SharePoint & AI (Knowledge Agent)
In my tenant, I cannot use some of the basic AI features of the Knowledge Agent. I tried to use the "Create list" prompt, but every call failed with the message: "Something went wrong, and I couldn't complete your request. Please try again later." I have a Copilot license, and some other features are working as expected. I encountered many errors in the browser console that violate the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'unsafe-eval'" (see attached image). "violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src 'unsafe-eval'" I tried an inPrivate browser session already without any changes in the behavior.
SharePoint List Migration to new Tenant
Hi All, I am preparing for a tenant-to-tenant migration of 60+ SharePoint lists that function as the back-end for various PowerApps. Since we are doing a staggered cutover, I need to perform an initial migration now and then run 'Delta' syncs over the next few weeks to catch new records, updates, and deletes. My primary challenge is that SharePoint's native ID column is not preserved during manual migrations (PowerShell/CSV), which will break our App logic and Lookups. How have others handled cross-tenant list synchronization at this scale? Specifically: How do you maintain record relationships and deep links when the system IDs change? What is the most efficient way to handle deltas across 60 lists without buying expensive 3rd-party migration tools? thanks, Jake
Automated emails from SharePoint when new file added to sites document library
I have noticed in the last few months that I have been receiving emails from SharePoint Online when a new file has been added to a sites document library, these files specifically come from attachment questions on MS Forms we have in place. I have been trying to find out where these alerts are managed but to no avail. I first thought to check the old soon to be deprecated alerts area, no rules set up. I then check the new rules section....nothing. Also ran an audit from that site to see what actions were taking place at the time of the email....no results. Finally tried to run a mail trace but "SharepointOnline" isn't a user object/mailbox in our database so no result would come back. Has anyone else had any experience with this or luck managing it?
Can not delete page from search results
I need help deleting a page from search. This is a translated page. I have already deleted the page, the page is deleted from all recycle bins. Same for the original page. The translated page is still showing up in the search results (this happened on friday). What else I tried: - Reindexed the SitePages library => didn't help - Reindexed the entire SiteCollection => didn't help either - Delete the page in the admin center (https://contonso-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/searchadmin/searchresultremoval.aspx) => Error message that the page cannot be found did not help - New page created under the same URL (original + translation), published, deleted again => New page was in the search results, disappeared again, old page is still in the search results. So it didn't help either. How can I really remove a search result from the search? I waited 4 days now and the page is still in the search results and everything I tried is not working properly.
Metadata being lost/corrupt
Anyone seen this happen before ? I have a metadata column called Business Area which has a choice column. Not too many files in the library, less than 100. We then group by Business Area. The pic above shows a file that was in a Business Area called Regulation and Assurance - but the file for some reason loses the correct value in the column and pops out in its own 'unknown' business area. To fix it we have to change the column back to the correct value. This happens on a few different libraries that are setup like this.Guest user invites other guest user

Please contact your IT department for help.”Quick Launch missing from SharePoint subsite after deleting links
The Quick Launch navigation has disappeared from one SharePoint subsite (Marketing) after I deleted some placeholder links on a Marketing page. It was working previously, and still appears on other subsites in the same site collection. In Site Settings, Quick Launch is still enabled, but there is no option to add or edit navigation links anymore, and the left navigation is completely gone on this subsite. Has anyone seen this before or know how to restore the Quick Launch for just one subsite? Thank you!
Restirct user access to SPO Root SiteCollection
Hi everyone, In a tenant, the SharePoint Online root site collection was deliberately locked down to a very small audience. We are currently seeing some issues that could be related to this. While investigating, I noticed that some Microsoft documentation seems to imply that the root site collection plays a special role and should be accessible for the users, for example: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/modern-root-site https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/sharepoint/sites/url-that-resides-under-root-site-collection-is-broken However, I couldn’t find any explicit or official recommendation stating whether restricting access to the root site collection is supported or discouraged. So my question is: Is it a best practice or implicit requirement that the root site collection remains broadly accessible for M365 / SharePoint Online to work reliably? Thanks!How best to apply extensive edits to a live page?
What are best practices for extensive editing of a live page? I've seen some cautions against working in a prolonged editing session of a live page without publishing it. Instead, some recommend making a working copy of the live page and then when the working copy is ready to publish, you would change the live page URL to something else, followed by changing the working page URL to the original live page's URL and then publishing. What are the pros and cons of this approach? Is there a better way?
Users unable to determine who has access to document library due to security groups
Greetings, Maybe I went about this the wrong way. Looking for advice on either the proper way we should be moving forward on this or any other comments or insight we should be considering. This is for SharePoint online via Microsoft 365 Business license. Scenario: 1. SharePoint Document Library per department (Each Document Library exists in its own SharePoint site), essentially being used as a company drive. 2. Some users should only officially have access to specific folders in some of the document library. 3. If say a person in accounting has access to some specific folders, and either they are replaced or a new accounting user comes in.... should be able to reference the access the existing person has in order to give the same access to the new user. 4. Common Request: Give UserB the same folder access as UserA. 5. Some users should have access to the entire document libraries while other users only have access to specific subfolders. Current Implementation: 1. In Entra, created Security Groups that tied to specific folders. -- For Example for the accounting folder, only management has access to the entire folder but the accounting staff only have access to specific folders. So like there is a FiscalYear2024 folder, so I created a security group called sec-Accounting-FiscalYear2024 and assigned the members that should only have access to that folder and not the rest of the library. -- My thought behind this was if a new user was replacing the existing user or joining the department, I can just reference the existing user security group membership and copy it to the new user. 2. In the SharePoint document Library, I create a shareLink that is assigned to the security group I made for that access. Then I give that link to the users I assigned the membership to. Current Issue: 1. Aside from the official document sharing/access that is being done from the security groups above. There are occasions where users of a sharepoint need to share specific files or folders to other users. 2. However, they are all panicking and confused because aside from themselves they are unsure who has access to the existing folders/files in the document library. 3. When going to manage permissions of a file/folder, it only shows the group assigned to it but not the members of the group. 4. So since users can't see the members of the group assigned to a folder, they have no idea who has access to that folder and are getting confused. If this was an NTFS drive, it would be super easy for users to see who has access and etc by looking at the properties but I'm stuck behind some limitations of sharepoint I didn't realize existed until I tried to implement certain workflows. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated, as my implementation has turned into a point of frustration for end users. Thank you in advance!
