How to enable external sharing
Hi all, I need to activate external sharing option (Share to anyone with the link) for my organization. I've activated the External Sharing in SharePoint admin center > Policies > Sharing and also change the External file sharing for the SP sites to Anyone, but it still doesn't work. Is my configuration correct? Did I miss anything? Appreciate your help.haianhcaoJan 16, 2025Occasional Reader12Views0likes2CommentsHow to save data from a MS Form which includes branching to a List
I have an MS form that has branching on one question. There are 4 reviews, the user selects which review they are conducting and the MS form then goes to the relevant questions for the review that was selected. Can I have 4 different lists for the data to go to e.g. if users selects Review 1 the data is sent to a list called Review 1, If they select Review 2 the data goes to a list called Review 2 and so on. I know how to get data to lists but I have never done it based on branching within a form. What I want to achieve is when the form is submitted I can then create a PDF automatically (which I know how to do) with only the questions and answers from the selected Review. If you have a better solution then i am open to ideas. I will be using Power Automate. Hopefully this makes sense?NeilersJan 16, 2025Copper Contributor13Views0likes1CommentImport excel into existing list (with data already in it)
Hi, Is it possible to import data from an excel sheet into a SharePoint list that already contains data in it? Basically I just want to add to the list that's already in SharePoint without overwriting the existing lines or having to create a new list each time. Thanks!SolvedRRMX01Jan 16, 2025Copper Contributor577KViews1like52CommentsSharePoint list with "Multiple lines of text" column not displaying entries
Hello All, Our lists that utilize "Multiple line of text" type are not displaying entries and come up blank. Example column definition: Symptom: Expecting "Line 1" and "Line 2" in View Entries. I've opened a support request with Microsoft. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? Any workarounds or fixes? Thanks all! NormSolved11KViews0likes6CommentsIgnoring file extensions
Good day. I would like to know if there is a way to ignore specific file types using the OneDrive/SharePoint sync. I want to note that this is NOT preventing certain file types. I want to ignore them entirely. This is from specific lock files from "proprietary" file extensions. As an example, .idlk, from Adobe InDesign. I know that Adobe has their own cloud sync platform, but we don't want to use it as we want to keep our files consolidated as much as possible. The reason I ask for an 'ignore' option is because if we attempt to block the sync, it creates a sync error instead, making people panic. Is this remotely possible? Making changes with PowerShell is completely do-able and may be preferred if this is the method to use.Zyros_InfinitoJan 16, 2025Occasional Reader10Views0likes1CommentMoving a folder from Site Pages
Hi everyone, A staff member has accidentally moved a folder containing many files into the Site Pages section, and we’re unable to find a way to relocate it to another location besides Site Pages without manually saving each file individually, which is very time-consuming. My question is: is there an easy way to move this folder and its files to another location, such as a document library? Thank you for your help!AB21805Jan 16, 2025Bronze Contributor21Views0likes2CommentsHide 'who has list opened'
I just noticed that inside a SharePoint list you now see which other users hav e opened it. However, you also see this when you are a user with 'read' permissions and no permissions to browser user details. In terms of privacy this is absolutely not what we want. We have multiple clients working in the same list (they can't see each other's records) but we really do not want them to see each other. How can I hide this information as soon as possible?Toine1997Jan 16, 2025Copper Contributor29Views0likes1CommentCompare pages as readonly user
Is it possible to give readonly users the possibility to compare pages as admin can do? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/compare-page-versions-in-sharepoint-de7ba69d-257d-4201-b787-d5ea89fb2f08#articleFooterSupportBridge=communityBridgemtengmoJan 16, 2025Copper Contributor5Views0likes1CommentCopy Column name and setting from one SharePoint List to another SharePoint List
Hi All, I have multiple SharePoint sites with the same List Name on them all, I have added several columns to one of the Lists and want to be able to copy the name and settings to all the other Lists. These Columns are "Calculated (calculation based on other columns)". Is there a way using PowerShell or Power Automate or any other method of doing this except for manually creating and copying the settings?

I’m encountering an issue when trying to create pages in subsites on SharePoint Online. The root site is a publishing site and contains several subsites. When attempting to create a new page in the subsites, I get the following error:"Invalid Field Name. {9da97a8a-1da5-4a77-98d3-4bc10456e700}", and the page is not created. Interestingly, there are no issues creating pages on the root site, where the error does not occur. After investigating, I found that the GUID mentioned in the error seems to correspond to the "ID" field of the page library on the root site. Has anyone experienced this type of issue or knows how to resolve it? Any help is greatly appreciated!cadufsJan 16, 2025Copper Contributor31Views0likes4Comments
