Microsoft Places desk declined despite check-in
Each We've just started using Places in our office and a few users have reported recieving a desk decline email due to no check-in on the desk, despite them using the check-in button on the Places app to check-in on arrival to the office. Has anyone seen this previously? Each desk has two monitors, which I have associated with the desks in the Teams Pro Management portal to enable detection and check-in. Reservation settings for all desks are as below.How to Create SharePoint Sites with the Graph API
Microsoft released the beta version of the SharePoint Online create Site API for the Microsoft Graph in late November 2025. Since then, Microsoft has dropped one of the three site templates. Playing with the API, we’ve discovered that the API can certainly create sites but that the SharePoint Graph API misses a heap of features, like adding members to the new site. Oh well, one step forward… https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/19/create-site-api-spo/Some Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK Cmdlets Lose Body Parameters
A change made for some Directory Graph APIs has flowed through to the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK and affected how the associated cmdlets work, including the beta cmdlet to restore a deleted user account and while replacing the user principal name. Fortunately, the workaround is easy, but it is upsetting when something that worked suddenly doesn’t, even if it is a beta cmdlet. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/16/restore-deleted-user-account-sdk/Purview eDiscovery Simplifies Content Searches in February 2026
As part of the modernization of the Purview eDiscovery solution, Microsoft will simplify the content searches UX in February 2026 to remove features that are inappropriate for the way that content searches are intended to be used. The change is logical and reasonable because you should use a full eDiscovery case to access all the eDiscovery functionality. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/15/content-searches-change/Teams External Collaboration Administrator Role Arrives
Microsoft is introducing a new Entra ID role. The Teams External Collaboration administrator role allows users to manage external collaboration settings. Quite how often Microsoft 365 tenants need to manage these settings is unknown, but it’s a useful prompt to review the current set of roles used and users who are members of those roles. Time for an annual clean-up. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/14/new-entra-id-role/SharePoint Site Administrators Can Now Control Restricted Content Discovery
Restricted Content Discovery (RCD) is a feature that blocks access by Microsoft 365 Copilot and agents to the files stored in a SharePoint Online site. Instead of relying on tenant administrators, site administrators can now enable or disable RCD. It’s a natural evolution of what is an essential feature to keep sensitive and confidential information being leaked inadvertently by AI. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/13/rcd-site-level/Web-Addins stopped working for Office apps version 16.100 for Mac
Dear experts, Since version 16.100, the web add-in functionality has stopped working with the Office apps for Mac (PowerPoint, Word and Excel). In may case, Templafy web add-in is not being loaded. According to Templafy's support page: https://support.templafy.com/hc/en-us/articles/29028257609501-Templafy-Web-Add-ins-no-longer-accessible-on-Mac-after-Microsoft-Office-update-16-99 this seems to be a bigger issue. Clearing web add-in cache or deleting the WEF folder will not resolve the issue. I have also tried with a full clean uninstallation of Office365 apps and re-installation, same issue. Note that New Outlook for Mac is not affected, just PowerPoint, Excel and Word.Entra ID Rationalizes Session Revocation for User Accounts
Microsoft is rationalizing the options to revoke sessions for a user account in the Entra admin center by removing an old revoke MFA sessions button. That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. When administrators want to revoke sessions for an account, the best way is to create a PowerShell script to perform the necessary steps. That way you don’t need to worry about buttons. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/09/revoke-sessions-button/How to Design a Future-Proof SharePoint Information Architecture
A future-proof SharePoint Information Architecture balances business needs, user experience, and technical scalability. In this blog, we’ll explore what future-proofing really means, common pitfalls to avoid, and step-by-step technical guidance to design an IA that stands the test of time. https://dellenny.com/how-to-design-a-future-proof-sharepoint-information-architecture/Priority Cleanup for SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business Is Generally Available
Priority cleanup is a Microsoft Purview solution that allows tenants to remove items even when the items are subject to retention hold. That sounds like Priority cleanup goes against the nature of data governance, but sometimes it's more important to remove items than to keep them for their full retention period. This article explains how Priority Cleanup works and some of the important concepts that you need to master before removing anything. https://practical365.com/priority-cleanup-for-sharepoint/
