Intermittent failures when creating new libraries in modern SharePoint
Hi everyone, I’m seeing an issue in our modern SharePoint Online site collection where creating new document libraries has started failing. This site has worked normally for years, but over the past week, most library creation attempts haven't worked. 1) The page briefly flashes or glitches during the creation process. and 2) A non‑ending spinning wheel when I hit "create" or 3) Creation attempts return “Something's not right.” error page. The failures happen across all subsites, in multiple browsers, and I’m a Site Collection Administrator. No permission changes were made recently. Has anyone seen similar intermittent library creation failures in a modern site collection, or know what might cause this kind of inconsistent behavior? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Issue to move folders
Hello everyone. This is my first post here. I'm facing an issue where I'm unable to move folders. This started after the last SharePoint update. For example, as shown below, I cannot move folder 1 into folder 2. Inheritance policies and read/edit security groups have already been changed, and nothing changed. Anyone else experiencing this? Thank you for the community helping here.
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.

In several SharePoint-based projects, I encountered the same challenge. As solutions grow, list relationships become increasingly difficult to understand. This is especially true in environments with multiple lookup columns, implicit relational structures, and long-lived tenant environments where schemas evolve over time. Although SharePoint provides rich metadata, there is no built-in way to visualize list relationships as an ER diagram. To explore this problem, I built a small browser extension that extracts list and column metadata from a SharePoint site, detects lookup relationships, and generates PlantUML-based ER diagram code. It can also export structured definitions to Excel. The goal is not only diagram generation, but improving architectural visibility, impact analysis during schema changes, documentation quality in long-term projects, and migration planning such as moving SharePoint lists to Dataverse. I am particularly interested in how other developers document SharePoint list structures in larger environments. The extension itself is available here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sharepoint-erd-generator/nbjfcilmndpofckndmcadgfcacadgeak I would appreciate any feedback or discussion around approaches to SharePoint schema documentation.
Multiple Page Libraries on site
Hi everyone I have a strange issue that I haven't come across before. A customer has got an old subsite on SharePoint Online that was created with the STS#0 template (classic Team Site with no group) and they want to modernise their old wiki pages. This should have been straightforward as I was planning on using the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/transform/modernize-userinterface-site-pages-powershell. However, on this site they have two page libraries - the standard Site Pages library and then what looks like a custom page library (I've blanked out the name of the custom library as it contains the company name): All of the pages they want to modernize are in the custom library but the issue with this is that the only content type available is Wiki Page: This means that although the PnP PowerShell runs successfully against pages in this library, the new versions don't actually appear in the library. I assume this is because the modern Site Page content type isn't available in the library. I was under the impression that a site could only have one page library so I'm not sure how this site has the two. On a more urgent note I need to work out the best way of modernizing these pages. Currently the only way I can see is using Power Automate to copy the pages to the Site Pages library and then convert them there. The only issue with that is that there are links within the pages to other pages so I'd need to go through them and fix these once they've been moved. here are over 300 pages so I don't really want to do this. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way forward with this. Also, if you know how there are multiple page libraries I'd be keen to hear it as I haven't come across this before. Thanks in advance for your help.Set Default Page Template SharePoint Online?
Hello, I have been running into difficulty setting my page template as the default page template. In tutorial videos I watch, there seems to be an option to do this: However, on my site, there is no option like this. Has this feature been removed, or how might I access this? Thanks! (See below, no 3 dots for options, on the following page, only drop down option is to create a private draft). I am a site owner, if that helps with troubleshooting.Broken SharePoint list indexes across multiple tenants
a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; } Hello everyone, I’m looking for community input on an issue we are seeing with SharePoint list indexes across multiple tenants. Over the past two weeks, we have received many reports of views, search, CSOM, and REST queries missing items. After investigation, we found that the root cause appears to be broken list indexes. This is not isolated to a single list or tenant. We are seeing the same behavior on multiple lists, across multiple sites, in multiple tenants. In all cases, indexed columns stop behaving correctly. The only workaround we have found is to remove and recreate the index. However, this becomes very problematic when “Enforce unique values” is enabled. If a list contains more than 5,000 items, this option cannot be re‑enabled without drastic steps, such as temporarily removing items from the list. Example scenario We have a list with about 25,000 items and a Text column called Identifier, which is indexed and has Enforce unique values enabled. This list has worked perfectly for years but started failing last week. Users are now seeing the following issues: Duplicate Identifiers can be added without any warning, even though unique values are enforced. Filtering or searching by Identifier does not return results. CSOM and REST queries filtering on Identifier fail to find existing items. Previously, all of this worked without issue. Main question My understanding was that indexed columns should work correctly, even when the total list size exceeds 5,000 items, as long as the result set is below the list view threshold. However, Microsoft support has indicated that once a list exceeds 5,000 items, correct results cannot be guaranteed, even when filtering on indexed columns. If this is truly “by design,” it would severely limit the usefulness of SharePoint lists and libraries, as exceeding 5,000 items is very common. I’d really appreciate hearing: Whether others are seeing the same behavior If this is truly expected / by design Any better workarounds or official guidance If you know of clear documentation on this topic, please share it. At the moment, our only reliable fallback is retrieving all items and filtering in memory, which is far from ideal. Thanks in advance!Post SPFX webpart deployment - JS conflictings
Hi, I am working on the Classic SharePoint Online project. I need to migrate the Provider hosted apps to SPFX. Most of the functionality has been implemented using HTML and Javascript. Using Javascript Provided hosted app methods are being called directly on SharePoint Page. Huge client side scripts are written. I have migrated all the provider hosted apps code to Asp.net web api and deployed in Azure. I have configured Azure AD authentication on top. I am using SPFX webpart which is consuming the APIs and returning the values. SPFX methods are exposed to be accessible via external js. I deployed the SPX app in Sharepoint classic pages. Some Page it is working fine. On some webpart it experiencing error : Something went wrong If the problem persists, contact the site administrator and give them the information in Technical Details. Technical Details I checked in browser console seeing error : Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module: function(){return A} https://requirejs.org/docs/errors…, stage: 'Load'} requireModules: undefined requireType: "mismatch" message: "Mismatched anonymous define() module: function(){return A}\nhttps://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#mismatch" stack: "Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module: function(){return A}\nhttps://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#mismatch\n at makeError (eval at e [[Prototype]]: Object error: Error: Mismatched anonymous define() module: function(){return A} https://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#mismatch at makeError (eval at e stage: "Load" [[Prototype]]: Object How can i fix it?

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?Unable to get image in SP list smaller (JSON format)
Hi, I have a list of which the items are supplied by a powerapp. For a column that should show an image the powerapps supplies the url and the the column is formatted using JSON. The image jpg file is in a sharepoint document library. { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "img", "style": { "background-color": "none", "width": "50px", "height": "50px" }, "attributes": { "src": "@currentField" } } I would now want to make the image smaller. If I change both height and width to "25px" the image just gets 50% narrower, height stays the same (narrowing the image) . Also editing the underlying jpg file to half the size doesn't solve this, the image just gets coarser (due to less pixels/same size). How can I solve this?
