But beyond just storing data, Lists also lets you visually highlight important details using conditional formatting — a feature that can make your lists more intuitive and actionable at a glance. In this post, we’ll walk through what conditional formatting is, why it’s useful, and how you can set it up step by step. https://dellenny.com/setting-up-conditional-formatting-in-microsoft-lists/
Microsoft Translator Conversation feature stopped working (“Unable to create new conversation”)
When trying to start a conversation, the mobile app (Android/iOS) shows the message: "Unable to create a new conversation. Try again." (Swedish version: "Det går inte att skapa en ny konversation. Försök igen.") About two weeks ago, the live transcription started to become very slow, with text appearing in large chunks instead of line by line. Shortly after that, the Conversation feature stopped working completely. We have tested this on multiple devices and platforms: – Android (several users, including myself) – iOS (tested by a colleague and a user we support) All users experience the same issue — no new conversation can be created. This function is used as a speech-to-text accessibility tool for deaf and hard-of-hearing users, so it is critical for communication support nationally in Sweden.Troubleshooting Common Issues in SharePoint Online

An update for Chromium 141 can affect the ability of SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business to access offline content, including files and lists and lead to degraded performance. The change is designed to improve user privacy, but some Microsoft 365 apps need browsers to be able to access local files, notably for OneDrive synchronization. Prepare by upgrading the OneDrive Sync client and distributing a new policy to workstations. https://office365itpros.com/2025/10/07/chromium-141-spo/

Subject: Microsoft Account “YuBanMe41Day” Compromised — Need Help Submitting Full Evidence
Hi everyone, My Microsoft account (YuBanMe41Day) was recently compromised after I fell for a phishing scam. I know it was a mistake, and I’m doing everything I can to recover the account. I’ve already used the official recovery form, but it doesn’t allow me to include all the evidence I have proving ownership. Here’s what I can provide: - PP account name used for past purchases - Credit card holder information linked to the account - Proof that I’m still partially logged in on my iPad (Microsoft services still show the account, but I’m asked to sign in again when I try to access anything) - Account history such as purchased games, achievements, and activity - Old Gmail and Microsoft passwords and related account information Is there a way to submit this evidence directly to a Microsoft Support agent or escalate the case so it can be reviewed by a human instead of the automated form? I’m worried the standard recovery system won’t accept all the proof I have. Thank you for taking the time to read this — any advice or official contact path would be greatly appreciated. — NesimUnlocking the Power of SharePoint Embedded A Modern Approach to Content Management

New Graph APIs allow Entra administrators to restore a conditional access policy with a Graph request. This article explains how to list, restore, and permanently remove soft-deleted conditional access policies using Graph API requests run in PowerShell. Being able to restore conditional access policies removed in error closes a big gap, especially if agents might begin working on policies. Who knows what errors might happen in future. https://office365itpros.com/2025/10/03/restore-a-conditional-access-policy/
