How to create a glossary page in Microsoft Lists [SharePoint]
The new Glossary View in Microsoft Lists comes directly from the community, and Federico Sapia is its author (Thanks for sharing). This view is absolutely easy to implement requires a list with 4 starting columns. In a few clicks you can have a view that allows you to explore and navigate the elements of a list by taking advantage of the letters of the alphabet in the header making it even easier to filter and group. #Teams #SharePoint #Microsoft365 #MPVbuzz #MicrosoftLists #Lists
SharePoint Online Subsite Feature - Is it going to deprecate
Hi Team, When will MS deprecate subsite feature from SPO? and what will happen to the existing subsites if deprecated? Also, could you please share SPO roadmap for subsite. Note that we are aware of flat structure and its recommendation from MS. Thanks & Regards, Shanthi.
Nested formula not working
I have been using the below formula in a SharePoint Column, to find the most recent year column that 'comprehensive' is mentioned and have that year value returned to the calculated column - it is suddenly not working - or if I reset it, it works for less than a minute and then converts to only one year '2024'. If I reduce the number of years/columns in the formula to only two it works properly and the results stay. Any ideas what the problem is? =IF(NOT(ISERROR(FIND("comprehensive",[2024]))),"2024",IF(NOT(ISERROR(FIND("comprehensive",[2023]))),"2023",IF(NOT(ISERROR(FIND("comprehensive",[2022]))),"2022",IF(NOT(ISERROR(FIND("comprehensive",[2021]))),"2021","No Review")))) Thanks in advance and I am not an expert in anything IT but I am trying to use this to track work in my team. Cheers Karen
Documents uploading to Sharepoint althoughI didn't set it up
Yesterday I began receiving email updates telling me that the Word documents I was working on have been uploaded to Sharepoint. This happens every time I insert a comment into the file. This only began to happen yesterday. I have never used Sharepoint, and only learned about the "Share" option when I searched Help to find ways to turn it off. I didn't turn it on deliberately. So I googled for instructions on how to stop this, and none of the instructions I found matched what I saw when I tried to turn it off in either the document or FIle Explorer. I just went into Word and clicked Help to identify the version I'm using, but they removed "About Word" from the Help menu, so the version isn't where it belongs anymore. I don't know where they put it, and it might not matter anyway. It's probably the latest version, in fact, this might have happened with a recent upgrade, I don't know. If my documents upload to Sharepoint, they're private, right? I'm a writer and I don't want my stuff going out there without me controlling things. Where does Sharepoint keep my files? I no longer have access to OneDrive because I was shut out one day when when my internet carrier switched my signal to another city, and I clicked "No" when Microsoft asked me if I was the one signing in from that city. They immediately locked me out of everything. I can't even get codes by text anymore. I got Outlook and microsoft.com back by signing in with my thumbprint on my phone, but it didn't help me with OneDrive, and I couldn't get support, so I've been unable to access it for months. If Sharepoint is happening on OneDrive, I might be in trouble. How do I stop uploading files to Sharepoint, and stop these annoying emails whenever I add a comment to a file? Thanks!
Making Home Page a Template to Be Used Across Sites
Our team is looking for help with reusing a customized SharePoint page. I created a home page on a SharePoint Teams site (not a Communication site) and would like to save it as a template so we can apply it to other sites across the tenant. The page includes layout sections and various web parts, and ideally we want to replicate the same setup on other SharePoint sites. What’s the best and supported way to export or save this page as a reusable template and apply it to other modern SharePoint sites? We are open to using PnP PowerShell or other supported tools, but we’ve run into authentication issues when trying to connect via app registration. Would appreciate step-by-step guidance or a recommended approach. Thank you!
Issue with Moving Data Between SharePoint Sites Using Synced Document Libraries
Hi everyone, I work at an MSP IT company, and over the past 14 days, I’ve encountered the same issue with two different users from separate customers. Both users have synchronized document libraries on their local machines. Here’s what happens: When they cut a large set of files from one SharePoint site to another, the data doesn’t seem to move correctly. On the user’s computer, everything looks fine, but when I check online, the files are still in the original location. If I then cut the data from the new location to a temporary folder (e.g., C:\#temp), the files disappear from the old location both locally and online. After that, if I move the data back into the new location, it synchronizes perfectly. Has anyone experienced this behavior before or can explain if the users are doing something wrong? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! :) Best regards, Michael Boye
Property Demotion leads to infinite import cycles when integrating with SharePoint
Hi, we have built an integration with SharePoint that imports watches and imports files from connected SharePoint sites into our product for further processing. After that process is complete, we push some of the processing results back to a SharePoint list as metadata. In order to keep the extracted data up to date, even when file content changes after the initial upload/import, we subscribe to changes in the SharePoint site and re-import the file if its hash has changed since the last import. This process worked really well until we started processing some of the Microsoft file types (e.g. .docx, .msg, etc.). Apparently SharePoint Online will include metadata from list columns into these files in a process called "Property Demotion". Since this changes the file content, it triggers a re-import of the file. Due to the non-deterministic (AI-generated) nature of some of the metadata we extract, this re-import will likely result in different metadata values that are exported back to SharePoint - which of course triggers property demotion again, leading to an infinite cycle. What we have tried so far: Disable property demotion -> Not possible in SharePoint online as far as we know. Only export metadata if anything actually changed -> Only solves the issue if metadata is stable w.r.t. document content, which does not hold for our use-case. Skip re-imports occurring X minutes after the last metadata export -> While this works most of the time, it is fragile (what if the property demotion is delayed?) and worsens user-experience (what if a user edits the file within the X minute window?) Has anyone encountered the same issue before? How did you end up handling it? Thanks, JohannesNot able to recreate Teams Sharepoint site after perm deleting.
I'm trying to rename a Sharepoint site to a site that I permananetly deleted but I keep getting Write-Locked. {"odata.error":{"code":"-105","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"This site address can't be changed.\r\nThis | site is write | locked.\r\n"},"MultiGeoService.ExceptionType":"MultiGeoServiceException","MultiGeoService.ExceptionContext":"{\"Errors\":[{\"ErrorCode\":-105,\"ErrorMessage\":\"This site is write locked.\"}],\"Warnings\":[]}"}} I'm using this command to rename the site Rename-PnPTenantSite -Identity $teamsURL -NewSiteUrl $updatedteamsUrl -Wait
Sharepoint Online Templates / Provisioning.
Hello everyone, I have a SharePoint online site that is as close as possible to being a template for my tenant. I'd like to save this site and make it available to me when I need to create a standard site for my tenant. Do you know if there is a possibility to save it and then pick it in the SharePoint list of templates in the creation phase in SharePoint? I know there is a PnP solution; however, after trying it I've had some bad results when trying to use a script with Get-PnPSiteTemplate many times it doesn't replicate the site correctly. I essentially need to take one SharePoint site, and just replicate the structure, DLs, Lists, Views, pages, designs, colours and thumbnails, no files needed. Possibly saving it as a template, but if not possible, just provision it via PnP PowerShell would be enough. Do you have any suggestions or scripts to recommend, or can you point me to any resources?
