Imported term sets, and renaming a term set
I created a term set consisting of around 450 entries, by importing from a CSV. I've now been asked to add another 100+ terms to the set. I've just read that we can only import a term set once - that there's no way of re-importing into the existing term set. I'd like to avoid adding the new terms manually! If I create a whole new term set so I can import all 550 terms from scratch, would I have to manually update all the site columns which reference the termset? Or could I rename the two termsets - give the original one a random name, then rename the new one so it has the same name as the original one?
Suddenly can't edit page banner if it's a "color block" style.
Over the past two days all three content creators in the company have had this problem crop up on their systems when attempting to edit any page in our tenant that uses a banner set to the "Color Block" style. When we click edit, the edit page comes up, but most of the banner isn't displayed. We see the bottom half of the banner, and it's not clickable, we can't get the controls to change the image. Note that the scroll bar is at the top - we can't see the whole banner. If we click "Accessibility Issues" on the right, we can see "no alt text" in the banner as a problem. If we click on that, the banner properties will appear and we can change away from the "Color Block" style and things go back to normal. We've tried this in three browsers, three people, rebooted, cleared caches, etc. MSFT, guesses?
Document Properties
Hello, We have a document library of images. We have built columns of Metadata to update on the images under properties. These are all linked to term sets and function well 70% of the time. Lately, the analyst has noticed when updating the properties that they will not always update on the first try. This can happen on either an individual item or when she edits 4 to 5 at once. We have checked to make sure all the properties she is editing are contained within that view. It continues to occur intermittently. The library size is over 6300 items, which I know can cause issues. Is that what is causing this failure to update or is something else awry? Thanks for the help!Out-of-organization profiles and content viewing
Hello, I imagine this is a relatively simple question... I built a SharePoint site for my small nonprofit, primarily for employees who use organization-issued email addresses. I also created a page specifically for our board members, who use personal (external) email accounts. I’ve granted them access to the page and to specific files stored on our organization’s S Drive. While they can access the page and some content (only when I use the Document Library web part and manually insert the file path), most SharePoint web parts don’t function properly for them. It seems that, although they technically have access, SharePoint’s other widgets hit minor permission barriers when trying to pull data—likely due to how Microsoft handles external user access. From what I’ve gathered, the best long-term solution might be to issue board members organization email addresses. One additional note: Instead of granting each board member access individually, I created a Microsoft 365 group for the board and assigned file permissions to that group. I’m wondering if this approach could also be affecting access in some way. Thank you so much!
Not able to create a Gallery View that works
Hello all! I'm trying to create a Gallery View on a Sharepoint list, but when I create it the only thing that I'm able to see is that: If I try to format de view, I'm not even able to see the option Card Designer. Doing the same steps in any other list on the same Sharepoint site works perfectly ok, being able to see the information in a gallery format. I have checked the fields, the settings of the list and everything... and all seems ok. If someone has had the same 'incident' before and has been able to solve it, I would highly appreciate your help. Thanks!
Unable to Create a Rule on a Library with Contribute Permission
Hi the community, I tried to create a rule on a document library where I have Contribute permission. However, when I click on "Create a rule", I get a blank window. Strangely, with the same permission level on a list, it works as expected. Do you know if this is a known limitation? Do you have any workaround to suggest?

For Retention Policy, if I set Retain + Delete, does it delete the original file/copy/both?
Hello, I am learning about Retention Policy for SharePoint Online and wanted to get a confirmation on this option below. Let's say I chose to retain for 10 years based on when it was created AND said Yes to "Do you want us to delete it after this time?" option. After 10 years, does it delete original files, copies that are generated in Preservation Hold Library, or both? This part was a bit confusing for me lolSharePoint list threshold limit
Hi We run an access database connected to SharePoint online lists. One of the lists has 16000 items and I need to add an additional field (type lookup) but when trying to add this get an error saying "the attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold" I can't seem to find a way to increase the 5000 threshold limit to get around this. Is the only option to removed items to get the limit under 5000 to then be able to add a field? (we can't create a new list and copy the data in as the autonumber ID from the existing list is used in the database) Any suggestions would be appreciated!
