Add content type file to every new document library created in a site
I created a new template via content type that I want to be available in every document library (existing and new). For existing document libraries on the site and subsites, I can manually add the template but there are 300 subsites with 4 folders each. I'm looking for a faster way to do this. Also, I want the template added to every new folder that is created on the main site or subsites. What is the solution?
SharePoint view filtered to Me
Hello! Is it possible to create a view, or JSON format a view, when a field contains my information that is not a people picker field? I have a multiple line of text field where I enter a JSON object with user emails. Is there a way to change the view to only show the line item if that text field contains my email? I have tried using that field with Contains [Me] but that does not work. Presumably as [Me] is for people picker fields. Is there a way to add a filter to the view to look for my email?
Can we fill *.pdf in File Identifier on Get file metadata
Sir, I'm a rookie of Power Automate, so i'm tried to created flow to automatic fill metadata column in SharePoint Library as below. So, if i have specific file identifier, the flow was running successful, but if i have fill *.pdf then the flow was running fail. In fact, i cannot specify file identifier was uploaded in SharePoint but this flow must run automatically. My question is how to fix on this an issue? Many thanks for advice. Sonchai M.

Hero and Quick Links web parts not supporting library and folder links
In the last few days, I noticed the "picker" modal used by the Hero and Quick Links visually changed. I didn't think anything of it at first until I realized the Hero web part was no longer allowing me to select libraries or folders to serve as the link. This was using the "Site" blade, which appropriately shows all the libraries and lets me drill into each and see the contents, but the ability to select a library or folder doesn't work. To make matters much worse, the "From a link" blade doesn't work either. "From a link" now seems to have a new validation component, so when I attempt to paste in a library or folder URL (i.e. https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/HR/Benefits) it detects that it's a SharePoint resource and displays a folder for me to select before I'm allowed to commit it - problem is, I still can't select this. I've tried pointing to the .aspx page that correlates to a library/folder view - doesn't work. I tried creating a Link in the library/folder that points to itself - I can't select these either. The Quick Links web part, on the other hand, does allow me to select these - same exact UI but allows for selecting libraries and folders. This does work for folders, but does not work for libraries. It visually looks like it works for libraries, but when you save the change is not really committed. I'm genuinely surprised to not have found this issue reported elsewhere so far. I assume this has to be a bug and hope it's fixed soon - allowing your most popular web parts to link to the root of content in your own platform is one of the most basic feature requirements and for this to break and not be noticed is pretty alarming.
Sites webpart not showing all sites in the hub
Hi there A few days ago I created a parent hub, and associated some sites. Then I made those sites a second level hub, and associated sites to the second level. In the second level hub sites, I created a sites web part to show all sites in the hub. But it only chooses one, or maybe 3 to 4 but not all of the sites. I have the permission to add sites to the hubs. I put in a call to Microsoft, heard back after 2 days which they said they would go away and find an answer and I've not heard back. Is there a particular method to doing this. Eg. Should I go back to the Admin Centre, disassociated sites, unregister hubs then redo it all in a particular order? (not preferred option) or is there another way I can get the sites web part to render sites. Thanks in advance.
Managed MetaData and Document Libraris
Hello, we are currently going through the process of setting up managed metadata tags on our SharePoint Online systems. The requirement has been identified that any documents need to be tagged with some labels, and I would like to make it so that, when the user creates or uploads a document to the libraries in question, that there be a popup window or some other form of forced interaction for the user that will require them to set the tags that we are wanting to use. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, cheers.What Are the Best Practices for Implementing Microsoft Power Automate in a Growing Organization?

Linking documents/pictures to other sites?
What is the correct way to use documents and images stored in a Home Site library on other SharePoint sites? I need to embed images and create hyperlinks to documents on pages in other sites. I have been using the “Copy link” button, which creates a sharing link with individual user permissions. The problem is that if I move the picture to another folder within the same library, the image sometimes disappears from the page. Occasionally the share link still works after moving the file, but not always. What is the recommended way to do this, and is it fully supported?Stock images -- insert or change not working
We are a GCC cloud client. Starting Tuesday, we are no longer able to add images or change images while accessing from the Stock Images option. When we click stock images, the app sits and spins and then throws an error "Your search didn't match any content. Please try another term". Does matter what the term is, it doesn't resolve. Prior to this, when clicking stock images, the window would open with images where we could then filter, etc. Now nothing will show not matter what. I am a SharePoint admin, we have also tried with Site owners and on different browsers with cache cleared. We did submit a ticket with MS, but response has been slow. Anyone else experiencing this?Integrated - PowerApps Customized Form - not working
Hi, The Power App customised form is not being retrieved. When the user selects the 'Add new item' button a customised form should open, but getting this pop up. Does anyone know if there are any issues with SharePoint Online and this will hopefully resolve itself or any other potential solution as to why this is occurring.

Hi SP Brain trust, We’re migrating a SharePoint 2019 on-prem farm (200+ sites) to SharePoint Online, which includes massive 100+ Nintex workflows heavily used across the business and we’re working within a tight timeline which makes it a massive challenge to go down the modernisation path. Has anyone migrated a large number of Nintex workflows (100+ ) from SharePoint 2019 to SharePoint Online using 3rd party tooling? What approach or tools did you use, how much manual rework was involved, and what was your overall success rate and effort like? Thank you!
Organization Asset Libraries not filtering in PowerPoint Brand Images
Hi, I have set up three Organization Asset Libraries on the same SharePoint site using the `Set-SPOOrgAssetsLibrary` PowerShell cmdlet. All three are image libraries, each intended for a different language version of our company assets. When I go to PowerPoint → Insert → Pictures → Brand Images, I can see a dropdown that allows me to switch between the libraries. However, regardless of which library I select, all images from all three libraries are displayed at the same time. My questions: 1. Is this expected behavior (by design), or is it a bug? 2. If by design — what is the actual purpose of the library switcher dropdown if it doesn't filter the content? Any insight or official documentation reference would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!OneDrive & SharePoint PDF Updates: Watermarks, Password Protection, OCR & Navigation!

Hi All, I've spent a lot of time building a List based company calendar in our SharePoint Intranet Portal, and the calendar itself is working great, however I'm having no end of headaches with the List Web Part. (not just for this calendar, but all list web parts for that matter) The calendar has a Start and End field - both are Date and Time fields. A custom view is created for use with the List Web Part to embed an "upcoming week" view, this is based on a filter which checks both Start and End dates to see whether an event exists within or spans the date range from today to 7 days in the future, so it is a rolling 7 day window. This is based on a number of filter criteria which include [Today] and [Today]+6. The view also has a sort criteria to sort based on the Start (Date/Time) field. This all works fine when previewing the view within the list itself - at midnight the results update to include events from the day that is now 7 days in the future which were previously excluded. So the view itself is working fine. However the same view in a List Web part on another page suffers from a ridiculous amount of browser side (?) caching, to the point that it is basically broken and unusable. When I open the page the next day in a browser (even if the browser was closed) one of three things happens, somewhat at random: The events 7 days in the future (which just came into filter scope today) just don't appear until a forced page reload is done. The events 7 days in the future do appear but they are sorted incorrectly, appearing at the TOP when the date sort order should show them at the BOTTOM. Sometimes 2 happens but the event is shown with the Start and End Date/Time fields empty - so not only is it at the wrong end of the list it doesn't even show a date at all until the page is refreshed. Here is a picture showing the sort order being incorrect as in case 2: When these various problems happen a full CTRL-F5 browser refresh always updates the list to be complete, up to date and sorted correctly, however, if after that you click away from the page and follow a link to return to it OR press a regular F5 refresh it goes back to being incorrect! It takes many page reloads or a lot of time to pass (hours) before it finally settles down and gives the correct results every time. Then the next day the same caching problems happen again. If you go to a new browser or PC the same problems happen again, suggesting this is browser side caching not something at the servers. While the actual content of the list items update in real-time if you edit the list content in another page (which is pretty cool) the "result set" of list items (which items should or should not be seen) is heavily cached, and the sorting is unreliable. Has anyone else found a solution to this ? I have already done things like disabling offline mode for the list, (this only seems to affect caching of the actual data in the list items, not caching of filter results) etc and I cannot find a solution. The only thing I know which would probably work, as I have had to use this approach on another list is to extend the date range of the filter criteria for the view further into the future, then filter out the extra days using json code in "format view - however AFAIK you can only selectively hide rows like this if you use a custom rowFormatter, which means you have to fully re-implement the standard view including hard coding all the columns you want and it still won't look quite the same. This is a lot of work and maintenance overhead in the future to work around a caching problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. Any thoughts appreciated as a lot of time and effort has gone into building an entire calendar system around a SharePoint List, only to find that the list web part just doesn't work properly.
