Removing incorrect statement under 'Public Preview'
Under the 'Public preview limitations' section, there is a statement that was probably duplicated from the item below. Where it reads: "To be backwards compatible with the current version of group writeback, when you enable group writeback, all existing Microsoft 365 groups are written back and created as distribution groups, by default. **This behaviour can be modified by following the steps detailed in Modifying group writeback.**" It should read only: "To be backwards compatible with the current version of group writeback, when you enable group writeback, all existing Microsoft 365 groups are written back and created as distribution groups, by default." As can be seen under the same document, the next section ("when you disable...") also mentions the same wording. In practical terms, you cannot modify the initial writeback behaviour and even with the mentioned configuration, the groups will be written back. Confirmation can be seen under IcM 328462189.

While this release has undergone extensive testing, you may still encounter issues. One of the goals of this public preview release is to find and fix any such issues before moving to General Availability.  While support is provided for this public preview release, Microsoft may not always be able to fix all issues you may encounter immediately. For this reason, it's recommended that you use your best judgment before deploying this release in your production environment.  Limitations and known issues specific to Group writeback:

- Cloud [distribution list groups](https://docs.microsoft.com/exchange/recipients-in-exchange-online/manage-distribution-groups/manage-distribution-groups) created in Exchange Online cannot be written back to AD, only Microsoft 365 and Azure AD security groups are supported.

- To be backwards compatible with the current version of group writeback, when you enable group writeback, all existing Microsoft 365 groups are written back and created as distribution groups, by default. This behavior can be modified by following the steps detailed in [Modifying group writeback](how-to-connect-modify-group-writeback.md).

- To be backwards compatible with the current version of group writeback, when you enable group writeback, all existing Microsoft 365 groups are written back and created as distribution groups, by default.
137137
- When you disable writeback for a group, the group won't automatically be removed from your on-premises Active Directory, until hard deleted in Azure AD. This behavior can be modified by following the steps detailed in [Modifying group writeback](how-to-connect-modify-group-writeback.md)
138138
- Group Writeback does not support writeback of nested group members that have a scope of ‘Domain local’ in AD, since Azure AD security groups are written back with scope ‘Universal’. If you have a nested group like this, you'll see an export error in Azure AD Connect with the message “A universal group cannot have a local group as a member.” The resolution is to remove the member with scope ‘Domain local’ from the Azure AD group or update the nested group member scope in AD to ‘Global’ or ‘Universal’ group.
139139
- Group Writeback only supports writing back groups to a single Organization Unit (OU). Once the feature is enabled, you cannot change the OU you selected. A workaround is to disable group writeback entirely in Azure AD Connect and then select a different OU when you re-enable the feature.
