How to edit the default.aspx page at a Project Online site?
Hey,
I am pretty sure that I had edited the default.aspx page at https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa/default.aspx last October. However, I realized that I cannot update this default page anymore. I tried to append mode=edit at the end of the URL, but no luck.
Would you please advise how I should update this default.aspx page as a site collection administrator?
Thank you very much!
- Hi Mitul,
Hope you are well! Per article,
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Rich-new-file-and-sharing-experiences-throughout-Microsoft-365/ba-p/960129
The functionality is currently rolling out to targeted tenants. As stated in the FAQ of the article ‘The new files experience in Microsoft Teams begins Targeted Release roll out to customers in Office 365 today and will be available worldwide by end of November 2019’ so for many it’s not there yet. I don’t think you have it because in the new experience you have the ability to sync to the desktop too and that’s not in your screenshot either.
I do have it and AFAIK there isn’t a policy which controls it (I.e. in the TAC). I wrote a blog on pinning recently on microsoft365pro.co.uk
Hope that answers your question! Hope you get to see it sooner as it’s really good functionality.
Best, Chris

I am pretty surprised that I don't have permission to update the page as a site collection administrator:
Maybe it is some latest changes that Microsoft made recently.
spoguys You want to look a change Microsoft implemented to remove custom scripting from OneDrive and SharePoint as it may be related. You will need your Global SharePoint Admin to go M365 Message Central and review Message ID MC714186. Basically, they will need to run a PowerShell script to re-enable custom scripting on affected PWAs. In our case, we would add new fields to a PDP then save it, but when we revisited the PDP the fields were gone. Running the script fixed the issue.
