Unable to Create a Rule on a Library with Contribute Permission
Hi the community, I tried to create a rule on a document library where I have Contribute permission. However, when I click on "Create a rule", I get a blank window. Strangely, with the same permission level on a list, it works as expected. Do you know if this is a known limitation? Do you have any workaround to suggest? Thanks in advance.
I can't publish content types with template from HUB anymore
We have a Content type HUB for our content types. There is 1 parent and many child content types. The template library is listed on the same HUB site. The templates are used in the content types. The existing URL is: /sites/contentTypeHub/Templates/[Name of the template].docx. Everything worked fine until I try to publish an update on 22 may 2025. The error: The operation failed on one or more Metadata web service application proxies: Taxonomy_HrstGnW7grNsmI2m437TvQ==. Please contact your administrator and check the log files for more error details. Content type publishing list error: If I try to publish the content type in 'classic SharePoint' I get an access request page. If I fill in this form, I get the acces request myself, because I am site owner. Accept this access request does not help to solve the problem. Detailed information: Publication with template = Error, access denied. Without template, I am able to publish the content type. (But we need the template) Use of managed metadata field: We use 4 term store sets. Permissions: I'm site collection admin and site owner of the HUB site. I'm Admin on the term store admin center. I'm site collection owner of the sites where the content types are published. I have full control on the HUB site and all libraries including the template library. Last successfully published date: 12 may 2025 (With template) Note: The templates are stored in the template library on the HUB site. They required version history. That's why we don't use the 'upload a template function'. But the function 'use an existing template'. Does anyone have any idea to solve this?

Shredded Storage in SPO
Anyone knows if Shredded Storage is still used in SharePoint Online? Is there a way to see the actual storage consume by each file version? I would like to see the actual storage consume for a specific library. The SharePoint "Site Storage Metrics" site parameters does seems to calaculate the full size of the file for each version (not shredded info). Thanks.
Access to hidden files
Hello, I have an excel database that links to a sharepoint site via a number of macros. With the workbook attached to the site - I'd like to hide all of the various libraries from the users so they will just see the home screen - while obviously allowing the macros to still access and display the various files. Essentially I need to give them read access without being able to view the library from sharepoint. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate the feedback. Thanks, Anthony
Handling duplicate files in a Sharpoint library
Hi, I need some help regarding an issue I have in Sharepoint library. We have several libraries containing files (Word, Excel, PDF, PPT). Once these are in Approved status they are moved to a library called "Published". The problem occurs when the file has the same name in 2 (or more) libraries and are copied to "Published" library. Right now it is renaming with a suffix number after the name, but this is not ideal. Is it possible to have the same name on both (or several) files if the metadata is different?SharePoint List Export to Excel Not Updating After Refresh
Hello, My SharePoint list had 3.5k rows and recently did a huge cleanup and deleted almost half of it. It now currently has 1.6k items. I have exported that SharePoint list to an excel file but when I hit Refresh All in the file, it still has 3.5k line items and still hasn't updated. I did the update around 2pm CST yesterday, and as of writing this it is currently 8:30am CST the next day. I don't understand how when I export to CSV, everything is updated but when I export a new file to Excel or when I refresh my old export that is still linked to my SharePoint list, it isn't updating. Please help. Thank you!
