How are you creatively working around the SharePoint List View Threshold
Hi community I'm looking for outside-the-box approaches to dealing with the SharePoint List View Threshold (5,000 item limit). I'm familiar with the standard guidance, indexed columns, filtered views, folders, but I'm curious how others have solved this more creatively, especially in M365/SharePoint Online environments where you can't raise the threshold from the admin side. Additionally, if you've tackled this in a healthcare, government, or other highly regulated environment where you couldn't just move to an external database easily. Would love to hear what's worked (and what's blown up) in practice. Thanks in advance!SolvedOmidyMay 22, 2026Copper Contributor153Views1like3Comments
How to show folder path for documents in a flat SharePoint library view
I have a document library with a multi-level folder structure that is somewhat complex. I created a view that removes folders and displays all documents in a flat structure (no folders shown). How can I display or indicate the folder path (or location) for each document in this flat view, so users can understand where each file is stored within the original folder hierarchy?Solved127Views0likes2Comments
Comment formatting in MS List/SharePoint List
Hi, I have an MS List and the formatting in the Comments section in the form view has gone all wonky and it's being compressed and is only allowing a few words per line. Any ideas? Nothing changed on my end....SolvedBarking_MadMay 19, 2026Copper Contributor213Views0likes4CommentsFiltering on Events web part
It would be great to get the same filtering options for the Events web part in SharePoint modern as you get in the News web part. This would really help to be able to quickly show targeted events across different pages. Is this a development possibility?SolvedsimonclearMay 15, 2026Copper Contributor100Views0likes3CommentsUpdated design for collapsible sections SharePoint
We're seeing an updated design for collapsible sections in SharePoint as of today. The control arrow for the section now appears either over ("Left") or under ("Right") the header. Is this intentional? If it's not intentional - I presume that the arrow should appear either to the left or right of the header, not over or under and this may be fixed soon. If it's intentional - please change this so that we have the option that it is actually to the left or right of the header! The extra space that is showing right now ruins the look of the design, and it's confusing which arrow belongs to which header.SolvedsimonclearMay 15, 2026Copper Contributor242Views0likes3Comments
Collapsible section icon alignment no longer respected – recent SharePoint change?
Hi all, I’m looking to validate whether others are seeing a recent change to collapsible sections on modern SharePoint pages. Across multiple communication sites in our environment, the expand/collapse icon is no longer rendering inline with the section heading, despite the settings being configured correctly (e.g. alignment set to “Right”). Instead, the icon is now: appearing below the heading defaulting to the left-hand side ignoring the alignment setting in the section properties This change appears to have happened “overnight” and is consistent across all sites we’ve checked, not just a single page or site. Impact We rely heavily on collapsible sections for: knowledge guides FAQ-style content onboarding materials The current behaviour is: increasing vertical spacing unnecessarily reducing scan-ability of pages creating inconsistency between existing and newly rendered content It’s also causing confusion for content authors, as the settings no longer reflect what is displayed. Questions Is anyone else seeing the same behaviour across their tenant? Has this been confirmed as a design change vs a bug? Has anyone found a workaround or mitigation approach? I have already raised this and upvoted it on the Microsoft Feedback Portal and would encourage everyone to do the same if they are experiencing this issue. I'd rather not have to change the design across multiple SharePoint site - an enormous amount of work. Thanks!SolvedBrigitteSMay 14, 2026Copper Contributor320Views6likes3Comments
Search Box Scope of Standard sites in SP Online Tenant
Hello All, I am going to set home site for a SharePoint Online tenant in few days. I will be doing so using the below command Set-PnPHomeSite -HomeSiteUrl "https://sharepoint.com" I need to confirm below mentioned query. After setting the home site what will be the behavior of the search bar of a standard SharePoint site, which is not a home site. I am referring to the sites other than home site in the same tenant. Note: On Microsoft documentation it says the scope of the search bar in the home site will be extended to the whole tenant, which is fine. But the standard site (not the home site) search bar should not have scope of whole tenant. Please share your thoughts on this and let me know what will be the scope of Standard site search bar. Thanks in advance.SolvedTarunHCCMay 07, 2026Copper Contributor89Views0likes3Comments
News Web Part post by page
Is there a way to use the News Web part at a page level not site level? I want some pages to each have unique news posts and not have them all show up for every page on the site with the News web part. If I can't do this with web parts is there another approach for an end user to update the content on their page like this? thanks in advanceSolvedctedesco3307May 06, 2026Copper Contributor85Views0likes1Comment
Saving MS Form with many question responses to SharePoint
Hi, A department wants to save responses received from a MS Form to a SharePoint list. When I received the MS Form to create the columns in the SP list, noted there was 115 questions. Most of them are a Yes / No answer and a few where comments have been asked for. Then a Flow will need to be created. Firstly - This is too many questions. Secondly - Would SharePoint be the best place to store these answers knowing that an Excel spreadsheet is created for the responses? Thirdly - As the MS Form will be used regularly and responses coming in Day and Night is there another solution. The results will be used to Analyse the results using PowerBI.SolvedChris_Clark1968Apr 24, 2026Iron Contributor178Views0likes2Comments
