SharePoint 2013 Newsfeed
I have a largely cosmetic problem. I have deleted and re-created someone's mysite (OneDrive). Now works fine. However, the landing page is the Newsfeed. It is stuck on an error about setting up OneDrive. It doesn't seem to have noticed OneDrive is fine. What I want to do is just reset the Newsfeed to its defaults. It looks like it is "stuck" as if OneDrive is broken. In SharePoint 2013 can I reset a NewsFeed page for a user in a non-disruptive way because the user now has data on their OneDrive.

MRT Layout Custom - how to become crazy 😭
Hi community, I'm currently trying to customize the search result layout in SharePoint. The JSON layout I created works correctly for SharePoint pages, but I would like to use the exact same layout for files, especially for: all files tagged as “procédures”, or files coming from a specific document library. Here are my current settings: The issue is not related to mapped properties. The refinable properties are working, and my verticals return the correct results when using this query. The problem is only with the layout, which does not apply to file results. Has anyone already faced this limitation or knows what might block the layout from rendering on file results? Thanks for your help!
Property Demotion leads to infinite import cycles when integrating with SharePoint
Hi, we have built an integration with SharePoint that imports watches and imports files from connected SharePoint sites into our product for further processing. After that process is complete, we push some of the processing results back to a SharePoint list as metadata. In order to keep the extracted data up to date, even when file content changes after the initial upload/import, we subscribe to changes in the SharePoint site and re-import the file if its hash has changed since the last import. This process worked really well until we started processing some of the Microsoft file types (e.g. .docx, .msg, etc.). Apparently SharePoint Online will include metadata from list columns into these files in a process called "Property Demotion". Since this changes the file content, it triggers a re-import of the file. Due to the non-deterministic (AI-generated) nature of some of the metadata we extract, this re-import will likely result in different metadata values that are exported back to SharePoint - which of course triggers property demotion again, leading to an infinite cycle. What we have tried so far: Disable property demotion -> Not possible in SharePoint online as far as we know. Only export metadata if anything actually changed -> Only solves the issue if metadata is stable w.r.t. document content, which does not hold for our use-case. Skip re-imports occurring X minutes after the last metadata export -> While this works most of the time, it is fragile (what if the property demotion is delayed?) and worsens user-experience (what if a user edits the file within the X minute window?) Has anyone encountered the same issue before? How did you end up handling it? Thanks, JohannesGet FileName from ServerRedirectedEmbedUrl in Excel
Greetings - I have a client requirement where we are using SharePoint as a datasource to excel - connecting to a library. Is there any way to get the filename in the output? Looks like I get a UniqueID - can I trace that back to the filename? Spreadsheet has 52,000 rows .... Thanks in advance!
Microsoft 365 Purview Logs not showing Export List Events
We recently conducted an audit on our system - as we are part of a regulated industry - and had to clarify exactly which user events are captured in the Unified Audit Log. We did the usual confirmations and provided evidence of events where users add, update, delete items in SharePoint Lists and Libraries, however, we were asked specifically if events for exporting List Items to CSV or Excel were captured in the Log. We performed the usual test and waited for the events to appear in Purview, but to our suprise, there was nothing in the Log to indicate a user exporting to CSV or Excel. Can anyone confirm whether Export to CSV or Excel from a SharePoint List should be captured and is reportable in the Audit Log? This seems to be a massive oversight if these events are not auditable?
How to I get my Sharepoint Designer re-install to work?
My Windows 10 SSD was corrupted and I replaced it with a Windows 11 SSD. For over 20 years, I used Sharepoint Designer to successfully design four HTML websites, and enjoyed the application. I must have installed it using a CD-ROM, because I could not find the installer EXE file after I restored my documents and settings. So, I dowloaded and installed Sharepoint Designer 2013, but am unable to make it work. The User Interface is completely different from what my previous version of the application looked like a month ago. It shows two websites on the upper left of the screen, basically one with and one without WWW. I tried various ways to re-open my website, and kept getting this error message: "Microsoft Sharepoint Designer does not support editing non-Sharepoint sites." Before, I had set .html files to always open in Sharepoint and double-clicked them. So, I set Sharepoint as the default application for .html files as before, but when I double-clicked the one I need to edit, I got this error message: "You must first open a Web site before editing external webpages." When I click the Open Site button, I see a three versions of the website, one with the URL followed by : "/%2f"; when I select this one, sometimes it asks me for the ID and PW I use to access my site with my webhost, so something is going on, but I still get the "Microsoft Sharepoint Designer does not support editing non-Sharepoint sites." I deleted a lot of files in "C:\Users\henry\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache" subfolders, but that didn't work. How the heck can I get Sharepoint Designer to work again? I have depended on it for over 20 years! Totally stumped here!
Edit a SP list column unable to enter data
Hi, I'm trying to edit some data in a column within my SP list. The column type is Choice. The issue is the is not a 'Choice' field. When created it was going to be a Choice field but when I built the Powerapp that is feeding data to this column is has become a lookup field. So in my app the user selects Division and then the wards in the division are available for selection in the Ward field. Sort(Distinct) formula used looking at another SP list SharePoint PowerApp This as caused an issue as I need to edit one some values in the Division and Ward columns in SP. Can I amend the column values to Single line of text, without losing any of the data?? If not is there away I can amend, edit the data??
