How to enable external sharing
Hi all, I need to activate external sharing option (Share to anyone with the link) for my organization. I've activated the External Sharing in SharePoint admin center > Policies > Sharing and also change the External file sharing for the SP sites to Anyone, but it still doesn't work. Is my configuration correct? Did I miss anything? Appreciate your help.haianhcaoJan 17, 2025Occasional Reader29Views0likes4CommentsSharePoint Site 404 error on Home
We have created a modest SharePoint site that has been working for some time. All of a sudden when you go into SharePoint directly to your home screen and click on the link to go to the site in question, you get a 404 error. I went back in through MS Teams to get to the site so that I could get to the files. I reconnected the navigation link to the link for the home once I found it in site contents and it worked for a little while. It seems to work if I access SharePoint through Teams, but not SharePoint directly. If I go directly to SharePoint, I get the 404 error again. We don't seem to have anyone that can figure this out. I got this far on my own. Is there anyway that as a user I can fix this or is this something that has to be fixed on the back end? Starting over is not an option. Too many files within the site. Any help would be appreciated!Sue12Jan 16, 2025Copper Contributor4Views0likes0CommentsHow 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?NeilersJan 16, 2025Copper Contributor13Views0likes1CommentImport excel into existing list (with data already in it)
Hi, Is it possible to import data from an excel sheet into a SharePoint list that already contains data in it? Basically I just want to add to the list that's already in SharePoint without overwriting the existing lines or having to create a new list each time. Thanks!SolvedRRMX01Jan 16, 2025Copper Contributor577KViews1like52CommentsSharePoint list with "Multiple lines of text" column not displaying entries
Hello All, Our lists that utilize "Multiple line of text" type are not displaying entries and come up blank. Example column definition: Symptom: Expecting "Line 1" and "Line 2" in View Entries. I've opened a support request with Microsoft. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? Any workarounds or fixes? Thanks all! NormSolved11KViews0likes6CommentsIgnoring 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.Zyros_InfinitoJan 16, 2025Occasional Reader14Views0likes1CommentMoving a folder from Site Pages
Hi everyone, A staff member has accidentally moved a folder containing many files into the Site Pages section, and we’re unable to find a way to relocate it to another location besides Site Pages without manually saving each file individually, which is very time-consuming. My question is: is there an easy way to move this folder and its files to another location, such as a document library? Thank you for your help!AB21805Jan 16, 2025Bronze Contributor24Views0likes2CommentsHide 'who has list opened'
I just noticed that inside a SharePoint list you now see which other users hav e opened it. However, you also see this when you are a user with 'read' permissions and no permissions to browser user details. In terms of privacy this is absolutely not what we want. We have multiple clients working in the same list (they can't see each other's records) but we really do not want them to see each other. How can I hide this information as soon as possible?Toine1997Jan 16, 2025Copper Contributor29Views0likes1CommentCompare pages as readonly user
Is it possible to give readonly users the possibility to compare pages as admin can do? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/compare-page-versions-in-sharepoint-de7ba69d-257d-4201-b787-d5ea89fb2f08#articleFooterSupportBridge=communityBridgemtengmoJan 16, 2025Copper Contributor5Views0likes1CommentCopy Column name and setting from one SharePoint List to another SharePoint List
Hi All, I have multiple SharePoint sites with the same List Name on them all, I have added several columns to one of the Lists and want to be able to copy the name and settings to all the other Lists. These Columns are "Calculated (calculation based on other columns)". Is there a way using PowerShell or Power Automate or any other method of doing this except for manually creating and copying the settings? Thanks J.Jbrines1969Jan 16, 2025Copper Contributor9Views0likes0Comments
