   • A banner appears briefly to inform users that there has been a change to the template file. It appears the first time the user logs in after the template change.
   • Private and public group columns in the template are optional, and can be removed.
   • Private group columns with a prefix “private-” can be used to create new private groups and to manage private group membership.
