RefinableStrings managed properties are assigned to crawl properties only at the site level
I accessed the managed properties at a site level scope inside SharePoint online, and I found some refinable strings assign to crawl properties, but when I accessed the same refinable strings at the tenant level i found that those managed properties do not have crawl properties assign to them, here is a example for RefinableString06:- Site level Tenant Level Also the confusing issue is that inside the UI the ability to assign crawl properties to those managed properties are disabled on the site level, so how those got assigned?
SharePoint Framework
Let me explain you my scenario and use-case about what I am trying to build with SPFx. As i have tried all the possible Form customizations using PowerApps, SharePoint Forms, etc.. and not able to get the expected results. I am creating a primary list named Sales Leads List wherein i am tracking each leads getting in from our sales team. And i am creating related list named Lead Interactions to track the interactions associated with specific Lead of Sales Lead List. What i want to achieve is: I am creating a Add Interaction column/button on each lead of Sales Lead List. When user clicks this button, a Lead Interactions form should open with certain fields gets pre-populated from this Leads entry. Is it possible to achieve this use-case with SPFx and how?
Search results, document link goes to Page Not Found
When searching the site for a document (which is there), the link under the file goes to a Page Not Found. If I go to that URL, I see the file, but the link in the search results seems to be broken. A couple of things I am thinking could be the issue, so wanting to verify or if it is something else: Document library has 50,313 items File name could be too long (which includes the folder paths). I've re-indexed the library and will check if that helps.Can't switch off grid view
We've a number of pages (about 90) We have a couple of views on each page (different for each one) from a main List This works for most of the pages/views we have. However some have defaulted to Grid View and we can't switch it off How can we get rid of this? we don't want grid view only the link to the Canvas App form to enter information. We've no idea why it's appeared and we can't get rid of it. Does anyone have any idea how we can revert these to the default view. Thanks
News page banner images issue
Hello all, Starting yesterday (September 24, 2025) when I create a news page, there's a few issues with how SharePoint is managing the banner image: It seems to copy the image instead of directly using the one from the library When I move the focal point, it creates yet another cropped copy of the image (both being automatically added to the Site Assets folder, under a new folder automatically created with the page name) If I save and move the focal point again, it creates yet another image The thumbnail in the news web part and hero web part is extremely zoomed in and blurry, rather than the full image as it used to be. I can no longer focus the image on any part of the original 1920x1080 image, as it crops the image to the banner size and then only allows me to focus there, which is almost completely pointless since its around 1920x300 at that point. I am using a 1920x1080 image. Some screenshots attached: Original 1920x1080 image What it offers when I'm trying to focus the image Does anyone know if this is a setting that somehow got changed, or a bug? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you! EDIT 10/1/2025: The banner image focus is now working as intended. Seems it was a temporary bug.

I have developed a Post and Comment module inside SPFx. where i have 3 sharepoint list:- Posts Comments Reaction here is the SPFX, with 2 posts and the first post has 2 comments:- Currently the Posts and their Comments will be shown sorted by the created date , here is the method to show the posts:- async getPostsPage(pageSize: number = 10, afterId?: number) { let url = `${this.siteUrl}/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('SocialPosts')/items` + `?$select=Id,Title,Body,Created,Author/Id,Author/Title,LikeCount,CommentCount` + `&$expand=Author&$orderby=Id desc&$top=${pageSize}`; if (afterId) url += `&$filter=Id lt ${afterId}`; const data = await this.getJson<{ value: any[] }>(url); return data.value.map(v => ({ Id: v.Id, Title: v.Title, Body: v.Body, Created: v.Created, AuthorId: v.Author?.Id, AuthorTitle: v.Author?.Title, LikeCount: v.LikeCount || 0, CommentCount: v.CommentCount || 0 })) as import('../Models/Models').Post[]; } and the comments:- // ---------- Comments ---------- async getComments(postId: number): Promise<Comment[]> { const url = this.commentsUrl() + `?$select=Id,Body,Created,Author/Id,Author/Title,LikeCount,Post/Id,PostId` + `&$expand=Author,Post&$filter=PostId eq ${postId}&$orderby=Created asc`; const data = await this.getJson<{ value: any[] }>(url); return data.value.map((v) => ({ Id: v.Id, Body: v.Body, Created: v.Created, AuthorId: v.Author?.Id, AuthorTitle: v.Author?.Title, LikeCount: v.LikeCount || 0, PostId: v.PostId ?? v.Post?.Id, })); } but the client is asking us if there is a way to order the items using AI algorithm so it show the most relevant posts and comments first? which approach i can follow? to allow order items inside SPFx using AI algorithm instead of Created date?? any advice?New blog: Do We Really Need to Buy More SharePoint Storage?

SharePoint 2019 Language Pack KB5002774 Installation Fails – Missing .deploy File
Hi all, We are encountering issues while installing the KB5002774 language pack update on a SharePoint 2019 Server. The installation fails with an error referencing with permissions issues, or specific mention of a missing file. Initial Event: Product: Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 1033 Language Pack - Update 'Security Update for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 Language Pack (KB5002774)' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Second Event: Product: Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 1033 Language Pack -- Error 1310. Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\16\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\ddm\1033\ddm\DDManager.exe.deploy. System error 0. Verify that you have access to that directory. Environment: SharePoint version: 2019, Windows Server 2019 Update: KB5002774 (September 2025 Language Pack Security Update) Language pack: English (1033) Installation method: Manual via Microsoft Update Catalog What We've Tried: - Verified that the base SharePoint 2019 installation is healthy and patched, KB5002775 successfully installed and applied. - Checked the folders and subfolders, permissions are at Full Control - DDManager.exe.deploy is missing but other files exist at that location. - Verified account permissions, folder/file permissions, re-download and attempted reapply of the update (3x). Questions: - Is DDManager.exe.deploy part of the official KB5002774 package, or is it installed from another source/patch/package? - Has anyone else encountered this issue with KB5002774 or other language pack updates? - Is there a safe workaround to bypass or restore this file to allow the update to complete? Any insights or suggestions other would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.SharePoint Knowledge Agent ExcludeSelectedSites max 100 urls
Hi All, just an FYI post about a Knowledge Agent preview powershell limitation. As a long time Digital Workplace specialist I've just tried out the Knowledge agent powershell (reference) , to try and test it on 2 of the 444 sites I have in my tenant, but I couldn't. The ExcludeSelectedSites setting for KnowledgeAgentScope has a limit of 100 urls in the KnowledgeAgentSelectedSitesList array. I found this out by running the following commands, where I had 442 urls in the $urlsToKeepKMagentTurnedOff array. Set-SPOTenant -KnowledgeAgentScope ExcludeSelectedSites Set-SPOTenant -KnowledgeAgentSelectedSitesList $urlsToKeepKMagentTurnedOff I know it is preview but unless we can test this out on real sites, prior to TURNING it on for every site we need to be able to test and trial it to build up our understanding so we can help our site / teams owners.
