The API provides an easy way to bulk update user profile properties in SharePoint Online.&nbsp;Typical example use cases&nbsp;the&nbsp;following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Synchronize&nbsp;Line-of-Business system profile information to SharePoint Online. An example usage would be to expose it to Search or consume the properties via customizations<\/li>\n<li>Migrating&nbsp;to SharePoint Online from on-premises with custom profile properties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The&nbsp;API works in a way that you provide the needed user profile updates for numerous profiles, using&nbsp;a file, which is then processed by SharePoint as one asynchronous&nbsp;process.
