Editing or updating URL of link file saved in Sharepoint document library
I have a modern Sharepoint document library in which I have created a lot of links to pages on external websites. I have been trying to find a way to edit/update the URL of those links without losing the metadata. There does not appear to be any way of doing this directly in Sharepoint, short of deleting the link (and all its metadata) and creating a new link I have found and tried a couple of suggested solutions online: Sync or download the link file to a local folder, edit the URL for the shortcut file in Windows, and then resync/upload to Sharepoint overwriting the original file Use PowerAutomate (Update File operation) to change the URL by updating the link file contents I have used both methods, and in both cases appear to successfully update the file content of the shortcut/link file, but the updated file doesn't work in Sharepoint. If I download the updated link file and open it on my desktop, the shortcut works perfectly, directing me to the updated URL. However, opening the updated link directly in Sharepoint takes me to the original URL. It doesn't make sense to me that the same file behaves differently depending on whether it is opened in Sharepoint or on the desktop. Can anybody explain what is going on, and how I go about fixing this?WayneKarkJun 17, 2025Copper Contributor16KViews2likes9CommentsGet file download data
Hello! Is it possible to grab download data from SharePoint? Like X downloads in May etc. I know there's nothing out-of-the-box and I could use the compliance centre but I was hoping for something automatic. Can I grab this data using Power Automate??RMDUser1Jun 17, 2025Copper Contributor26Views0likes2CommentsDocument Activity Pane
On my sharepoint site in the document library I use the Activity Pane to keep track of what updates have been made to documents, however it is now empty, but I know activity has recently taken place. How can I fix this?MissLillyJun 17, 2025Copper Contributor43Views0likes1CommentOpen internal links in a new tab
I have a list with an item linked to internal document set to open in a new tab. When I add a webpart on the home page and add this list, the above link opens in the same tab. Why is the link not behaving in the same way as when I open the list itself? How do I make the link on the home page open in a new tab?TomieJun 16, 2025Occasional Reader1View0likes0CommentsLicensing Requirements for SharePoint Advanced Management
Please confirm Licensing Requirements for SharePoint Advanced Management? I ask because I believe there is a scenario where if I have one user account in my M365 Tenant (say this one user account was treated like a service/admin account) and this same user account was subscribed to the Monthly Copilot subscription; it could also therefore subscribe to the SharePoint Advanced Management subscription too? Afterwards, then this user account could do the SharePoint Advanced Management tasks.

Hello, We are using SharePoint 2019 on-prem, modern experience. We need to display code snippets on pages, but the Text webpart does not allow to format a block with a black background and white texte. What are the alternative? We cannot use the online version nor the classic webparts.

This post is to highlight a serious issue with regards to one of the static Retention Policy templates that includes Microsoft Teams Shared and Private Channels which can ultimately leave the Channel sites orphaned when you delete the Microsoft Team, and ultimately lead you to a potential data breach. Due to this issue, we identified almost six hundred orphaned Channel sites in our tenant. I've provided full details in the SharePoint Feedback forum so Microsoft customers are aware of the issue and hopefully we can get Microsoft to fix it urgently.

Hi all, Is there a way to enable an "All Day" option in a modern SharePoint calendar? If not, is it possible to create this option manually or use an alternative method, rather than setting the event time from 12:01am to 11:59pm? Thanks in advance!AB21805Jun 16, 2025Bronze Contributor29Views0likes2CommentsHow to hide details popup on people picker field
