New Landing Pages for Word, Excel and PowerPoint (rant)
So I found out this week that MS is piloting new landing pages for the core Office apps (again). Instead of loading in the M365 Home page, they now load in an entirely new page. Why was this necessary? We've already been here before and MS spent years moving everything to the Home app. The dust has finally settled and things are working great. Why move things out again?Replacing Litigation Holds with an eDiscovery Case
Litigation holds were great when introduced with Exchange 2010. Fifteen years on, better methods exist to preserve user information, like eDiscovery holds. It might seem unnatural to move from litigation holds to eDiscovery cases, but this approach allows the preservation of both mailbox and OneDrive content for as long as necessary. Retention policies can serve the same purpose, so choice exists for modern preservation. https://office365itpros.com/2025/04/24/litigation-hold-ediscovery/"Rating" field from a Form to a SharePoint List
How does one get a "Rating" field (using stars format) get pushed into a SharePoint list field? Using flow to push through the various fields of the form, but I can't find the right format for the SharePoint list field that needs to accept the "Rating" value.
[Mac] PowerPoint does not accept decimal numbers in format pane
Hi, I'm using PowerPoint for Mac version 16.78.3 (23102801) and I'm trying to define a new position for a shape using the formate shape functionality. Unfortunately, PowerPoint does not accept any decimal number. For example, if I change the current value to "7,5 cm" and hit enter, the number always changes to "0". It doesn't make a difference if I change the decimal separator to "." - that won't work as well. Is there a solution for this issue? Best, Laurids
Migrating Data from SharePoint Space to Mesh
I just found out that SharePoint Space is being depreciated. The replacement is Mesh for 3D call environments.... So I have SharePoint Space that I would like to preserve. It's for employees to tour office spaces virtually and it took a long time to make. I have a few questions. Is Mesh standalone or included in MS 365? Is there an extra charge? Is there a simple way to migrate Sharepoint Space data to Mesh? Are there other alternatives besides Mesh? Thank youAn Account Blocked by MACE Credential Revocation is A Good Way to Start a Saturday Morning
The last thing you want on a Saturday morning is to find that Entra ID has blocked your account because of leaked credentials. Even though the account is protected by MFA, it’s still important to remediate the event by changing its password. A check against some beta sign-in metrics shows that no one has tried to use the leaked credentials, so that’s good. https://office365itpros.com/2025/04/21/leaked-credentials-sign-in-metrics/Power Automate Flow moving Attachments in Email to MS List - can it get a Email as an attachment?
Created a Flow to get Emails from Outlook using Graph API to extract all metadata into columns in a MS List including attachments of the Email into a column in the MS List with the name as a hyperlink in the same site as the list; but when there is another Email as an attachment it does not come into the MS List. Is there such a limitation in MS Flow where it cannot get the Email attached in an Email as an Attachment?New to Win 11 and cant figure out where my files are going
Using: Win11, Microsoft 365 subscription, Dell Inspiron AIO Good Afternoon, I purchased a new computer with Win 11. I screwed up the setup because I chose set up as a new PC so It's hard to find old files. I would like to keep everything on ThisPC and only allow certain files/folders on One Drive. Right now, it looks as if everything is going to drive C and there are no folders available on This PC. This may be because before I stopped using my old computer, I backed up everything into OneDrive. Q: How to change OneDrive configuration back without losing everything that is already saved in the cloud? Q: How to add folders to ThisPC? Q: I would like to save everything by default to This PC. If I do that, but have the correct folder set for one drive, will the file automatically save on my pc and save a copy in the cloud. Thank you in advance for your help, I appreciate it. I hope I'm not as clear as mud. MissJaynee
"New Outlook" Inbox not updating
In the "New Outlook" (which appears identical to the current web version of outlook): whenever I get a new email, I will get a notification and the unread counter next to my inbox tab will increase by one... but the email itself will not appear in the inbox UNTIL I click out of the inbox and back into it! It doesn't appear that the inbox can refresh itself "on-the-fly" as new emails come in, it only refreshes itself when it is loaded up! Are others experiencing this issue? I see svhelden posted about it a year ago but they said a software update fixed it... to me it seems to still be occurring with both the desktop and web app.Designer feature disappears in Word on office.com
Whenever i open a new Word document on office.com - during the loading phase i can see the Designer button present between Add-Ins and Copilot. Within some time the button disappears. There are no menu options available to bring it back either. I have a subscription for Microsoft 365 yet this is happening. I have tried: 1> Clearing cache and history files. 2> Different browsers 3> Different systems However, the issue repeats in the same fashion. Image 1- While loading Image 2- After some time
