Hi all! We are having issues with external users not being able to open a shared doc in the desktop program - they can only edit/view in the browser. The "Open in Xprogram" button isn't even an option anymore! We are sharing with edit privileges and have external sharing turned on for our tenant. We have disabled anonymous links and only use "share with authenticated users" turned on. When we share, we select Specific People, type in the email address and share. The external user has access, they are just not able to open in the desktop application, even if they have it already or already 365 users in their own organization. This suddenly happened for us in August and we can't find a solution. Any ideas?SolvedKaren PiersonMay 16, 2025Copper Contributor97KViews4likes52CommentsHow can I recover a corrupted Sharepoint list?
The user tried to delete a column and suddenly received this error: However, trying to navigate back to the list, the page only shows the title. No columns, no "Add item", no Settings "gear" icon, no Recycle Bin. Is there some way we can retrieve the list? There is no data in the list, it is just the configuration (lookups and rules, etc.) that we need to get back.phammarMay 16, 2025Copper Contributor51Views0likes2CommentsSharePoint to host eLearning
Hi I have a library of learning resources, including videos (mp4), guides (pdf, .docx, .pptx), and html files exported from an eLearning authoring platform. How can I use SharePoint to host these resources and track user activity. I have access to an intranet which I can use to create a user dashboard that sets out all available courses with descriptions etc. but we don't have an LMS for tracking course uptake and completion. If you have any recommended guides, sites, or advice, I'd love to hear it. Many thanks in advance.

I have a specific search term, that includes a special character (&) at the end. When I try to search this on Sharepoint online, it's not picking this up. As an example, I would like to search for all documents including "word&". However, I am only shown results with documents including "word" and not "word&". How do I search, to ensure that it only returns results that contain the special character in this example.n913May 16, 2025Copper Contributor2Views0likes0CommentsMoving or Copying Files: Painfully Slow, Loss of Data
Hello All! Our company transitioned over to SharePoint Online about a year ago. One of the largest complaints I have to date, is the time it takes to move or copy files. In cases of one or two files, the time is minimal. But in cases where larger file moves are taking place - the pace of transfer is painfully slow. For example, today it took approx. 30 mins to transfer only 45.8 MB. Earlier this month, an employee spent the entire day waiting for files to transfer, only for her computer to stop responding, and have to re-start the entire process the next day. On our previous server based environment, the same transfer would take less than 30 minutes. Additionally, in some of these larger file moves, users have reported large losses of data. The files were moved, and confirmed, only to come in the next day and they have disappeared. This issue is decreasing adoption and causing our IT team multiple headaches. Any suggestions or helpful feedback?SolvedHillary BarterMay 16, 2025Copper Contributor122KViews3likes56CommentsReport on Sharing links for "People in your organization"
Hi, I'm needing to be able to get a list of active sharing links with "People in your organization", as the permission from within our 365 Sharepoint instance. All advice I can find points to variations of the Report you can get in the Sharepoint Admin centre under "Reports>Data Access Governance>Sharing Links". Which has a report to show all "People in your organization links" created in the last 30 days. My trouble is I don't need a recent activity list. I need a list of all currently active links. I need ALL links ever created, excluding not those that have already been removed or expired. It would seem that apart from creation activity, there should be a means of searching existing links but I can't find anything anywhere. Any help in find this would be enormously appreciated,klassenkbrandonuMay 15, 2025Copper Contributor5.9KViews2likes8Commentsself-training site in SharePoint
I feel I did my due diligence in searching for an answer but nothing lined up with what I think I would like. I would like to set up a self-paced training site where we have links to documents or slide decks. That part is easy enough. I would like to have a 'button' (or some mechanism) for users to notify the training coordinator that they have read the material. This doesn't need to be initiated through a task (i.e., in a List), it could be just because someone wants to train. (It could be directed by the training coordinator but just an email to them to go to the site and review the material should suffice.) Ideally, the email (or other means of notification) just captures the material reviewed, the trainee's name, and the date training was completed. I thought Forms might do it (and it may), but I couldn't put it all together. I've done some Flows before so I'm somewhat comfortable in that space (if that's the best approach), but, again, I couldn't fit the puzzle pieces together. Any guidance would be appreciated.DonHMay 15, 2025Copper Contributor19Views0likes0CommentsSharepoint Webseite - Webart Filter "Titel enthält die Wörter"
Hallo zusammen, ich habe folgende Herausforderung bei der Erstellung einer Kommunikation Webseite, bei dem Webart "Hervorgehobener Inhalt" einen Filter eingestellt zu bekommen. Ich möchte nach dem Titel nur bestimmte Excel Dateien anzeigen lassen, welche ich nach bestimmten Wörtern filtere. Sobald ich aber ein Wort oder eine Zahl aus dem Titel in dem Suchfilter eintrage, wird keine Datei mehr angezeigt. Ich hoffe, ihr könnt mein Problem nachvollziehen und habt vielleicht eine Lösung für mich. Danke schon einmal im voraus Steven und so ist das Ergebnis, wenn ich einen Suchbegriff eintrageSteven_1977May 15, 2025Copper Contributor7Views0likes0Comments
