Gallery view: horizontal scrolling?
I have a gallery view on a list with grouping. Currently, each group will be shown across multiple rows within the boundaries of the spCardContainer element. I want to display each card within a group on a single "line" with a horizontal scrollbar. I know I have options in CSS using (perhaps) flex-wrap, but I could use some help putting it together in JSON for my formatting. Who can help?
Trouble adding and indexing a new column to a large SharePoint document library (threshold 5000)
I need assistance adding a new column to a SharePoint document library. The library contains more than 5,000 items, and when I attempt to create the column via the Microsoft Graph API I receive an error stating that the list view threshold of 5,000 has been exceeded. Oddly, when this error occurs the column still appears in the library, but it is not indexed. Any attempt to update the column definition to set indexed = true fails for the same threshold reason. Is there an alternative way to create and index this column programmatically? Manually adding the index through the SharePoint UI works, but that is not feasible for our use case — we need a repeatable, automated solution that can be applied across many customers. Thanks.
How to make News Post notification from SharePoint to Teams work?
Hi, I need help to make the notifications from news post work. I am experiencing issues where not all employees receive a notification in Teams when a new news post is published in SharePoint Online. From what I understand, it does not matter whether employees are following a site or not. I would like to ensure that everyone receives a notification every time.
Restoring overwritten file by Power Automate
I'd like to know there's any way to restore file which is overwritten by the automation workflow. File is copied from another folder in document library to another folder by overwriting. As I've checked activity of its folder, it shows that workflow deleted the previous file before creating new file. The action in the workflow Currently, I've tried to restore from Microsoft Purview but it doesn't work. Also, these's no anything in recycle bin or second bin. And file doesn't have any version history because it new created one. Thank you in advance for any response, either good or not.
Sharepoint List - New Item displays data from previous form submission
Hi All. I have set up a Sharepoint List. I used a customised form using power apps. I have a slight issues that is annoying me. Here is sequence of events: Edit and submit an existing list item using the power apps form. After submitting updates, the list reloads - i would like to create a new list item, so i select "+ Add New Item" button When the form loads, the fields are pre-populated with input from the previous list item Currently, i have to abandon the new item, refresh the brower and try again (this now loads as expected with clear fields). Question: Is there any functionality that will "refresh" the page following a edit to an existing list item rather than a manual refresh. I can see users within the organisation getting frustrated with it if they are not aware they have to manually refresh before adding a new item to the list. Many thanks CallumAccessing Teams Private Channels Files in SharePoint
Is there an issue currently with accessing Teams Private Channel files in SharePoint? I have looked but cannot find anything. Recently our users that used to access Teams Private channel files within SharePoint (by going to the sharepoint site and Documents and then In Channels) have noticed that when they click a folder it doesn't take them into a file list, it just does nothing. If they then press F5 to refresh it will usually take them into the list of files. Accessing the files with Teams is fine still, only an issue if you use SharePoint. I've tried this on a few other sites within our Tennant and it happens on our other sites too.
Stock images -- insert or change not working
We are a GCC cloud client. Starting Tuesday, we are no longer able to add images or change images while accessing from the Stock Images option. When we click stock images, the app sits and spins and then throws an error "Your search didn't match any content. Please try another term". Does matter what the term is, it doesn't resolve. Prior to this, when clicking stock images, the window would open with images where we could then filter, etc. Now nothing will show not matter what. I am a SharePoint admin, we have also tried with Site owners and on different browsers with cache cleared. We did submit a ticket with MS, but response has been slow. Anyone else experiencing this?VAPT issue raised for CKEditor 4.13.0 Cross-Site Scripting

We are facing 2 issues, but i suspect its related. OS is server 2025. Patches are current. We applied the sharepoint upgrade: KB5002784 yesterday. At that time we discovered psconfig failed to complete. Initially it was due to a problem with the sharepoint admin service. Of note it would not start. I found this to be a problem with windows exploit protection. Exempting the exe associated with the admin service fixed this and the service now starts. PSconfig still fails, its failing at the spcopysidebyside step. of note the sidebyside log that the error references is never created. additionally running the spcopysidebyside powershell script, and specifiying a log file location also results in no log being created. i suspect this may be another windows exploit protection exemption that needs to be created. at this time im not sure what one is required, nor how this is not effecting all installs vs just ours.
Cannot Apply Sensitivity Label to PDF File No Encryption Present
Hi all, I am facing an issue when trying to apply a sensitivity label to a PDF file stored in SharePoint. The error message I get is: Error: Sensitivity label cannot be applied at this time due to the nature of file's encryption. However, I can open the PDF file normally, and it does not seem to be password-protected in any way. Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a way to apply a sensitivity label to such files? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
TopicHeader (Text Above Title) Not Updating in SharePoint Online
Previously, I was updating the "OData_TopicHeader" property in Power Automate, and it correctly displayed as the Topic Header (text above the title) on the page. However, although the property is still being updated successfully, it no longer appears on the page as expected. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or is there an updated approach required to ensure the Topic Header displays correctly? Any insights would be appreciated.TopicHeader (Text Above Title) Not Updating in SharePoint Online

I need to export my SharePoint calendar exactly as it appears in the Calendar view, including all events for each day, without collapsing into "+X more." Currently, SharePoint does not provide a built-in feature to export the calendar in its visual month/week layout. I am looking for a solution or workaround that allows me to: Export all events while preserving the calendar layout (month/week view). Ensure no events are hidden or collapsed. Use methods such as connecting the calendar to Outlook for export/print, Power Automate to generate a report, or other feasible options. My goal is to have a complete calendar view outside of SharePoint for reporting or sharing purposes.SharePoint Calendar View Events Collapsing into “+X More” Instead of Displaying All
In the SharePoint calendar (Month view), when a specific date has more than two events, the system only displays the first two events in the day cell and collapses the remaining items into a "+X more" link. This limits visibility, as users must click to view additional events instead of seeing them directly in the calendar grid. We need a solution or customization to allow all events for a single day to be displayed within the calendar view without collapsing into +X more.
Quick Links “Button” layout drawers stuck open on modern SharePoint page
We’re using the Quick Links web part in Button layout on a modern SharePoint Online page. Normally, the label “drawer” only appears when you hover over the button. Recently, the drawers under all buttons are stuck permanently open (see red lines below marking the title drawers that I want to disappear). We must use the Button layout for our design standards, so switching to another layout is not an option Our IT team says there’s no HTML/CSS toggle to control this, and publishing an older page version would undo recent changes without guaranteeing a fix Rebuilding the web part isn’t realistic since we don’t have all the original links and images. This has happened before, but usually it “clears up” after some time — this time it’s persistent. Has anyone else run into this? Is this a known regression with Button layout, and is there a fix? Any guidance would be appreciated.Having issues with SPFx isolation build lately
Hello We have a customer using an isolation version of our product and when we built a new version last week, it stopped working with below error. Unfortunately, once we install the new build, replacing with the older ones that used to work stopped working and showing the same error. "authorize:90 Unsafe attempt to initiate navigation for frame with origin 'https://xxxx.sharepoint.com' from frame with URL 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/..........'. The frame attempting navigation of the top-level window is sandboxed, but the flag of 'allow-top-navigation' or 'allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation' is not set" We would really appreciate how to handle these errors. Thanks VijayDisable presence in SharePoint Online file viewer - anyone got Roadmap ID419814 working?
Hi All - Happy September! We publish sensitive internal content (e.g., salary scales) in SharePoint Online for easy, up-to-date access. The issue: when hundreds of colleagues open the read-only Word/Excel files, they can see each other’s presence and live cursors. This also happens on externally shared links, exposing colleague names. Naturally our HR SLT are concerned about this behaviour. Workarounds tried We created read-only variants of the Word/Excel files, which initially suppressed presence indicators. However, we’re now seeing the unwanted presence behaviour again on those read-only files. This seems to have changed in the past few days. We saw Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 419814 (“Disable presence in the file viewer”) referenced last year, which sounded like exactly what we need. Unfortunately, we’ve not been able to make this work in testing, and our configuration options seem limited. The SPO code we used was: Set-SPOSite -Identity https://tenant.com/sites/sitename -HidePeoplePreviewingFiles $true Ask to the community Has anyone actually received this feature and confirmed it works at tenant/site level? If yes, how are you enabling it (SharePoint Admin Centre setting, PowerShell, PNP, policy, or feature flag)? Does it reliably suppress both presence rings and live cursors for: internal viewers with view-only permissions; and externally shared links (including cases where the viewer is authenticated as a guest vs. anonymous)? Are there any link type or site sharing policy dependencies (e.g., “People in your organisation” vs. “Anyone with the link”) that change the behaviour? Any browser/client caveats you’ve seen (Word/Excel for the web vs. desktop, mobile, or embedded viewers)? If roadmap ID419814 isn’t viable, what sustainable alternatives have you used that don’t force us into static, less accessible PDFs? We’d really like to avoid pushing users to download static PDFs for accessibility, versioning and user experience reasons. Ideally, we want: If anyone has got this working, I’d really appreciate a short call or DM to compare notes and replicate your setup. Many thanks tony
How to hide Command bar in Sharepoint using SPFX Extension without CSS injection?
I know there are similar questions on the Internet. But none of it have the solution that I am looking for. I want to hide few action buttons (New, Edit in Grid View, Add shortcut to OneDrive, Pin to Quick Access, Share, etc.) in SharePoint Command bar using SPFX extensions. enter image description here I know it can be achieved by injecting custom CSS with display: none property. But the problem is, in case in future if Microsoft updates the html element then this solution might break. Another approach is to use JSON Formatting. But this needs to be done from SharePoint UI or by calling the SharePoint API to apply the JSON formatting. But I don't want to do this. Initially my approach was: Access the command button like const newCommand: Command = this.tryGetCommand("newComposite"); newCommand.visible = false But I am getting undefined when I access it. Is there any way to hide the command buttons from the code itself using SPFX extension.Sensitive documents globally announced to non permitted members
Who decided that exposing what files members were currently working on available organisation wide at any permission level was a good thing? If on a SharePoint Site and you have a member of leadership added their profile into the People widget and then any member including those with the lowest permission were to click on that leadership profile it exposes what "Recent files and email attachments..." that person has been working on. From an HR perspective this is an absolute nightmare to have discovered! A similar issue was found on the home page that again exposes this level of detail which was more obvious and we closed down promptly - seriously Microsoft what were you devs thinking adding this by default!
