Consolidation of two Sharepoint servers
Looking to see if anyone has done this? (Web/App server) I realize it's not a recommended scenario but this is a licensing/compliance issue.. Would like to migrate all services to one server, they're currently split over two, plus a SQL backend.helpdesk nullFeb 10, 2025Copper Contributor1.2KViews0likes2CommentsSharepoint comment permissions by users
Hi, Is it possible to restrict specific user accounts from being able to add comment on pages?Solvedb_oconnorFeb 10, 2025Copper Contributor3.6KViews0likes4CommentsSharePoint List - Select from a Choice Field and Display an Image
I am attempting to set a column in a Project Tracker List to allow three choices, Red, Amber and Green. Depending on which status the user selects, I am trying to display an image, either a red circle (image1.jpg), an amber circle (image2.jpg) or a green circle (image3.jpg). I am not certain how to have a Choice column return an image. Thanks, JohnSolvedjohncrouse62Feb 10, 2025Copper Contributor699Views0likes3CommentsExclude OneDrive folder from SharePoint Online search
Hello I have tried the following to exclude from Search a folder with the name "TEST" in my OneDrive root, as specific User have access to that folder by using a flow only they can see the created documents in search results. I need to hide that documents and I am deleting that documents after an Email is send from that flow, but its essential that nobody can find the documents over the search in SharePoint. So I have excludes the path to the folder by using the following steps: (1) Went to site settings of my OneDrive (2) Clicked on "Result Sources" and was setting up a "New Result Source" (3) Created the following query with the QUERY BUILDER: path:"https://xxxxxxxxxxxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/UserName_company_de/Documents/TEST" -ContentTypeId:0x0120* (4) Test was showing NOT that folder (5) Checked if the folder was showing up without CONTAINS NOT by using the same query without "-" "ContentTypeId:0x0120*" and it was working, folder was showing up as only result. (6) Set that "Result Source" as DEFAULT. After that I tried to search in OneDrive, the folder still exist in the search results. I tried the same from the Home Page in SharePoint Search field, same result, I can see the folder... If somebody knows another way please let me know ;) Thanks in advance.

Hi, We use custom column formatting to add a pen icon next to the document name. When clicking on the pen, the edit form opens. Today we noticed this stopped working. Did anything change? What can we do to fix this? Thanks in advance. Kind regards, SDBRSDBR1455Feb 10, 2025Copper Contributor138Views1like5CommentsChange layout of the "Edit View" page
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the layout of the Edit View page in SharePoint Online? What I have now is: I have never been able to understand why Position from Left wasn't swapped with Column Name. Having it floating so far out there makes it slow to update as you have to be sure you aren't mistakenly changing the column above/below your actual target.KRKamFeb 10, 2025Copper Contributor8Views0likes1CommentNumbering and bullets in Word docs keep disappearing
When working as a team on Word files within SharePoint, I constantly have problems with things like heading numbering disappearing (or changing from numbers to bullets), bullets going missing or bullets turning into numbers. From what I can see, the custom list styles in the documents go missing. Other formatting things happen, like table column widths messing up. I can fix it all, PDF it, save and close, and when I open the Word doc again it's all gone haywire once more. I was always approaching this from a Word bug perspective, but maybe it's something I'm doing wrong in regard to SharePoint. Essentially, this is my workflow: 1. Create Word template. 2. Create documents from Word template (bid response schedules, one for each). 3. Upload all files to SharePoint. At this point, the template resides on my computer, in my OneDrive folder. As I understand it, this shouldn't be an issue because unless people play around with what template the document is linked to, it shouldn't change. However, often I found that the template had reverted back to "Normal". So, I started saving the template in a location on SharePoint (along with the documents) and making sure it was linked to it. When the document styles go haywire, to fix it all I need to do is link back to the template and update the styles. I have a macro that has the location of the template hard coded, and it links the document to the template, updates the styles, then turns off the checkbox again. (Note: I always make sure the "update styles from template" is kept off). Whether the template is on my computer or on SharePoint, once the styles start messing up they will continue to keep messing up, so putting the template on SharePoint doesn't seem to have fixed it. I'm outlining this process because all the forum posts I've found seem to treat SharePoint more as a space where templates are uploaded and people use the "New" button to create and then save documents straight into SharePoint from Templates that are uploaded into the site library. This is obviously not how we are using it: these Teams sites are created per project, we do our submission and then move on. I'm the only one creating documents and other people contribute to them. Is there something I'm doing fundamentally wrong and that's why these issues happen? If not, has anyone seen this issue and worked out what causes it?AndrewB_33334Feb 10, 2025Copper Contributor81KViews5likes76CommentsEmbedding Scribe slides iframe in SharePoint - HTML Field Security set up but still blocked!
I'm running into an issue with embedding Scribe slides in SharePoint: I’ve added scribehow.com to the HTML Field Security settings at the site collection level under "Allow contributors to insert iframes only from the following domains." I confirmed that DenyAddAndCustomizePages is disabled I tested using this Embed Web Part (sort of) <iframe src="https://scribehow.com/page-embed/blah_blah_blah" width="100%" height="640" allowfullscreen frameborder="0"></iframe> The Embed Web Part shows an error saying the domain isn’t allowed: "Embedding content from this website isn't allowed, but your admin can change this setting by adding scribehow.com to the list of sites that are allowed." I've also: Tested after a couple hours for propagation Verified that other iframes (e.g., YouTube) work fine in the same web part Disabled Youtube in the HTML Field Security settings, it still works??? Cleared the browser cache and tested in multiple browsers Despite all this, the embed still throws that error, so.... Is there something I’m missing in configuring HTML Field Security or tenant-level settings? Has anyone successfully embedded Scribe in SharePoint, and if so, how did you configure it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!rgaterFeb 09, 2025Copper Contributor69Views0likes1CommentMultiple Site Pages libraries to have different permissions when creating modern site pages
We want to build a wiki-like site for our company where the info will be added inside modern pages, and we need each department to manage its own modern pages. To do so i added different document libraries then i added custom content types which inherit from the built-in Site Pages content type. but this did not work, for example inside the HR Document library, i want to create a new modern page >>but when i click on "HR Site Page" content type which has the "Site Pages" content type as its parent:- I will be redistricted to a blank page, as follow:- so not sure how we can have multiple site pages libraries to store modern pages? since we want each library to have different permission settings (mainly different set of permissions for each department)?

Hi Folks, In doing a search, the resulting URL (which contains the search string) is long. So long that is can't be saved a link in SharePoint so that it can be used again. Does SharePoint have a URL shortener? If yes, please share both the app and your experience in using? Or, can anyone suggest another means of saving a search string? Thanks.SolvedVanessa MartinFeb 08, 2025Copper Contributor75KViews2likes9Comments
