Something you've been asking for is the ability to kick off the OneDirectory sync yourself.

Well - now you can! 🙌

As you know, OneDirectory syncs [user profiles](https://www.onedirectory.com/employee-profiles?ref=onedirectory.com) from Azure Active Directory (via the Microsoft Graph). 

It does this automatically, every 12 hours. ⏰

But when doing a clean up of your organization's user profile information you had to wait a while before seeing the changes in your employee directory.

Now, on the Sync screen see the OneDirectory sync status, kick off a sync manually.

Click the **Sync Now** button to update OneDirectory with the latest user profile information from your Azure AD tenant.

The sync progress will be displayed in real-time, and it typically only takes a minute or two to complete (a few minutes longer if you have thousands of employees).
