Sensitivity Labels with User-Defined Permissions Gain SharePoint Support
Finally, Microsoft solved the technical issues that blocked SharePoint Online support for sensitivity labels with user-defined permissions (UDP). The feature is now generally available and it’s very welcome because support opens access for Office files and PDFs with UDP labels for search and Purview solutions like DLP and eDiscovery. Files with UDP labels applied prior to GA are not processed until they are edited, but that’s reasonable. https://office365itpros.com/2025/08/14/user-defined-permissions-spo/
Seeking Urgent Escalation – Microsoft 365 Case #2508130040008018
I’ve spent days trying to resolve a critical issue with my Office 365 account. Despite multiple attempts via chat, phone, and the support portal, I’ve been unable to reach a human agent or escalate my case. Case Number: #2508130040008018 I’m requesting immediate escalation to a Tier 2 support agent or case manager. The lack of response and reliance on automated systems has created unnecessary delays and frustration. If anyone from Microsoft Support or the community can assist—or knows how to bypass the automation wall—I’d appreciate your help. I’m documenting every step of this process for accountability and transparency. — Steve
How to control which users you see in the Places app
My company is looking into using the Places app. I have buildings, rooms, floors, etc, all setup. This is duplicated from what is already setup for Room Finder in Outlook. We use M365 Business Premium or M365 E5 licenses. Nobody has Teams Premium licenses at this point. Those of us testing have set our working days/hours/location in the Calendar in New Outlook and that shows up fine in Places. I can see the people I favorited and what building they are in (whether it's in New Outlook, Teams or the M365 Copilot Places app. The issue I am having is that I see one user (who I have not favorited) listed every day and I have no idea how to remove this person from my daily Places list. Other people also see this same person in their Places list and some see a different person. I only want to see those people I have favorited and nobody else. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?
How to extract data from Word tables into Excel
Thx！And I was dealing with a bunch of old Word forms filled out over the past decade – inconsistent fields, messy tables. I need to extract the data for each field into Excel for analysis and processing. Is there a good way to do this? I heard about this tool from a friend. Has anyone here used it? Is it good? https://chestnuttable.vercel.app/
Outlook email preview won't display
At first I couldn't click on an email and open it in a new window. Now my email preview does not display at all. I have done nothing new. Downloaded nothing new. I have been successfully using email since I bought the computer six months ago. Have rebooted my computer and reset modem several times. I am able to click on New Email and that window displays.

Shared Word Doc on OneDrive Keeps Overwriting Recent Edits — Anyone Else?
Hey everyone, We’ve been collaborating on a shared Word document saved in OneDrive for Business, and we’ve noticed something odd — every few days, recent edits from one team member just vanish, as if an older version overwrote the live copy. We’ve double-checked: - All collaborators are editing online, not via the desktop app - Version history shows no major conflicts - Autosave is enabled for everyone It’s not happening every time, but often enough to cause problems. Could it be a cache issue, or something related to editing from multiple regions (we’re in 3 time zones)? Has anyone else run into this with co-authoring in OneDrive Word files recently? Would appreciate any insights or suggestions!Microsoft Ignite Switzerland 2024

Dynamic Microsoft 365 Groups come with many advantages, but they also require Entra P1 licenses. This article explores how to create and maintain a DIY version of dynamic Microsoft 365 groups using the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK and Azure Automation. At the end of the day, the principle is proven, but maybe it's best to pay for the licenses. https://practical365.com/diy-dynamic-microsoft-365-group/
