Integrated - PowerApps Customized Form - not working
Hi, The Power App customised form is not being retrieved. When the user selects the 'Add new item' button a customised form should open, but getting this pop up. Does anyone know if there are any issues with SharePoint Online and this will hopefully resolve itself or any other potential solution as to why this is occurring. It was working yesterday
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?

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.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
🚀 Create SharePoint Pages Without Even Opening SharePoint? Yes — It’s Finally Here. Microsoft has introduced the SharePoint Page Copilot Agent, a new declarative AI agent that lets you create and refine SharePoint pages directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot experiences like Teams, Outlook, and Word.

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.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 ? ThanksVisualizing SharePoint List Relationships as ER Diagrams
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.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.Desperate for Help: Access Issues with Draft Site on SharePoint
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!Making list form anonymous
I had tried microsoft Forms, but because if the user attaches anything I get notified defeating the purpose of making any submissions anonymous. Decided to use 2 list with a power automate. first list is an intake that gets deleted, the second will have me as the creator for all submissions. Used the list form for the first time, and when in the preview i get the message "Hi nerdy, when you submit this form, the owner will see your email and name." There a way to remove that disclaimer? or set the form to not record? did not see an option to try and suppress the information. Next plan is to do a powerapp submission. thank you
Configuring PnP Search
Hi all. I have a specific requirement and can't figure out if it is possible. I have two pages. First page is a home page. I just want one clean Search Box here. Now I want the search query to feed a second Search Box web part on the second page. The second page has a Search box, Search Results and Refiner web parts. Is this possible?
Document libraries added programmatically as tabs to Shared Channels are not visible
With the recent Teams UX updates, any document libraries added programmatically to Shared Channels no longer appear in the Teams interface even though they do show up when queried through PowerShell. Following the guidance in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-configuring-builtin-tabs%22https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-configuring-builtin-tabs%22https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-configuring-builtin-tabs%22https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/teams-configuring-builtin-tabs%22as well as the approaches I outlined in my blog post https://reshmeeauckloo.com/posts/powershell-teams-add-documentlibrary-as-tab/%22https://reshmeeauckloo.com/posts/powershell-teams-add-documentlibrary-as-tab/%22 using Microsoft Graph or PnP PowerShell, the tabs still fail to surface in the new Teams experience. The behaviour is inconsistent: The same tab‑creation methods work perfectly in standard channels. They also work for users who haven’t yet received the new Teams UX. And if the document libraries are added manually, they appear as expected in shared channels. At the moment, I’m trying to determine whether there is a supported way to add document library tabs to shared channels programmatically so that they remain visible in the new Teams interface. Any insights or confirmed workarounds would be appreciated.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... Ling. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/file-type-version-limitsRenaming a folder with too many files
One of our teams has a Team/SharePoint site with an archive folder. Everything in there is old files, and they'd like to rename the folder. However, we get the error that it exceeds the list view threshold. I've spent the afternoon trying to find out how to get this folder renamed and so far nothing has worked. The general consensus is to create a filtered view, but I'm not sure what to filter it based on, as all of the files have been there and untouched for some time, causing most of the columns I could index be fairly similar (they were moved to SharePoint 3 years ago from an on-prem fileshare). One of the options I'd seen was to sync it using OneDrive and rename it locally but that still gave me the same error. I also tried renaming the folder from within Teams without success. If someone could provide some guidance for how to get this done, I'd appreciate it. Right now, I'm thinking I'll just have to move a bunch of stuff out of some of the folders to temporary locations, but even that is challenging as I'm not aware of a good way to get a count of items in folders and subfolders in SharePoint to know which are the best ones to move out.Sharepoint List - Filter on multi-select name column always displays no results
Hi all, When trying to filter my sharepoint list, I am experiencing issues for one specific column. The filter displays options as expected, listing all of the individuals that are present in that column, but upon selecting any single one or multiple of them, the result swaps to 'We didn't find anything to show here'. Specifically, when filtering the issue-column on the option of (Empty), it does filter successfully, so it is clearly experiencing issues with the names themselves. From what I can tell, there are no settings applied to the issue-column that would prevent it from filtering, so I'm expecting this to be a bug of some sorts. Looking for people who have had the same issue and/or have found a solution for this. Context: - It is certain that the names used to filter should return multiple results - List does not contain many entries and does not expand beyond list limits - Column in scope is a multi-select column pulling the microsoft IDs from all individuals as options - Another exact duplicate of this same column is present (for a different purpose), for which filtering works without issue - All other columns filter as expected
