Audience: Administrators with paid District or School subscriptions
Roster Sync Settings are flexible settings that give Districts or Schools who roster with Clever, ClassLink or Wonde the ability to manage their sync. The below overview of Roster Sync Settings show how Administrators can customize the sync experience to suit their needs.
Nightly Sync Time
Admin can select if they want their district's nightly sync to occur at either 8 PM or 12 AM (local time). By default, the sync is set to run at 8 PM local time, but Admins can adjust this depending on when their student information system syncs with Clever, ClassLink, or Wonde.
Teachers and Admin Sync
Teachers and Admins who are shared with Seesaw from Clever, ClassLink, or Wonde will be created and added to their designated Schools and Classes during the sync.
The Roster Sync Settings allow Admin to choose how users who are no longer included in their shared data are removed from Seesaw. They can choose to remove users manually or automatically with the sync.
Most administrators opt for the ‘Automatically with Sync’ option to ensure that the data in Seesaw reflects changes that are made to the Clever, ClassLink, or Wonde sharing data.
Expected Behavior: Manually Remove Users
Teachers and Admin who are removed from sharing data in Clever, ClassLink, or Wonde will not be removed from Classes or Schools in Seesaw. They will remain connected to Seesaw Classes and School dashboards, with the same permissions, until the Admin manually removes them from Seesaw.
It is recommended that if you choose to manually remove users, you regularly review their School Admin and Teachers to ensure that only active members of their School staff have access to the School Dashboard.
Expected Behavior: Automatically Remove Users
Teachers and Admin who are removed from sharing data in Clever, ClassLink, or Wonde will be automatically removed from Classes or Schools during the sync. Teachers and Admin will lose access to all Classes on the School Dashboard, but the Activities that they’ve created and saved will remain on their account. All Classes, Student Accounts, and Student Data will remain connected to the School Dashboard.
Notes:
- Student accounts will not be affected by these settings.
- Student accounts will always be added, updated, or archived based on the shared data in Clever, ClassLink, or Wonde.
- All manually created users that were never included in your shared data will not be affected by these settings.
End-of-Year Sync Pause
We recommend pausing your Clever, ClassLink, or Wonde sync between school years to prevent data changes in Seesaw before rostering for the next school year is complete.
This prevents common issues such as
- Classes archived before grading periods are complete.
- Creating Classes for the new school year before staffing and enrollment are complete.
By default, this setting is enabled, and your nightly sync will be paused in mid-June every year. You can disable this setting to continue syncing nightly over the summer in District or School Settings > Rostering.
Enable Family Syncing
Administrators can enable Family Syncing. During your rostering sync, Seesaw will pull in family members being shared in Clever, ClassLink, or Wonde directly into Seesaw.

Archive and Restore Clever Classes
Administrators can enable the option to allow teachers to archive or restore their Clever, ClassLink, or Wonde-created classes.
