using additional custom profile properties in SharePoint Online, you'll need to get them synchronized there using APIs. Previously this was only possible with one-to-one updates using CSOM, which did not perform that well. Using this batch update API, you can much more efficiently include additional information around your profiles.
Notice. At the time this web cast is released, this capability is ONLY available for first release tenants. Worldwide release cross all tenants is planned to happen during summer 2016.
