Caching of Images on SharePoint Online Pages
Here is the scenario: We have a SharePoint Online site which has a document library containing an image, e.g. performance.png. This image is updated each day using a Power Automate flow, but the file name remains the same. The image was added to our home page within our site using the Image web part. But, when when we view those pages, they contain the previous version of the image, the cached version. When we press Ctrl+F5, the image doesn't always update. We also try F12 > right click refresh button > Empty Cache and Hard Reload, but the image doesn't always update this way either. We have tried both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. We have also tried adding a hidden script on the page using the Modern Script Editor web part to force reload the page every 5 minutes <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300"> <script> setInterval(function() { window.location.reload(); }, 300000); </script> How can I force the latest version of the images to appear without the need to force a hard refresh each time that we navigate to the page? Is there a way to switch off caching on that page? Any help would be greatly appreciated!SolvedowertzJan 24, 2025Copper Contributor7.2KViews0likes4CommentsGuest users can't find internal users when sharing
Hi team We have a tenant with guest users. I've noticed that guests in SharePoint sites can only share files within that site to people who already have access. They can't share with other internal users. When they search for a user, it doesn't appear. This is happening in two of our tenants. I've already set 'ShowPeoplePickerSuggestionsForGuestUsers' to 'True' and 'Allow guests to share items they don't own' but the issue persists. Has anything changed in SharePoint's configuration? Has anyone else encountered this?" Thanks!DTV00168Jan 24, 2025Copper Contributor5Views0likes0CommentsNews web part and Teams notifications
I would like to add a News web part to main page of our portal and I would like for everybody who has access to the portal to recieve notification about the newly added news to that web part to receive notification on Teams. How can I do that? I don't see any settings anywhere about Teams channel. I tried to add (on a production) a News web part to the portal main page and add one item in the web part. Only couple of people got the message on their mobile Teams, not Desktop. Then I created new site (on test environment) and created News web part and after adding new item, everybody got the message in Teams. Can somebody explain how News web part sends notifications?MarioZagrebJan 24, 2025Brass Contributor5Views0likes0CommentsEasy custom approval flows

We have a hubsite structure with a lot of associated sites for our project DMS. Within the hubsite, we have some groups to for external parties. These groups can be used by users to grant access to external parties on a library or folder in one of the associated sites. We would like to maintain those groups on our hubsite and sync the groups + the users to the associated sites. The option to sync permissions from the hub does not work since 1) the external parties should not have access to the whole site and 2) the created groups are SharePoint groups that cannot be synced. Does anyone has a solution for this? Does worked well with sites and subsites where subsites could you the groups created on the 'main-site'.DekkerNick1Jan 24, 2025Copper Contributor1View0likes0CommentsSettings question
Hi community! I have a simple question about list settings in SP. Within the library settings, there's an overview of the columns in the list, where one of the settings is "used in". What I'm wondering is, where does this come from and what's the function?BkkBoundJan 24, 2025Copper Contributor1View0likes0CommentsChange of notification language
Hi everybody, our tenant was created in Germany. Recently, we migrated another tenant from the US in our tenant. Unfortunately, all American users now receive notifications from Sharepoint Online in German. I have checked the SP page in question and found out that its default language is German. According to my research notifications are always sent in the default language and that it's not possible to change the default language. Is there any chance or possibility to change the language of the notifications for this site? If there is only an option to change them globally to English, this would also be fine. Thanks for your help.MichaelMMJan 23, 2025Copper Contributor40Views0likes8CommentsPrevent Users from Changing "Content Type" After Item/Document Creation
Hey everyone, Quick question for the community! I’m working with a list that has 10 different content types. What I’d like to do is prevent users from changing the content type once an item is created. Is there a way to hide the content type option in the information panel or item edit panel after an item has been created? I’m really hoping to stick with content types instead of creating individual lists (would literally save time + significantly reduce the long-term maintenance of a site)... If this is possible, I’m sold on using content types! Otherwise, if any user can change it...I don't really get them... Any advice or guidance is much appreciated!

Hi. I created a PNP search for a site, and it looks into other sites. I have 2 questions: Can the file be force to open on desktop app? at the moment when i click on the file, it opens on the browser. (i did change the settings on the site so that files will always open on desktop app, but so far it only works when opening a file from the folder not from the search) 2. On the search results (above) i have a link to the file location, it works, it takes me to the folder the file is in, and it goes to all the right sites, but it opens on the same page where the search is. Is it possible to force it to open on a different tab? Thank you!MVCuserJan 23, 2025Brass Contributor70Views0likes1CommentHandelbars 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}}Simon1605Jan 23, 2025Copper Contributor38Views1like1Comment
