Adding Sharepoint site to Adober Acrobat Pro DC
Hi, I'd like us to be able to access company/personal templates directly through Adobe. I have attempted the "Add an account" feature to add a share point site. I'm have a feeling I may be finding the URL the incorrect way, however I do not know much about Share Point online. The company has SharePoint set up via File Explorer and everyone uses it this way and not online (I do have admin access online however). I haven't had any luck finding instructions on how to access the correct place in SP online to get the URL. When I access SP online, it only bring up sites (Teams channels) and nothing else. If I use the search function, I can find the folder that I want adobe to point to. I choose the "more actions" (3 dots) and copy link, however when this is added to adobe the message appears "Invalid URL. Please check the URL and try again" Appreciate any help at all! Thank you
Numbering and bullets in Word docs keep disappearing
When working as a team on Word files within SharePoint, I constantly have problems with things like heading numbering disappearing (or changing from numbers to bullets), bullets going missing or bullets turning into numbers. From what I can see, the custom list styles in the documents go missing. Other formatting things happen, like table column widths messing up. I can fix it all, PDF it, save and close, and when I open the Word doc again it's all gone haywire once more. I was always approaching this from a Word bug perspective, but maybe it's something I'm doing wrong in regard to SharePoint. Essentially, this is my workflow: 1. Create Word template. 2. Create documents from Word template (bid response schedules, one for each). 3. Upload all files to SharePoint. At this point, the template resides on my computer, in my OneDrive folder. As I understand it, this shouldn't be an issue because unless people play around with what template the document is linked to, it shouldn't change. However, often I found that the template had reverted back to "Normal". So, I started saving the template in a location on SharePoint (along with the documents) and making sure it was linked to it. When the document styles go haywire, to fix it all I need to do is link back to the template and update the styles. I have a macro that has the location of the template hard coded, and it links the document to the template, updates the styles, then turns off the checkbox again. (Note: I always make sure the "update styles from template" is kept off). Whether the template is on my computer or on SharePoint, once the styles start messing up they will continue to keep messing up, so putting the template on SharePoint doesn't seem to have fixed it. I'm outlining this process because all the forum posts I've found seem to treat SharePoint more as a space where templates are uploaded and people use the "New" button to create and then save documents straight into SharePoint from Templates that are uploaded into the site library. This is obviously not how we are using it: these Teams sites are created per project, we do our submission and then move on. I'm the only one creating documents and other people contribute to them. Is there something I'm doing fundamentally wrong and that's why these issues happen? If not, has anyone seen this issue and worked out what causes it?
Moving Lists and Power Automates
Hello! I am working on moving things from an old sharepoint site to a new one. Currently - we have a Sharepoint site with a list. This list is made from a Microsoft Form reponses. I need to move this list over to a new sharepoint location - the old one is getting deleted. Is this possible? How do I move the old list with the Power Automate to the new Sharepoint site/create the list with the same aspects.
Each user appears to have their own List Views
In the same list that All users have access to View, and some users have access to Edit, every user has their own available List Views. Even though the Sharepoint Site WebPart was setup to show a specific View, only the user account that created the Views is seeing the selected View, while all other users only seeing the All Items view. Here are the List Views that we built and should be available to all: Here's what all other users are seeing: No additional restrictions have been placed on the List or the Site. This happens within the List directly and via the webpart showing the list on the site. All searches through help forums have come up empty handed in finding why users area getting a different experience when access the same List. Any advice on how to get All Users to be able to see the same Views would be appreciated.SharePoint Online: Collapsible sections on modern pages

Much awaited feature - collapsible sections on #SharePoint modern pages will be released soon Collapsible/expandable sections on modern pages Show sections in an accordion view or as tabs (future release) Roll out begins in early July More details at: SharePoint: Collapsible sections on modern pagesVertical alignment in SharePoint table cells
Is there a way to set vertical alignment in SharePoint modern view table cells? Issue is that when one cell has a lot of text, it expands the row vertically. Then all of the other cells on the row that have brief information are center-aligned vertically. It makes for awkward display and reading. I would like to make a setting to vertically align all text to display at the top of the cell.
SharePoint 2019 SSO Entra with OnPrem AD Account
I maintain a legacy SharePoint 2019 onprem installation. This installation has been around since 2007 and is wholly reliant on local AD accounts for access. We have a Microsoft 365 environment where our onprem AD Users are synced up to Entra. We are in the process of making our onprem applications available through "My Apps" via the Microsoft Application Proxy. My goal is to have a user login to My Apps and seamless login to the SharePoint 2019 environment. I have followed this tutorial to setup the trust, which is working. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/saas-apps/sharepoint-on-premises-tutorial The issue that we are having is that the user being passed is not the onPrem AD user (slhilbert), but instead the Entra user (email address removed for privacy reasons). The Entra user doesn't have any access setup in the SharePoint site, which has 100K unique permissions, is it possible to login with onPrem AD user? Thank You! Stuart
