Still have files modified before more than 2 days inside "PreservationHoldLibrary"
I have defined this Retention Policy for a SharePoint site, to delete files after 2 days:- Now after 1 week, a new library named "PreservationHoldLibrary" was created inside the site, for example when i delete a file , it will be moved to the Recycle Bin + to the "PreservationHoldLibrary" library. but i have noted that inside the Recycle Bin +inside "PreservationHoldLibrary" there are files modified before more than 2 days.. so what is the reason?, i thought since the retention policy will delete files modified before 2 days, then all those files should get removed,, here is the recycle bin for 15 March:- and the "PreservationHoldLibrary" ,library for 15 March:- and the Documents library has files modified on 11 March:- any advice what is wrong with our retention policy? we want to remove any file modified before more than 2 days?johnjohn-PeterMar 16, 2025Iron Contributor77Views1like2CommentsSharePoint: Intranet for Communication
Hello! We use SharePoint Online as our company intranet, and not currently using Microsoft Teams. When it comes to communications, we rely on employees to visit our intranet homepage for the latest news and updates across the organization. I know not all employees use/visit the intranet on a daily basis. Our collaboration sites are currently only on the on prem version of SharePoint. Is anyone else in a similar situation. And if so, how do you handle effective communication?SolvedJovana_RodriguezMar 16, 2025Copper Contributor96Views1like3CommentsSharePoint List Titles not showing

Bonjour, Je vous contacte car j'ai créé une liste Microsoft (liste SharePoint) et j'aimerais désactiver complètement les notifications par e-mail pour toute ma liste. En effet, chaque fois que j'attribue une tâche à quelqu'un ou que je fais un commentaire en le taguant, il reçoit un e-mail. Comment puis-je procéder ? Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

Our PowerAutomate workflow has broken due to an error that reads: Column '_ip_UnifiedCompliancePolicyUIAct' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user. This is not a column that has ever existed, to my knowledge. The action in this workflow is copying a folder from one site to another. I've created a new flow that just copies the folder and I'm getting the same error. When I try to manually copy the folder in SharePoint I get an error that "something went wrong". In both cases, the folder does copy to the destination. It's just that the flow is failing. I've created the column _ip_UnifiedCompliancePolicyUIAct in both the source and desitnation folder and this appears to resolve the issue. No data is found in the column.Anthony-123Mar 13, 2025Iron Contributor790Views2likes4CommentsCustom link to a teams chat with a person (Call to action or button)
Hi everyone, I want to have a button on SharePoint or a call to action which directs someone to a team chat with me.

I have this question for our SharePoint sites which we are currently creating. Currently we need to create sites for our departments (10++), will take Commercial & HR as an example :- 1) HR 2) Commercial Now inside the 2 sites we need to have a field named "Document Type" of type managed metadata to tag documents inside the documents libraries that got uploaded inside the 2 sites. Now the issue is that the HR has different options compared to the Commercial site for the Document type field (some options might be the same such as the "Other" option) . so i am planning to follow this approach:- 1) Inside the HR site to create a managed metadata column with internal name = "DocumentType", and link it to this term set named "HR Document Type":- 2) Inside the Commercial site to create a managed metadata column with the same internal name = "DocumentType", and link it to this term set named "Commercial Document Type":- now this will work on paper for tagging documents with different options for each site. but we need to have an advance search page to allow to filter the documents from the 2 sites using the Document Type, for this i will use the PnP Modern Search web part, which depend on the search managed metadata & the search Refinables. So now i got one managed metadata for the DocumentType columns:- and i linked it to a RefillableString as follow:- then i am planning to configure the PnP modern search web part to filter the documents from all the sites based on the above refinable. but i have the following 2 main questions, if anyone can help me in making decision on them:- Question-1) is the approach of having 2 site columns with the same internal name inside the 2 sites, but linked to 2 different term sets, with the intention to be able to filter documents from the 2 sites using the same Refinable, a valid approach? Question-2) now for the Document Type inside the Term Store, we can create 2 separate term sets; "HR Document Type" term set & "Commercial Document Type" term set as shown above , as follow:- OR we can have one parent term set named "Document Type", and under it to create 2 sub terms (HR & Commercial), as follow, and link the site columns to the sub-terms instead of a term set:- so which approach we should use ? 2 term sets? or one term set with 2 sub terms? and why? Can anyone advice on the above 2 questions? Thanks and i really appreciate any help in advance60Views0likes3CommentsSearch not returning results
I have been experiencing issues with the search where it was working well until a couple months ago. Using SharePoint Online I have a document library with a lot of folders and misc other things in each folder. Staff search the library by the name of the folder in the root directory which is the account number. Lately most of the time it will return zero results and I cannot identify the issue, some users it works others it doesn't. I have checked permissions, identical (Owners) Search enabled on library Versioning is on but set to major versions only Site Settings > Search and Offline Availability > Indexing Site Content = Yes I am wondering if there is any sort of setting or something that I am missing... Any help is greatly appreciated. 🙂BahalzamonMar 13, 2025Brass Contributor16KViews1like11CommentsOpening 3D-PDF / HTML files directly from Sharepoint/Teams
Hey y'all I've been trying to make it possible for me and my team to store our 3D-models in Sharepoint using either 3D-PDF or HTML files. Unfortunately i cant get it to work properly. We use Windows PCs and Android tablets. The html files get stuck in a loading loop (Solidworks html export using eDrawings, similar to the corresponding app/software). Opening them from Sharepoint or via Teams and using the "Open in App"-button in the top right corner circumvents this and makes it work, but it only works on the Windows PCs. On the Android tablets i can click the button but nothing happens. The 3D PDF files dont work at all using the Sharepoint/Teams PDF viewer. Yes, we could use the eDrawings Viewer but in order to do it we have to download the files from sharepoint, which kinda ruins the point of having a cloud solution. Is there any way to get Sharepoint to display the 3D html files properly?KOBERMar 13, 2025Copper Contributor20Views0likes0Comments
