Export or compile wiki pages into a PDF or Word
Hi, I am looking to start using SPO wiki as our document management solution. This means that articles will now take form of a wiki page. Often we create configuration guides (to be used internally) (similarly to Confluence). I was planning to suggest the use of wiki for this same effect. The key dependency there is that we need: the ability of creating different level of sub-pages; the ability to export a document (which can be collection of wiki pages at different levels) into a pdf or word Can this be achieved in Sharepoint Wiki and if yes how?

Hello SharePoint Community, I've recently been working more with SharePoint lists, but I've hit a roadblock and could use some guidance. What I'm Trying to Achieve I need to create a structure where: Users can create new projects for the company. Each project can have multiple initiatives associated with it. The Challenge Since users manually input data, I can't rely solely on field values to establish links between projects and initiatives. Instead, I need an automatically generated unique ID in SharePoint to connect the lists. (I think this already happens, but I don't know how to use it properly) The Ideal Setup When a user creates a new project, SharePoint should generate a unique ID. There should be a button to add initiatives to the project, ensuring they are correctly linked. Possible Solutions? Is there a way to achieve this natively in SharePoint, perhaps using lookup columns, calculated fields, or even Power Automate? Would Power Apps be a better approach to provide a user-friendly interface for registering projects and their related initiatives? What are the best practices to ensure data consistency and prevent duplication? I’d really appreciate insights from anyone who has tackled a similar scenario. Thanks in advance for your help!vfariaFeb 17, 2025Copper Contributor61Views0likes6CommentsHow we can handle sub-departments when using document sets
We want to implement a document set to store our departments documents, currently we need to start with those departments and sub-departments:- IT (Development sub-department + Project management sub-department) Marketing (Customer sub-department + Internal sub-department) Finance (Private sub-department + Public sub-department) PMO (Private sub-department + Public management sub-department) so now i am planning to create 4 document sets:- IT Marketing Finance PMO and 4 content types which have built-in documents content type as its parent:- IT Document Marketing Document Fiance Document PMO Document and define those custom content types inside the related document set content type based on the related department. so for example the IT Document content type will be defined inside the IT document set as so on.. but what i am not sure about is how we can implement the sub-departments? should they be completely separate document sets? or we can define sub-document sets to be defined inside another parent document set? any advice?

For more than a few days now when clicking on the [+ Add New Item] button it does nothing. Looking at the Console I see it producing the error shown below. I've tried incognito mode with no help on Edge and Chrome on Win 11pro... 5 other users on different machines are experiencing the same thing. Anyone else experiencing this or know if this is a known issue being worked on? Thanks!PGOFeb 15, 2025Copper Contributor129Views4likes9Commentsname of user/group-field is displayed incorrectly: i:0=.f|membership|email address removed for privacy reasons
Hello everyone, on Lists formular, the user/group field is displayed as "i:0=.f|membership|email address removed for privacy reasons" instead of the username. What am I doing wrong or how can I change it? Thanks in advance. Greetings PebSolvedPeB2071Feb 15, 2025Copper Contributor2.3KViews0likes5CommentsAdding a clickable button to A sharepoint list to update a Yes/No Field
I am currently creating a list which users are assigned policies to read. I am struggling to find any way to make the list friendly for the users to mark as reading a policy. When a policy is assigned to them, a list item is created with a Yes/No column set to No. I am looking for a way which they can click a button, and the button will change the value of that specific column in that specific row to Yes. I've seen some mentions to JSON actions, but I have never used JSON, so I am in the dark of any possible way to resolve this issue. Ideally I don't want to use a flow, but if a button can click a flow and dynamically pull the Row and Column information, I am open to building that. Any help will be appreciated.Ewalsh5Feb 15, 2025Copper Contributor24KViews0likes6CommentsSet Unique value based on the (CreatedDate & CreatedBy)
We want to create a SharePoint online custom list with these business logic:- Users enter an entry each day to specify their location (which site they are working in).. No one can see other entries, except for an admin group of users. No one can submit twice per day, in other words, the list should enforce a uniqueness based on the CreatedDate + CreatedBy. So I am planning to follow this approach:- First step, is to create a custom list, then check these checkboxes:- Second Step:- then create a SharePoint group , named "View/Edit all items", and create a custom permission level which is a copy of the built-in contribute, with this checkbox checked:- so based on my knowledge, this should cover part of the requirements, for allowing users to only see and edit their own items + allow a group of users who are assigned the new custom permission level to view/edit all items. But what abut preventing the same user from adding 2 entries inside the custom list twice on the same day? i know that using remote event receivers which runs on pre-add and pre-update events are no longer valid and no longer a future proof approach.. so the only option i can think of, is to have a power automate flow that runs when an item is created >> where the flow will get any item which was created on the same day and by the same user (of course excluding the current item), if so to send an email to the user that he added duplicate items + to force deleting the item.. but this will not be a 100% enforce uniqueness but rather a way to inform the user about a duplicate.. so is there a better approach to enforce uniqueness in our case, using calculated columns in a way or another? Also using power automate, i am not sure if this will cover a scenario such as where the flow detect a duplicate >> delete the item >> but then the user restore the item from the recycle bin?

Hi, Is it possible to restrict specific user accounts from being able to add comment on pages?Solvedb_oconnorFeb 14, 2025Copper Contributor3.6KViews0likes5CommentsSharepoint central IT management best practices
Hi, At my company, we would like to use our corporate SPO infra more and more to diminish our local storage needs and foster collaboration but the problem is that we are having a huge sprawl and we don't have any control of what is being published like confidential stuff, documents with personal data in them, DBs etc. Is there a paper with Central IT SPO management best practices that can help us controlling/avoiding this type of situations?
