How are you creatively working around the SharePoint List View Threshold
Hi community I'm looking for outside-the-box approaches to dealing with the SharePoint List View Threshold (5,000 item limit). I'm familiar with the standard guidance, indexed columns, filtered views, folders, but I'm curious how others have solved this more creatively, especially in M365/SharePoint Online environments where you can't raise the threshold from the admin side. Additionally, if you've tackled this in a healthcare, government, or other highly regulated environment where you couldn't just move to an external database easily. Would love to hear what's worked (and what's blown up) in practice. Thanks in advance!Solved170Views1like3Comments
How to show folder path for documents in a flat SharePoint library view
I have a document library with a multi-level folder structure that is somewhat complex. I created a view that removes folders and displays all documents in a flat structure (no folders shown). How can I display or indicate the folder path (or location) for each document in this flat view, so users can understand where each file is stored within the original folder hierarchy?Solved142Views0likes2CommentsFiltering on Events web part
It would be great to get the same filtering options for the Events web part in SharePoint modern as you get in the News web part. This would really help to be able to quickly show targeted events across different pages. Is this a development possibility?Solved104Views0likes3CommentsUpdated design for collapsible sections SharePoint
We're seeing an updated design for collapsible sections in SharePoint as of today. The control arrow for the section now appears either over ("Left") or under ("Right") the header. Is this intentional? If it's not intentional - I presume that the arrow should appear either to the left or right of the header, not over or under and this may be fixed soon. If it's intentional - please change this so that we have the option that it is actually to the left or right of the header! The extra space that is showing right now ruins the look of the design, and it's confusing which arrow belongs to which header.Solved245Views0likes3Comments
Collapsible section icon alignment no longer respected – recent SharePoint change?
Hi all, I’m looking to validate whether others are seeing a recent change to collapsible sections on modern SharePoint pages. Across multiple communication sites in our environment, the expand/collapse icon is no longer rendering inline with the section heading, despite the settings being configured correctly (e.g. alignment set to “Right”). Instead, the icon is now: appearing below the heading defaulting to the left-hand side ignoring the alignment setting in the section properties This change appears to have happened “overnight” and is consistent across all sites we’ve checked, not just a single page or site. Impact We rely heavily on collapsible sections for: knowledge guides FAQ-style content onboarding materials The current behaviour is: increasing vertical spacing unnecessarily reducing scan-ability of pages creating inconsistency between existing and newly rendered content It’s also causing confusion for content authors, as the settings no longer reflect what is displayed. Questions Is anyone else seeing the same behaviour across their tenant? Has this been confirmed as a design change vs a bug? Has anyone found a workaround or mitigation approach? I have already raised this and upvoted it on the Microsoft Feedback Portal and would encourage everyone to do the same if they are experiencing this issue. I'd rather not have to change the design across multiple SharePoint site - an enormous amount of work. Thanks!Solved330Views6likes3Comments
Search Box Scope of Standard sites in SP Online Tenant
Hello All, I am going to set home site for a SharePoint Online tenant in few days. I will be doing so using the below command Set-PnPHomeSite -HomeSiteUrl "https://sharepoint.com" I need to confirm below mentioned query. After setting the home site what will be the behavior of the search bar of a standard SharePoint site, which is not a home site. I am referring to the sites other than home site in the same tenant. Note: On Microsoft documentation it says the scope of the search bar in the home site will be extended to the whole tenant, which is fine. But the standard site (not the home site) search bar should not have scope of whole tenant. Please share your thoughts on this and let me know what will be the scope of Standard site search bar. Thanks in advance.Solved91Views0likes3Comments
News Web Part post by page
Is there a way to use the News Web part at a page level not site level? I want some pages to each have unique news posts and not have them all show up for every page on the site with the News web part. If I can't do this with web parts is there another approach for an end user to update the content on their page like this? thanks in advanceSolved87Views0likes1Comment
Saving MS Form with many question responses to SharePoint
Hi, A department wants to save responses received from a MS Form to a SharePoint list. When I received the MS Form to create the columns in the SP list, noted there was 115 questions. Most of them are a Yes / No answer and a few where comments have been asked for. Then a Flow will need to be created. Firstly - This is too many questions. Secondly - Would SharePoint be the best place to store these answers knowing that an Excel spreadsheet is created for the responses? Thirdly - As the MS Form will be used regularly and responses coming in Day and Night is there another solution. The results will be used to Analyse the results using PowerBI.Solved184Views0likes2CommentsHow do I make a main hubsite link available on every SharePoint page and site?

SharePoint ACS Retirement – Guidance Needed for Migration to Azure AD / Graph or Better if Available
We have an integration between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (AL) and SharePoint Online for uploading and accessing files in document libraries. Current Implementation App Registration & Permissions App created using: /_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx Permissions granted via: /_layouts/15/appinv.aspx → “Trust It” Current permission (overly broad): <AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true"> <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection/tenant" Right="FullControl" /> </AppPermissionRequests> Authentication (ACS Token) We generate access tokens using: POST https://accounts.accesscontrol.windows.net/{tenant-id}/tokens/OAuth/2 SharePoint API Usage We are using SharePoint REST API: Upload file: POST https://<org>.sharepoint.com/sites/<site>/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/<site>/Shared Documents')/Files/add(url='file.pdf',overwrite=true) Download / read files: GET https://<org>.sharepoint.com/sites/<site>/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/<site>/Shared Documents')/Files... Questions After April 2026, will existing ACS-based integrations completely stop working, or only new registrations will be blocked? What is the recommended modern approach for this scenario: Continue using SharePoint REST API with Azure AD token OR migrate fully to Microsoft Graph API If we switch to Azure AD authentication: Can we continue using existing _api/web/... endpoints? Or is Graph API mandatory? What is the best way to restrict access to a single SharePoint site (avoid tenant-wide permissions like FullControl)? For Business Central (AL), is there any recommended approach or pattern for: Generating Azure AD tokens (client credentials flow) Calling SharePoint / Graph APIs securely Any guidance, best practices, or migration examples would be highly appreciated. If possible pls share some Blogs or resource when this overall new process is explain so that i can can a hit and start the development.Solved307Views0likes5CommentsSharePoint List (Not Column) Validation Settings
I have an creating a list that keeps of the amount of hours taken by an employee. I have two columns in this list - Reason & Hours If the Reason column value is 'Paid - Vacation' or 'Unpaid Vacation', then the value of Hours must be greater than 1 and less than 11. I have gone to the List > Settings > Validation settings and tried a few different formulas: =IF(AND([Reason]="Paid - Vacation",[Reason]="Unpaid - Vacation"),IF([Hours]>0,IF([Hours]<11,TRUE,FALSE),FALSE),TRUE) =IF(AND([Reason]="Paid - Vacation",[Reason]="Unpaid - Vacation"),IF([Hours]>0,IF([Hours]<11,TRUE)),TRUE) I don't get any errors when saving either formula. When I enter another record manually or using the form, the record is entered, but no validation is being made when the [Reason] = "Paid - Vacation" and [Hours] = 45 Can anyone assist with this?Solved142Views0likes1Commentsharepoint 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?

I found a post similar to this from 2022 that said this issue had been resolved. I have used this trigger successfully in the past but am creating a new flow. When I use the content understanding trigger, it never fires in test mode or when published. I do see that the "date classified" on my SharePoint library is set to GMT instead of my local timezone and was wondering if that could be the issue. Anyone have suggestions on how to troubleshoot? I did try the "when a file is created" just to test if any trigger fires on this doc library and it fires successfully.Solved253Views0likes3CommentsSharePoint esignautre request via Power Automate
