关于windows白板停止使用造成的问题
今天我打开Windows白板的时候，出现了提示即将停用，我目前可以导出为pdf或者图片还有压缩包，我想知道有没有办法在其他应用上继续进行编辑，最好可以用手写笔进行编辑 TRANSLATION When I opened Windows Whiteboard today, a message appeared saying it will be discontinued soon. For now, I can export as PDF, images, or a compressed file. I want to know if there's a way to continue editing in other apps, preferably with a stylus.Using User Assigned Managed Identities with Microsoft 365 Automation7
A user assigned managed identity (UAMI) is a secure method to authenticate with many important endpoints, including the Microsoft Graph. It’s like a system assigned managed identity (SAMI), but the big difference is that a UAMI is an Azure resource that isn’t tied to an automation account. It can be used in multiple areas of Azure and a UAMI might be a better option for large organizations that make extensive use of Azure resources. https://office365itpros.com/2026/07/20/user-assigned-managed-identity/
What are people using to measure manager effectiveness across the org?
Our CHRO wants to start tracking how effective managers are, things like do they hold regular 1:1s, do they give timely feedback, are their team's goals on track. Right now we have zero visibility into any of this. We can pull some data from Teams usage reports but that just tells us who's chatting a lot, not who's actually managing well. Anyone found a tool or approach within the M365 ecosystem that gives you a real picture of manager effectiveness?
Edit/Mass Edit Powerpoint linked file addresses
As the title suggests I'm looking for a way to manually edit or ideally mass edit the address to linked files in powerpoint. For context I play several games where I need to keep track of what builds I have on which character, and sometimes their in-game inventory. Unfortunately the games don't really have the greatest inventory management for the in-game item side of things. In addition the only way sometimes to remember a character's build is to log onto that character and pull up their build page. With enough characters it can be pain remember what I have where even though I enjoy the games themselves. To get around some of the flaws I have powerpoints I use to keep track of certain things like inventory and build. One ppt may have photos of all the current builds for each character, another may have photos of their inventory and so forth. Certainly not ideal but once the initial setup was done, it's been fairly easy to maintain and I only have to update an odd photo here or there if something changes. Which brings me to my potential issue here. I've been keeping the ppts on a thumb drive along with the photos so I can have everything in one place. Recently the drive decided it was done and checked into that silicone repository in the sky and no longer works. Fortunately however I was able to move everything over to a newer drive before the old one finally checked out. While I was able to save my data, I also introduced 2 side effects I wasn't thinking of at the time in my haste to avoid losing everything. When moving everything over I moved things over in batches to avoid taxing the failing drive too hard and placed each batch in its own folder to avoid copying the same thing more than once. So think something like Folder 1, Folder 2, Folder 3, and so on. To conserve on file size of the ppt itself I always chose the option of "Link to File" when inserting the photos to the slides instead of the basic "Insert" or "Insert and Link" options. This means 2 things, the drive location is no longer correct, and the folder location is no longer correct in the links. While I could in theory just change the drive letter and make the folder structure the same again, moving it in batches actually let me organize the raw photos better, but means I now need to correct the addresses for the ppts themselves since the old links no longer work. In the program I know we can go to Info, then press the Edit Links To Files button, and try to change stuff there. The problem is that I can only change one thing at the time there. On top of that if I press the Change Source button, it wants me to find the photo individually vs just chanting the text address of the photo. These wouldn't be issues if it was just a few photos we're talking about as I could just go in, relink by hunting each one and roll. However there are around 250 photos that I would have to do this for, and it would be very tedious. Plus the fact the previews don't work anymore either. (yes i'm one of those kinds of gamers) So what I'm hoping you folks can help me with is a way to edit the text addresses manually for the links. Ideally in mass groups, but I can do it one at the time if I have to. For example let's say I have photo one and it's address looks like "D:\Game1\Character Group1\CharacterA\Build1\Photo1" on the old drive. What I want is a way to change it to say "E:\Game1\Batch1\Character Group1\CharacterA\Build1\Photo1" type of thing. Ideally I'm hoping for a way to change those addresses in mass. If I have to text edit them all one by one, that's still alot faster than having to hunt and relink each photo individually. Thanks in advance for any advice.How to Create an Approval Workflow in SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365)

Microsoft Word - Footnote remains on the original page after moving the original reference up
Issue I encountered an issue in Microsoft Word where moving the original footnote reference to an earlier location in the document did not move the footnote itself. The footnote remained on its original page even though the reference had been moved. This was particularly problematic because the same footnote was referenced multiple times throughout the document using cross-references. Cause The footnote is anchored to the original footnote reference in the main text. In my case, Word had somehow lost track of that original anchor, so the footnote stayed on its original page while all cross-references continued to point to it. Solution Hold Ctrl and click the misplaced footnote reference. Word jumps to the original footnote reference in the main text. Cut the original footnote reference (Ctrl+X). Paste it in the correct location using Keep Source Formatting. Press Ctrl+A, then F9 to update all fields. Verify that: the footnote has moved to the correct page, the numbering has updated correctly, all cross-references still work. In my document, one footnote had previously lost its connection to the original reference, so its numbering did not update automatically. That one had to be repaired manually. Important Do not create a new footnote or copy the footnote text itself. Move the original footnote reference in the main text. This preserves the existing footnote, its numbering, and every cross-reference that points to it. I hope this helps someone else. It took me quite a while to figure out what was happening.Microsoft to Stop Providing Telephony-Based Authentication Methods for MFA in February 2027
In an important announcement for all tenants, Microsoft revealed that Entra ID will no longer provide SMS one-time codes or voice calls for MFA challenges after February 1, 2027. Tenants can continue to use telephony-based authentication methods after that date, but only by purchasing a service from a telecom provider. This is arguably the biggest change in Entra ID authentication since mandatory MFA for administrative interfaces – and we have a PowerShell script to help identify the affected accounts. https://office365itpros.com/2026/07/14/entra-sms-one-time-code/Microsoft 365 Data Protection- TrackingID#2607020040005775 - HELP

Technology moves fast, but enterprise systems rarely do. While organizations eagerly adopt cloud platforms, AI-powered tools, and modern collaboration solutions, many still rely on legacy systems that have quietly supported business operations for years. One of the most common examples is SharePoint 2013. https://dellenny.com/sharepoint-2013-to-2026-why-legacy-migrations-are-still-the-backbone-of-it/
