Sharepoint List and Exporting Specific Selected Items to CSV file
Hi is there any way to export only the selected items in a sharepoint list to a CSV file. I see if you don't select any items you export the whole list to a csv file for my application and customers I want to be able to select list items and export only the selected list items to a csv file. Thanks, Sharepoint Noob. No export available after selecting items from the list.
Ignoring 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.
SharePoint search results showing for those without permission to the documents
We have documents in a restricted SharePoint library that are appearing in searches (at both the site and organization level) for users who do not have access to the library. The users aren't able to actually open the documents, but seeing the titles and even a brief blurb in the search results is enough of a security breach for us. I reached out to M365 Support and they advised going to Library settings > Advanced settings > Search and toggling the 'No' option for the restricted document library. However, this restricts the documents in the restricted library from being searchable entirely, even those who should have access, which is obviously not ideal. Does anyone know if this is normal behaviour, or how to troubleshoot?
Handelbars expession for PnP Search Result Webpart
Hi everybody, I am completely new to Handlebars and trying to change PnP Search Results Webpart, so it opens Office files always in Desktop Apps. Changing the default Sharepoint option for opening office files has no impact on PnP Search Result Webpart. Through editing handlebars expressions in the PnP Webpart it is possible to force office files to open in Desktop Apps. With an if-Statement I need to define the desktop app matching for the FileTypes. Could someone help with editing my code? I have no idea about handlebars syntax and how to setup the code in the right way. Can I Register a Handlebars-Helper right inside the code (see below) or should this Helper be defined somewhere else? Where? Handlebars.registerHelper('eq', function (arg1, arg2) { return arg1 === arg2; }); {{#if (eq(slot item root.slots.FileType) "docx")}} <a onclick="window.open('ms-word:nft|u|{{slot item root.slots.PreviewUrl}}');" href="javascript:void(0);">{{Title}}</a> {{/if}} {{#if (eq(slot item root.slots.FileType) "xlsx")}} <a onclick="window.open('ms-excel:nft|u|{{slot item root.slots.PreviewUrl}}');" href="javascript:void(0);">{{Title}}</a> {{/if}}
Contribute without download & Read-Only without download
We have a modern SharePoint Online site collection, of type communication site. And we need to have 2 custom permission levels:- Read-Only without download Contribute without download So i follow those steps:- I copied the Built-in Contribute permission level, then i uncheck those 2 check-boxes:- I copied the Built-in Read permission level, then i uncheck those 2 check-boxes:- Then i created 3 folders, as follow:- Contribute folder >> Assign it the built-in Contribute permission level Contribute without Download >> Assign it the custom permission level Contribute without download Read without Download >> Assign it the custom permission level Read without download I have noted that this work as per my test. For the first folder "Contribute", the user can edit the files using the browser, open them inside app and download them, as follow:- For the second folder "Contribute without download", the user can edit the files using the browser ONLY, can NOT open them inside app and can NOT download them, as follow:- For the third folder "Read without download", same as "Contribute without download" but users can view the file on the browser and can not edit them... so my question, if i am doing things correctly? to have a custom permission level to allow users to contribute to files using the browser-only without the ability to download? and to allow users to view files using the browser-only without the ability to download? Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions. and if there is a more robust approach?SharePoint: Microsoft Lists - Conditional branching in Microsoft Lists forms
According to theMicrosoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365: SharePoint: Microsoft Lists - Conditional branching in Microsoft Lists forms Microsoft Lists forms will enable users to create dynamic forms featuring branching and conditional logic. This update allows users to customize their forms to display relevant questions based on conditions applied to previous responses, empowering them to design smarter forms that adapt to their data collection needs. Feature ID: 410771 Added to roadmap: 8/9/2024Last modified: 8/9/2024Product(s): SharePointCloud instance(s): Worldwide (Standard Multi-Tenant), GCC High, DoD, GCCPlatform(s): WebRelease phase(s): General Availability Rollout Start: November 2024 This feature is supposed to be rolled out in November 2024, which has not happened. Can you by chance point me to any news or updates for this feature actually rolling out? As of right now, the roadmap has not been updated since it looks like the feature is still in Dev phase and not in the Rollout yet. I have checked Lists every day to see if it is working yet but is not. Does anyone have an update on this feature rollout? Thanks for any help you can provide! Janeann
New Co-Authoring Feature REMOVES Discard Changes
This post is more of an information for SharePoint users since Microsoft haven't announced the removal of Discard changes for pages / news posts as part of their co-authoring feature. This is a major regression and will cause a lot of pain to most of Microsoft's customers. Microsoft have said that they are replacing Discard changes (as it's no longer required anymore - REALLY) with Undo and version history. The Undo button doesn't discard changes to a page. You can undo your changes, but the page will still be saved as a new version regardless. I've testing in my test tenant where the new co-authoring feature has been rolled out and I can NOT discard changes anymore. Scenario (and an extremely common one) We have flows (reviews, approvals, etc.) that run when a Page (Standard Page or News Article) is published. Now, if I go into a published page to check on some of the page layout and make some temporary changes (VERY frequent that this happens across all of our authors), it will save a version with my changes, and I am now forced to restore the previous version to remove my changes, which will inadvertently move the page back into Draft mode and need to be republished.Republishing it again will kick off another flow, and the page will now be published by the user that temporarily updated the page, and on the current date/time. We absolutely need our pages and news articles tokeep the actual date they were publishedand displaywho originally published them(these are displayed on the page) and not kick off additional review/approval flows. It will also affect our version history which we rely on for auditing purposes. Before, I could go in and help someone with their page and discard my changes, or our authors could just play around with the design of the page and not have any intention of keeping their changes. Now, those users will end up in the version history when they didn't actually have any intent on keeping their temporarily changes. Love to get your thoughts on this regression. Especially since Microsoft seem to think it's not important, and have not posted any communications (general, M365 service announcements, etc.) about the removal of Discard changes.How 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?Reusable Modern Web Parts (shared between pages)
I feel there's a necessary component missing from SharePoint's modern layout: Reusable/Shared web parts. Maybe there's another approach (driven by lists?) that I'm not fully thinking through. Desire: A Quick Links (or similar) section on multiple pages. When I update it once, I'd like it to update for all.
