Restrict a library view for document uploader
Want to create a SP library where people will be uploading documents from different departments. Is there a way that i can lockdown a view where anybody coming in can only see their own uploads? Maybe use the last modified column or create a person column? The owner and small group does need the ability to see them all. ty
Unusual Activity for a User
Hi, I have an issue with a user who raised a query that they are having issues syncing files to SharePoint. Whilst I'm investigating this another query came in advising that this same user has been creating folders and uploading documents...... They have confirmed that there account has not been shared and can confirm from the signing in logs on Entra that no suspicious IP address is being used. Anyone have any idea of what is occurring?? I've advised the user to delete any links they have and stop syncing. Regards Chris
SharePoint Document-ID and Chinese characters braking search
I am struggling with a strange phenomenon. We use the Document-ID on SharePoint extensively, especially for searching. So we search specifically for SharePoint Document-IDs, e.g., EMTS-1223334444-123, to find the document. This works fine with 10 million documents, except for PDF documents with Chinese characters. I can search for phrases in the text content or other properties, and everything is found. Only the search by Document-ID does not work.

I have a sharepoint list and some of the items cannot be edited because of the number of versions. I have the versioning set at 50, but some of these uneditable items somehow got up to over 10,000. Any ideas on how to resolve or how they got so high? Thanks
Microsoft 365 Developer Program - Sandbox Eligibility
I was excited to hear all of the buzz around the revamped M365 Dev Program and eligibility for MAICPP participants (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/developer-program/microsoft-365-developer-program) especially for the sandbox subscription benefit: Eligible MAICPP partner levels include: Azure Expert Managed Service Providers (MSP) Solutions Partners Specialization Partners Managed Partners Microsoft Action Pack Subscribers Partner Success Core Benefits Recipients Partner Success Expanded Benefits Recipients Partner Launch Benefits Recipients Legacy Gold/Silver Partners However, when I log into my dashboard (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/profile), it says "you don't currently qualify for..." instead of the experience outlined in the help docs and announcements. Has anyone been able to provision a new M365 sandbox subscription with the new provisioning method? I have reached out to partner support, but they referred me to the dev program alias and nobody there has replied. I have also tried to use my Visual Studio subscription as mentioned in the docs, but that doesn't work either. I did have a developer subscription before the overhaul (active 2-3 years ago) and, as part of trying to get a new sandbox, clicked on the "delete profile" button on my dashboard. Maybe it will "unlock" after the 60 day waiting period (as described in the docs), but this process seems way too difficult...especially with the new "automatic" eligibility check described in the updated process. I'm currently using a prod tenant to do the things that I should be doing in a sandbox, so I hope there is an update that brings clarity to this program soon. Has anyone been able to create a new sandbox since the program was updated last month? Any tips, tricks or contacts that can help with this?
Sharepoint view level permissions
Hello, I’m facing an issue in SharePoint. I have a main list where I need to create two views one for “A” users and another for “B” users. What should change is, for example, that “A” users can only see column “A” and “B” users can only see column “B”. And being sensitive data, they shouldn't be able see each other's columns. Using different lists is the only viable way I currently see this working, which i don't really want since this requires a lot more of work, unless someone can suggest a better solution. Note that currently I'm using two different pages inside the same website for user's "A" and "B". Thank you very much.
Sharepoint Online Templates / Provisioning.
Hello everyone, I have a SharePoint online site that is as close as possible to being a template for my tenant. I'd like to save this site and make it available to me when I need to create a standard site for my tenant. Do you know if there is a possibility to save it and then pick it in the SharePoint list of templates in the creation phase in SharePoint? I know there is a PnP solution; however, after trying it I've had some bad results when trying to use a script with Get-PnPSiteTemplate many times it doesn't replicate the site correctly. I essentially need to take one SharePoint site, and just replicate the structure, DLs, Lists, Views, pages, designs, colours and thumbnails, no files needed. Possibly saving it as a template, but if not possible, just provision it via PnP PowerShell would be enough. Do you have any suggestions or scripts to recommend, or can you point me to any resources?Two global navigation bars?
On the top of any page, I have the top navigation (Using Managed Navigation). But there is also another navigation bar directly below this one (which add a link for 'help') on some of the subsites, libraries, lists, etc. I am pulling out my hair trying to figure out where this is coming from and how to get rid of this. Can anyone help me, please?Automation for downloading an Excel file from SharePoint using the Microsoft 365 Cloud SDK
Hello, I’m working on an automation in SAP Build Process Automation using the Microsoft 365 Cloud SDK. The automation is designed to automatically download an Excel file uploaded to SharePoint and send it by email to a list of recipients every day. I am using to this the following tutorial: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/spa-office-integration-agent..html The automation from the tutorial works, but I’d like to customize it a bit - for example, to make sure it always downloads the most recent Excel file if there are multiple files on the SharePoint site. However, I’m not sure how to adjust some of the parameters. I haven't found any other tutorials for that. I haven’t been able to find any other tutorials covering this scenario. I started with the activity Get Remote File Information, but I am not sure if it is a right direction. I don't know also how I should fill the field Output Paramters, if the activity is correct. Could anyone please help or point me in the right direction?Microsoft Lists
Just been looking into Lists in SharePoint and find its great how you can make it look and function great, very pleasing to use. I like how you can have version history on items too and also if someone did delete the list you can restore it. But what if you want to restore if from backup, what if someone deletes a column. I use AvePoint backup and it doesn't show the list as a list when i restore. It just shows a spreadsheet. I cannot then paste the spreadsheet into an empty list because some fields like People and multiple choice do not format correctly from the spreadsheet back into a list. Is it just AvePoint or are there solutions to backup Microsoft Lists and restore them as a list. I cannot see going forward with lists if you cannot restore from backup. ThanksIssue with ribbon permissions in Microsoft Project.
I am working on Microsoft Project (EPM) and want to hide the Status button from the ribbon for the Project Manager role. I have already tried adjusting the permissions in PWA settings, but the button is still visible. Could you please suggest an alternative method?
Accessing Page Properties as filter for a List (List Web Part or Embed Web Part, or other)
Hello... I've unsuccessfully scoured the web for an answer to this question, so I apologize if the answer is out there and I just can't get this to work. I have found a number of potential solutions that didn't seem to pan out, so I figured I'd start at the top and see if what I am is possible. Some "simplified" background (capitalized and quoted words refer to Sharepoint content entities) I have a standard set of management tools in the form of "Lists"; Action Items, Risk Management, Deliverables for example. These "Lists" contain the data for all projects in the organization. Each project has its own Sharepoint "Page" on the organization Sharepoint site. Should note these are "Teams" Site/Pages. Objective is to have a template page that can be copied when a new Project is started and limit the amount of manual configuration. Each data "List" has a common key - Project. In each list, the Project is a "Lookup" field that gets its value from a separate Project "List". I didn't want to use a "Choice" field since multiple "Lists" draw from the same set of Projects and thus limiting duplicative adding of projects when a new Project starts. What I want to do is include each "List" on a Project specific "Page" and since the lists contain data for all Projects I want to filter the list based on the Project field in the list. If I add the "List" as a "List Web Part", the only filtering capability is "Dynamic Filtering" which connects a filter field to something selected in another library or list on the page. With the "List Web Part" it seems the only solution is to have a "List View" preconfigured in the "List" specific for each Project and then the "View" can be selected in the "List Web Part" settings. This solution, although it works, is not ideal since for each new program we would have to create a new "View" in each "List" for the new Project and, after copying the template "Page" edit the "View" field of every list on the page. What I would like to do is key the filtering of the "Lists" based on the active Project "Page". I have added a Project field to the "Page Properties" and set the field to the Project name that is in the Project list to potentially use as the filter key value in filtering the "Lists". But I can't figure out how to make use of the "Page Property" in any of the web parts, whether trying to leverage json in some circumstances, or other potential solutions. I have tried various things using the "List" view formatting. The "View" filtering capability doesn't let you filter based on a "Lookup" field, but even if I did, I would still have to figure out how to reference the "Page" property that identifies the Project. I think the closest I have come is trying to use the "</> Embed Web Part". I can add this web part and set the website address to "https://....../Lists/AIList/AllItems.aspx?FilterField1=Project&FilterValue1=ProjectA" and it will populate the web part with the list filtered to only show the items associated with ProjectA. But what I want is to set the FilterValue1 to the Project "Page Property". I have seen references to page properties in various posts using @{Page.Project} (for example) or [$Page.Project] or perhaps other forms for various purposes, none of which have worked either in this "Embed Web Part" or attempts I have made in other potential solutions using json to try to control what is displayed. Sorry for the long post, but if anyone knows a way to achieve the desired effect it would be very much appreciated.Export list of users with unique permissions
Hello community, The context: We have a document library with 30 000 items. We broke inheritance and set up special permissions for some of them. Now we have about 30 items with special permissions that can be listed in Sharepoint Online. See the picture below. What we want: We want to get list of user on each item now. How can we do that? The output should look like this item1 - user 1 item1 - user 2 item1 - user 3 item1 - group 1 item1 - group 2 item 2 - user 1 item 2 - user 5 ... The idea We will write powershell script But can we identify items with special permissions the same way Sharepoint does it in the picture? How? How to use the API correctly because we cannot list each item (30k) in Sharepoint for performace reasons right? Related topics maybe?

Not able to use "(" - opening bracket in SharePoint Online Webpart
I have an SPO site where I am creating multiple pages. Every single page prevents me from typing an opening/left parenthesis. I can type a closing parenthesis no problem. I've cleared my cache and restarted. It began recently - probably around the same time as the update where a closing parenthesis/quotation appears when you type an opening one.SharePoint Designer 2013 is deprecated
I am not sure that this topic has been discussed before. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/what-s-new/what-s-deprecated-or-removed-from-sharepoint-server-subscription-edition According to this page the, July 14, 2026 after that date, SharePoint Designer 2013 will no longer be supported. But it looks like we still can create a publish workflows? Does any body have suggestion for 3. Parties’ solution for that. Did checked Nintex K2 and its very expensive. We just have 10 workflows send email with content in body. And one approval workflow. Any solution i can create with SPFX or in SP to have this opportunity to create WF. I know about VS but there are not that simple.Making a FAQ using lists need help with json formatting colors
So I was following a tutorial on Youtube on how to make a FAQ list but I cant get the formatting right. There are 4 columns in this list Title, Question, Answer, Show More Basically I have it grouped by title and then grouped by question The problem is the as you can see in the screenshot below the title and question are all the same color I want them to be a different color.
