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?
JSON Formatting - to Open a Preview of a older version.
Hi I have in some of my libraries a column with a formatted button(its a url type) that clicking it will open a Browser "Preview view" of the office document. "href": "=@currentWeb +'/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=' + [$UniqueId] + '&action=embedview'" Hi have also this code which opens the most current published version of a document (and not a draft)- however this opens it within word in view mode, using this code "href": "=if([$_UIVersion] % 512 == 0, [$FileRef], @currentWeb + '/_vti_history/' + 512*floor([$_UIVersion]/512) + substring([$FileRef], indexOf(@currentWeb+'^','^')-indexOf(@currentWeb,'.sharepoint.com')-15, indexOf([$FileRef]+'^','^')))" Is it possible to somehow merge these two bits of code so that I can get it to open the published versions in the browser preview mode?I can't publish content types with template from HUB anymore
We have a Content type HUB for our content types. There is 1 parent and many child content types. The template library is listed on the same HUB site. The templates are used in the content types. The existing URL is: /sites/contentTypeHub/Templates/[Name of the template].docx. Everything worked fine until I try to publish an update on 22 may 2025. The error: The operation failed on one or more Metadata web service application proxies: Taxonomy_HrstGnW7grNsmI2m437TvQ==. Please contact your administrator and check the log files for more error details. Content type publishing list error: If I try to publish the content type in 'classic SharePoint' I get an access request page. If I fill in this form, I get the acces request myself, because I am site owner. Accept this access request does not help to solve the problem. Detailed information: Publication with template = Error, access denied. Without template, I am able to publish the content type. (But we need the template) Use of managed metadata field: We use 4 term store sets. Permissions: I'm site collection admin and site owner of the HUB site. I'm Admin on the term store admin center. I'm site collection owner of the sites where the content types are published. I have full control on the HUB site and all libraries including the template library. Last successfully published date: 12 may 2025 (With template) Note: The templates are stored in the template library on the HUB site. They required version history. That's why we don't use the 'upload a template function'. But the function 'use an existing template'. Does anyone have any idea to solve this?NEW SharePoint FAQ Web Part with Copilot – Everything You Need to Know

I have a user that claims that the situation has changed when overwriting a pdf file in a library. The situation is the following: A library with pdf files and custom managed meta data properties on a file. When overwriting the existing file the user expect that the new file adopts the managed meta data values from the old file. My own brain processes this as that not possible because you overwrite a existing file with no managed meta data. But i could be wrong. What do the SharePoint pro's think?
Create a SharePoint list with documents from multiple libraries
Hi there, I have a set of 7-8 documents libraries containing documents that need to be updated regularly by various subject matter experts (SMEs) in my organisation. These individuals are listed in the metadata of each document in a 'person or group' column. It's important that we keep the data in this format as we use Microsoft approvals set up to manage the reviews. Another key consideration is that the person listed change fairly regularly as people leave the firm and roles and responsibilities change. What I would like to do is create a SharePoint list that lists each document across the libraries and which people are assigned as the reviewers. Can anyone help me with this? I understand that the lookup column doesn't support the 'people or group' data type. I have seen suggestions for setting up dynamic filtering but this might be a bit cumbersome given the number of document libraries. I could potentially use a Power Automate workflow but am not very literate in this platform so would need pretty detailed instructions. Any help would be much appreciated!
Upload Documents ANd Require check out on Modern Vs Classic Experience Document libraries
Recently switched SharePoint Online site libraries from Classic to Modern. Getting following experience. Classic Behaviour: when we drag and drop new versions (same name) of existing library items, SharePoint automatically checks out the existing items > we update metadata > check in Modern Behaviour: when we drag and drop new versions (same name) of existing library items, SharePoint requires that we first manually check out existing library items of same name before we can drag and drop the new versions into library > drag and drop new versions > update metadata > check in This is very frustating for our document controllers as they upload hundred of documents daily. Any workaround or configuration?
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? Thanks in advance.
