How to create a template from a modern Sharepoint online communication site
Hi I thought I saw recently something indicating that Microsoft were going to make it easier to create your own tepmplate for a modern comms SharePoint online site. Did I imagine that? Was it wishful thinking or can someone point me to the article? Alternatively if someone knows how to do it without using powershell / sharepoint shell or jason files (or has a code guide that is more of an idiots guide to building blocks - just stick these bits together indicating where the colours can be changed) that would be truely awsome. Sharepoint sites got easier to make with drag the web parts about , but making a template has gone off the charts for me. Save as was good for me - I don't expect it to be that simple ever again but am I missing something, it can't be coders only, surely? Looking forward to your ideas of how to do it. Thank you H
Bulk link updates
First off, apologies if this is in the wrong community. All files are held in the same sharepoint library. So in the library there is an excel file which gets updated a couple of times a year and lets say 20 word fiiles containing roughly 5 links per file referencing 4 ranges in the excel file. These word documents are also updated several times a year. When either the excel documented if updated a new file if generated with a new name which replaces the old one and the old one is archived. The word documents are simply edited and renamed with the old one being archived. I'm looking for a way to update the links in the word documents to pick up the same ranges in the new spreadsheet. As it currently stands I need to manually update each link which is time consuming, prone to error and stupid :-) anyone come across this need and if so how did you solve it? thanks in advance
Document Sets - Want Subfolders (not just files) to inherit metadata
Trying to get subfolders (the actual subfolder) in a document set to inherit metadata. We have files and files in subfolders inheriting correctly but currently subfolders in the set do not inherit data. We are using the metadata column for view filter between active/pending/completed job status. What happens is the subfolders don't show in the filtered view so you cant traverse the subfolder structure. Show flat structure is not suitable as its hundreds of files. The shared columns settings in library settings, says it syncs for all 'documents' in the set. This excludes folders. Have tried power automate, but it doesn't seem to work applying the metadata to a folder object. We need to able to change a document set from Active > Pending and all the metadata change. Any ideas on how we can get the subfolders in inherit (and update) the metadata of the document set. Thanks in advance.Moving Files from a Shared Drive to a SharePoint site
Hi, I've seen the moving of files from a Shared Drive to a SharePoint site can be tricky, depending on the size of the files that are to be moved. What is the best and most effective way to move folder, files. I'm not sure yet of the number of folders and size of the files that will need to be moved? Can anyone provide an advise on this, please.. Regards Chris
Calander Pop-up Clipped Vertically
My SharePoint calendar pop-up is being clipped vertically and only displaying 4 days per week in the date picker. I created a new date column and the issue still persists. I tested in both Edge and Chrome with the browser zoom set to 100%, and the problem does not change when zooming in or out. Has anyone experienced this issue before or found a fix?

Does anybody know if this is by decision or bug..? I created a SharePoint list for inventory and created 2 folders for private items (unique permissions on folders) to hide list items at certain times of the year. I tried to move them back OUT of the folder to the root of the list, but it does not allow me to do so. See screenshot on the bottom shows Move Here button is disabled on root of list.. attached is screenshot only when in folders.. My workaround would be to create another folder called public and inherit permissions from a list, set all views to show No Folders and move from private to public, but thought I 'should' be able to move back out to root of list...
Searching on SharePoint Image Gallery only using 'Image Tags'
Hi Our company has an image gallery on Share Point which needs to be user-friendly and efficient. Since we deal with a large volume of images, we are searching for the most effective solution to easily locate the images we need. Although I attempted to use the "Image Tags" column to tag the images, a keyword search on Share Point displays not only tags but also other files and folders containing the word. Is there a specific command or search bar option to view only "Image Tags" keywords? Could you suggest a solution? Thank you!
Metadata for SP library
Want to get rid of folders within libraries. Issue, to sort them with columns every time people have to go into details or edit in grid view to fill them in. How can I create something that's easier for users to enter in the metadata? Goal is setup filters for finding their documents.
