Classic SharePoint features appearing on a Modern Site
I have a modern SharePoint site, with a modern list that has never been associated with classic SharePoint features. But today, two users have experienced intermittent instances of the list appearing in the classic interface. They have not accessed this site before now so I do not believe there should be a cache issue. Does anyone know why this is happening and how it's possible when this site has no association with Classic features? They are using the same browser, same permissions across the site but sometimes the list opens in Classic mode, sometimes it opens in Modern. It also is happening in incognito mode. They are unable to use the site while in Classic Interface at all - the people pickers deny them access ("Error: Sorry, you do not have permission to query for users" and they cannot edit anything because of this error.
In a PnP search how long does the crawl take
In an Education tenant using SharePoint online if you add a new mapping into the PnP search because the crawled property was unpopulated how long do you have to wait before it is fully populated? Copilot chat suggested 30 minutes to 48 hours. At 48 hours and it managed to find about 45 items. I was anticipating about 900 items. 10 hours later it is still showing 45 items. How do I know if it finished the crawl or just abandoned it, whether it is actually still going or it can genuinely only find 45 items. Thank you.
File Type Version Limits
Hi all, In trying to solve an old issue I stumbled across this new feature currently in preview and am wondering if the file type arrays will be editable or if new arrays could be or will be added? I have a handful of file types which do not need 100 versions, let alone a version every 2-5 minutes, requiring frequent culling...

SPFx Debug Manifests Not Loading localhost - Debug Query String Not Recognised
Hi everyone, We are currently facing an issue with debugging an SPFx solution in SharePoint Online. Previously, we were able to debug our solution using the standard debug query string: ?debug=true&noredir=true&debugManifestsFile=https://localhost:4321/temp/build/manifests.js However, recently this has stopped working in our development environment. Current Behaviour When we paste the debug query string into the SharePoint page URL, the page loads normally but the debug manifests are not recognised or loaded. The “Allow debug scripts” warning banner does not appear on the page as expected. Even after clicking “Load debug scripts”, the browser still does not load the debug manifests. The browser does not attempt to load https://localhost:4321/temp/build/manifests.js. Because of this, our local debug build is not injected into the page, making it impossible to debug the solution. Additional Observations There are no console errors at the moment. The issue occurs across multiple machines (Windows and Mac). Tested on multiple browsers: Microsoft Edge Google Chrome Safari The SPFx solution itself has no issues and previously worked correctly with the same debugging method. Troubleshooting Already Attempted We followed the recommended steps, including: Allowing the browser permission to access local network devices Running gulp trust-dev-cert Verifying the debug query string format Confirming the manifest path: https://localhost:4321/temp/build/manifests.js Checking browser console logs Testing with CSP parameters Allowed to run custom scripts in the site from the SharePoint Admin centre. None of these resolved the issue. Microsoft Support Response We also contacted SharePoint Technical Support through the Microsoft Service Hub, and the response we received was that this behaviour is now "by design" and that serving debug manifests through the debug query string is no longer supported. The workaround suggested by Microsoft Support was to package the solution and deploy it to test changes instead of using the debug query string. Potential Impact If this change is indeed by design, it could have a significant impact on development workflows for organisations building SPFx solutions. The ability to load debug manifests from localhost is a core part of the SPFx development and debugging process. Without it, developers would need to package and deploy the solution for every small change, which would introduce a considerable amount of additional time, effort, and overhead during development and testing. Questions Has anyone else recently experienced this issue with SPFx local debugging? Has the debugManifestsFile query string approach been deprecated or restricted in SharePoint Online? If so, what is the recommended approach for debugging SPFx solutions locally now? Any insight from the community would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
SharePoint Online Alerts
I'm a site admin for a SharePoint Online site and wondering if there is a way to disable the list alerts? So, in this particular List, I'm considering to add more metadata, but many users have alerts set on it and I'd not like it to shoot an email to everyone, when I add more columns. After looking at online resources, I understood that a site collection admin could change the alert settings to manage the changes, but I'm wondering if there is a workaround like how about if I change the List Permission settings to View only for the time I make these changes? Would users still receive the alerts? I would appreciate your response. Thanks.
Thumbnails broken
Hi All I'm new here, I have a SP list that has an image column, it's an older list so the images are still stored in Site assets. It's the back end of a Powerapp. The problem I have is that some of the images won't render in some thumbnail sizes in my app. So some images render small, medium and large but not full and others render in small medium, full. I think it has something to do with when I updated a record in my app. but for now I would like to know how to repair the image column. I'm fairly sure it's Sharepoint issue, as when I select an image in the list, it sometimes does not preview as a large image. Any help would be much appreciated.
