- Paul de JongJul 12, 2023Iron ContributorUsing the web interface is the strategic direction from Microsoft. Educate your users if possible.
Note: using the Teams app will only work for Teams connected sites.- Jodie0510Jul 13, 2023Copper ContributorThanks both.
Educating my users is a very long and slow process :L
I am getting there with getting everyone just using SharePoint online, but one of the technicians is convinced that he never has internet when he's onsite.
I've used Viva Connections to bring in the Site into teams, it's a bit weird around opening documents.
