Cannot change a content type template's url anymore
Hello, I created a new content type for my site, everything works well, however I'm unable to change it's template url (Advanced settings -> use existing model). This is the error that appears once I hit the save button: This roughly translates to: "Unable to update advanced settings. A Web-type file cannot be attached as a template." Now this is strange because in the past I could do this without any issue. Has something changed in the template system, or could it possibly be a bug? Thanks in advance
SharePoint Online List: Filtered List View Not Refreshing After Change
Before recently, any time a change was made to a list row column that a view filter was based on, the items in view would automatically refresh to show the changes. Now the list view doesn't update unless the user refreshes the page in their browser. This is a consistent issue across all lists in the tenant. Our organization has SharePoint lists with a 'Status' column that impacts what items are shown in a view and its hurting productivity when these views aren't updating with new items unless the page is manually refreshed. Is there a new setting that is impacting the ability for filtered views to auto-refresh?RefinableStrings managed properties are assigned to crawl properties only at the site level
I accessed the managed properties at a site level scope inside SharePoint online, and I found some refinable strings assign to crawl properties, but when I accessed the same refinable strings at the tenant level i found that those managed properties do not have crawl properties assign to them, here is a example for RefinableString06:- Site level Tenant Level Also the confusing issue is that inside the UI the ability to assign crawl properties to those managed properties are disabled on the site level, so how those got assigned?Sharepoint no sync for userdata

SharePoint Framework
Let me explain you my scenario and use-case about what I am trying to build with SPFx. As i have tried all the possible Form customizations using PowerApps, SharePoint Forms, etc.. and not able to get the expected results. I am creating a primary list named Sales Leads List wherein i am tracking each leads getting in from our sales team. And i am creating related list named Lead Interactions to track the interactions associated with specific Lead of Sales Lead List. What i want to achieve is: I am creating a Add Interaction column/button on each lead of Sales Lead List. When user clicks this button, a Lead Interactions form should open with certain fields gets pre-populated from this Leads entry. Is it possible to achieve this use-case with SPFx and how?
Cannot find Sharepoint Online API endpoints
Hi Team, My team is working on SharePoint Online, and are not able to find APIs related to the following entities: 1. All List APIs 2. All files and folders APIs 3. All Link APIs 4. All Event APIs 5. All Page APIs. When we say 'all', we mean endpoints to create, update, get, delete and perform other operations on the above listed entities. We found a few APIs related to files and folders here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/working-with-folders-and-files-with-rest It would be very helpful if you could share rest of the endpoints with us. Thank you.SharePoint List Mobile Simple View not Using Selected Field
Hello, The SharePoint list my flow feeds into needs to be mobile-friendly, however whenever I configure mobile simple view for a view of the list, it will not display the field I selected, it only displays the Title field. Does anyone know why this might be? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!Creating SharePoint Intranet from scratch - What would you do?
Hello, I've just started at a new company and they desperately need an intranet created for the purpose of communication (announcements, etc.) and document management. The company I came from had already begun their design and development journey with a particular vendor prior to me being onboarded there. They mostly used out-of-the-box functionality with a bit of custom development for some things. It was a Classic site. This vendor did fine work but I am overall curious which direction you'd go given the opportunity to do it from scratch; either using any vendor you want and/or developing it yourself and the resources you'd use to accomplish that. I've of course Googled this myself but any direction or insight is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Morghan

Search results, document link goes to Page Not Found
When searching the site for a document (which is there), the link under the file goes to a Page Not Found. If I go to that URL, I see the file, but the link in the search results seems to be broken. A couple of things I am thinking could be the issue, so wanting to verify or if it is something else: Document library has 50,313 items File name could be too long (which includes the folder paths). I've re-indexed the library and will check if that helps.Set image focal point not working
When adding an image header to a SharePoint page, the "Set image focal point" is not working. Instead, it crops the image, and users are not able to control what part of the image is displayed in the header. I am wondering if this is a temporary glitch? Otherwise, there might not be a reason to have this button available in SharePoint in the first place. Anyone else experiencing this? I've just noticed it this week, but my colleague says this has been how header images work in her system for weeks.
Flow with for a selected file trigger does not appear for some users
I have a flow with the trigger "For a selected file" and I can see it by clicking on its three dot menu and then going down to power automate and seeing it as one of the options. My users who have full control of the site and are the ones I am developing the flow for say they do not get this option in the power automate menu. Is there something else I need to do for them to see it?Can't switch off grid view
We've a number of pages (about 90) We have a couple of views on each page (different for each one) from a main List This works for most of the pages/views we have. However some have defaulted to Grid View and we can't switch it off How can we get rid of this? we don't want grid view only the link to the Canvas App form to enter information. We've no idea why it's appeared and we can't get rid of it. Does anyone have any idea how we can revert these to the default view. Thanks
Library View of Files Stored in Folders
I have a document library containing several folders, one of which is Job Descriptions. In the Job Descriptions folder, we have a list of all company job descriptions. The job description documents are PDF'd and the naming convention used for the job description is all lower case separated by dashes. We also have a column called DisplayName which shows the file in a more friendly name. For example: executive-assistant-to-the-director.pdf would be the name of the file, but the Display name is Executive Assistant to the Director.pdf. We would like to add a document library webpart to a SharePoint page, have it filter the document library, selecting the Job Description folder. What would be displayed to the page visitors is a list of all the folders and when they select a folder they would see the Display Name, in which they can click and open the PDF. I must be missing something in my View of the document library as if I show the Display Name and not show the Name of the file, then the folder name is reviewed too. Any ideas?
News page banner images issue
Hello all, Starting yesterday (September 24, 2025) when I create a news page, there's a few issues with how SharePoint is managing the banner image: It seems to copy the image instead of directly using the one from the library When I move the focal point, it creates yet another cropped copy of the image (both being automatically added to the Site Assets folder, under a new folder automatically created with the page name) If I save and move the focal point again, it creates yet another image The thumbnail in the news web part and hero web part is extremely zoomed in and blurry, rather than the full image as it used to be. I can no longer focus the image on any part of the original 1920x1080 image, as it crops the image to the banner size and then only allows me to focus there, which is almost completely pointless since its around 1920x300 at that point. I am using a 1920x1080 image. Some screenshots attached: Original 1920x1080 image What it offers when I'm trying to focus the image Does anyone know if this is a setting that somehow got changed, or a bug? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you! EDIT 10/1/2025: The banner image focus is now working as intended. Seems it was a temporary bug.AI- based Post Sorting
I have developed a Post and Comment module inside SPFx. where i have 3 sharepoint list:- Posts Comments Reaction here is the SPFX, with 2 posts and the first post has 2 comments:- Currently the Posts and their Comments will be shown sorted by the created date , here is the method to show the posts:- async getPostsPage(pageSize: number = 10, afterId?: number) { let url = `${this.siteUrl}/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('SocialPosts')/items` + `?$select=Id,Title,Body,Created,Author/Id,Author/Title,LikeCount,CommentCount` + `&$expand=Author&$orderby=Id desc&$top=${pageSize}`; if (afterId) url += `&$filter=Id lt ${afterId}`; const data = await this.getJson<{ value: any[] }>(url); return data.value.map(v => ({ Id: v.Id, Title: v.Title, Body: v.Body, Created: v.Created, AuthorId: v.Author?.Id, AuthorTitle: v.Author?.Title, LikeCount: v.LikeCount || 0, CommentCount: v.CommentCount || 0 })) as import('../Models/Models').Post[]; } and the comments:- // ---------- Comments ---------- async getComments(postId: number): Promise<Comment[]> { const url = this.commentsUrl() + `?$select=Id,Body,Created,Author/Id,Author/Title,LikeCount,Post/Id,PostId` + `&$expand=Author,Post&$filter=PostId eq ${postId}&$orderby=Created asc`; const data = await this.getJson<{ value: any[] }>(url); return data.value.map((v) => ({ Id: v.Id, Body: v.Body, Created: v.Created, AuthorId: v.Author?.Id, AuthorTitle: v.Author?.Title, LikeCount: v.LikeCount || 0, PostId: v.PostId ?? v.Post?.Id, })); } but the client is asking us if there is a way to order the items using AI algorithm so it show the most relevant posts and comments first? which approach i can follow? to allow order items inside SPFx using AI algorithm instead of Created date?? any advice?Only One Site Level Term Group Allowed? ( type: SiteCollectionGroup ) Graph API & GUI Attempted
Put simply, I am unable to find a way to create more than one group in the 'Site level term groups' area within a given site's settings. Either via the GUI or via the Graph API options. If I send a POST to the /termGroups endpoint it just modifies the current, sole, site level group. The Graph API docs do not indicate any limitation, and neither do the SP docs that I've found (here, here, and here) ... just wondering if someone out there knows something obvious that isn't within my current realm of finding.
