Document Library - Add "Navigation/Info Elements"
Hi All Is there any way to add web parts to a document library page? I have a requirement to put "instructions" above (or on the same page as) a document library. The only way I know to do this is to create a page and put the document library web part on it. This is not ideal. as it is not the full document library experience clicking the "see all" takes you to the document library, but this creates confusion for users in terms of navigation Another Option would be to "pin" a "how to use" document ... but this requires us to create and pin this document and is quite "ugly" I had hoped this would be part of the new library expereince https://supersimple365.com/sharepoint-document-libraries-are-getting-a-new-user-experience/
Hero and Quick Links web parts not supporting library and folder links
In the last few days, I noticed the "picker" modal used by the Hero and Quick Links visually changed. I didn't think anything of it at first until I realized the Hero web part was no longer allowing me to select libraries or folders to serve as the link. This was using the "Site" blade, which appropriately shows all the libraries and lets me drill into each and see the contents, but the ability to select a library or folder doesn't work. To make matters much worse, the "From a link" blade doesn't work either. "From a link" now seems to have a new validation component, so when I attempt to paste in a library or folder URL (i.e. https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/HR/Benefits) it detects that it's a SharePoint resource and displays a folder for me to select before I'm allowed to commit it - problem is, I still can't select this. I've tried pointing to the .aspx page that correlates to a library/folder view - doesn't work. I tried creating a Link in the library/folder that points to itself - I can't select these either. The Quick Links web part, on the other hand, does allow me to select these - same exact UI but allows for selecting libraries and folders. This does work for folders, but does not work for libraries. It visually looks like it works for libraries, but when you save the change is not really committed. I'm genuinely surprised to not have found this issue reported elsewhere so far. I assume this has to be a bug and hope it's fixed soon - allowing your most popular web parts to link to the root of content in your own platform is one of the most basic feature requirements and for this to break and not be noticed is pretty alarming.sharepoint admin option to create team site without 365 group missing
Hi, in the admin center, when I want to create a new Team site without 365 group, I see the "Browse more sites" command, as shown in this Microsoft Learn page. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/sharepoint/create-site-collection But a client of mine, who saw that very same screen two weeks ago now says the "Browse more sites" command is no longer showing for him. What gives? Is anyone aware of any changes that are being rolled out? Or is there a permission or setting that could have been en-/dis-abled to allow non-365 group team sites to be created? Any insights welcome.Quick steps disappear from SharePoint list
I have 4 quick steps set up for my sharepoint list. Each one executes a flow. Twice now they have disappeared. I don't see them when I go to Automate or when I go to manage quick steps. Refreshing the page didn't help. The only way I could get them back was to add a new quick step, save it. Refresh the page and go back into manage quick steps and they were all there again.Unable to create document from custom content type, using document template
If we create a content type in the Content Type Gallery and specify a document template URL, the content type cannot be used to create a new document in a library using the "New" menu (after pulling the content type in to the libary). The users have read access to the document template. When selecting the content type from the "New" menu, a tab is opened and then immediately closed. Upon inspection, the following error is found in the console: The document template is stored in a different site, to the site in which the content type is being used e.g. Template URL: /sites/Templates/Shared Documents/Short document template.dotx Library: /sites/Testteam/Shared Documents The content type is pulled from the Content Type Gallery, with the document template URL property already filled in. This also occurs if you https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/create-customize-content-type#associate-a-document-template-with-a-content-type and then pull that content type down to the site. This leads to a synchronisation error which can be found in the Content type publishing error log: When using the "New" menu it seems that the GetListUsingPath API call, is unable to handle a server relative URL that refers to a document template in another SharePoint site. The alternative of uploading the document template to the content type via the gallery, doesn't seem to work because the file is not synchronised to sites when the content type is pulled down. Steps to reproduce Create a custom content type in the Content Type Gallery, inheriting from the Document content type. Open the content type in the Gallery and click Settings and then Advanced settings Enter a URL of document template stored in a SharePoint site in your tenant. Ensure that you have access to this site and document template. Navigate to a library in a separate site to where your template is stored. Click the "+Add column", scroll to the bottom and click "Add a content type", then click Next. Choose the content type you created in step 1 and apply. Use the New menu and attempt to create a document using the content type. Expected behavior After clicking the content type from the "New" menu, a new document will be created using the document template for that content type.Integrated - PowerApps Customized Form - not working

Creating a form linked with excel sheet on Sharepoint online.
Hello Team, I want to create many forms with similar content but slight changes. And all these forms should have Reponses stored in excel format on SharePoint online site. But I can not use below features at the same time, 1) SharePoint online-> New -> Forms for Excel-> Create form. 2) Forms - Duplicate the form. I need to create approx. 32 forms for different targets but have to use both features mentioned above. But system limits me to only use one feature at a time. Otherwise if i use Duplicate form feature, I have to create 32 Flows to store responses in an excel sheet in SharePoint which is not feasible. Please suggest. Thanks.Unable to filter embedded list
OMG- could they f up sharepoint any more. It used to be such a powerful tool. It is harder than ever now. So- embed a lits in a page with a list part. I am showing controls and on default view-no search. there is now also NO FILTER PART so i go to github patterns and practices to download. Butttttt, I can't upload because while I am global admin, I am not sharepoint admin and cannot change my permissions. Create second admin account with all permissions. Tr to update my normal account permissions, and it says "you do not have permission to save." SO- do you know any other way to get a search of a list on a page? And - any thoughts on my permissions hell?SharePoint Online List: Filtered List View Not Refreshing After Change
Before recently, any time a change was made to a list row column that a view filter was based on, the items in view would automatically refresh to show the changes. Now the list view doesn't update unless the user refreshes the page in their browser. This is a consistent issue across all lists in the tenant. Our organization has SharePoint lists with a 'Status' column that impacts what items are shown in a view and its hurting productivity when these views aren't updating with new items unless the page is manually refreshed. Is there a new setting that is impacting the ability for filtered views to auto-refresh?Is it possible to add a Power Automate button to Form view
Hello! Is it possible to add a Power Automate button from the list view in a SharePoint list to the Form view? I was hoping that when a line item is open to view, we may be able to add this button onto the Form view as well somehow? Even just as a hyperlink and not a button? Just something clickable.SharePoint Page Copilot Agent Overview | New AI Page Creation in Microsoft 365

Hello, community! I really need your help. I have been working hard on a site in SharePoint, using Microsoft 365 for Business, which is currently in draft mode, and to my frustration, I can no longer access it. After months of dedication and effort, I feel completely powerless in this situation. When I try to click on the site link, I am redirected to a different page, and to make matters worse, an irrelevant file starts downloading automatically. This is extremely frustrating for me, as the site was almost ready to be launched, and now it feels like all my work is at stake. Here are the details of the situation: - Site Link: Accessing the link I used previously simply doesn’t work anymore. - Redirection: When I click, I’m taken to a completely different page. - Automatic Download: A file unrelated to the site is being downloaded to my computer. - Site Status: Everything was finalized and ready for publication, but now I feel out of options. If anyone has experienced something similar or has any idea how I can resolve this issue, I would be eternally grateful. I’m desperate for a solution, and any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you so much for your attention!Quantity of View Per Site
Hi, We are working on a sharepoint sites for a document repository. We are looking at having to create about 100 different views to allow the documents to be filtered and structured in a relevant way for users (using file meta data). I have found online advice that says a recommended limitation is to use no more than 50 views. Have people created more than 50 ? Why is the recommendation to only use 50 ? What issues are we going to run into ? Thanks
Delete the "Shared with us" link on navigation menu for modern sites
Hi everyone! I've tried to remove the lin on the navigation bar called "Shared with us". It appears whenever it wants and disappear... I've read many posts but it looks that no one have tried or want to remove this link. Why? Help!
Central News Help
Hello everyone, I’m looking for guidance on using SharePoint to distribute department updates across multiple locations, with an administrator controlling who sees each update. Our organization uses a dedicated Microsoft Team for each location (27 total). A single update may need to be shared with one location, several locations, or all 27. Conceptually, I have a solid understanding of how this should work, but I’ve run into some practical roadblocks, and Copilot hasn’t quite gotten me where I need to be. Here’s the workflow I’m envisioning: A Department Head submits an update via a Microsoft Form. The form responses are stored in a SharePoint List on a central “News Hub” site. An Admin reviews the submission, makes edits if necessary, selects one or more target locations, and publishes the update. Each update includes a publish date and an expiration date, since these updates are used for monthly meetings at each location. Based on the selected target locations, the update would either: Display on a SharePoint site associated with the corresponding Team(s), or Remain on a centralized News Hub as an additional page that can be embedded on a TEAM channel. The page itself would contain both static content and dynamic monthly updates. The updates should be visible as text only (not clickable), as I want managers to see the information without navigating away from the page. The final output would be embedded into a Teams channel, allowing each location’s manager to see only the updates targeted to their specific office. From my understanding, this aligns with a “hub-and-spoke” news model, using: Microsoft Forms SharePoint Lists Power Automate (triggered when a list item is modified) Logic to route or display updates to the appropriate locations I’d prefer to avoid building a Power App if possible, but I’m open to it if that’s the only viable solution. Also, I have complete rights to the Central News Hub and the Sharepoint and Team site that I am testing on. Any advice, best practices, or examples of similar implementations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.Label Disposition Review Did Not Trigger
I am having an issue where Labels I created did not trigger a disposition review. I setup retention labels to trigger a disposition review after a period of time, published the labels, applied the labels to a set of documents, but I did not receive any email updates on the documents were past the disposition review. I verified these disposition review emails were supposed to go to my email, and also verified that they did not go to any other folder other then my inbox. I verified everything was applied correctly on the labels and documents. Also, I am not able to see the Disposition page under Data Governance. Has anyone had a similar issue, or have more information to help me?File & Media webpart: Powerpoint first slide links aren't clickable
Looking to see if anyone else has this experience/any solutions: You add a File & Media webpart to a SPOnline page, link it to a PowerPoint file. The first slide has a hyperlink, but that link isn't clickable when the page first loads. If you move to another slide, links work correctly, including when you move back to the first slide. Any way to get this functionality to work correctly with the File & Media webpart? Slides work fine when you open in PPT, no amount of recreating the PowerPoint works, but switching to the "Embed" webpart solves the problem.
