Two global navigation bars?
On the top of any page, I have the top navigation (Using Managed Navigation). But there is also another navigation bar directly below this one (which add a link for 'help') on some of the subsites, libraries, lists, etc. I am pulling out my hair trying to figure out where this is coming from and how to get rid of this. Can anyone help me, please?
Sharepoint Online Templates / Provisioning.
Hello everyone, I have a SharePoint online site that is as close as possible to being a template for my tenant. I'd like to save this site and make it available to me when I need to create a standard site for my tenant. Do you know if there is a possibility to save it and then pick it in the SharePoint list of templates in the creation phase in SharePoint? I know there is a PnP solution; however, after trying it I've had some bad results when trying to use a script with Get-PnPSiteTemplate many times it doesn't replicate the site correctly. I essentially need to take one SharePoint site, and just replicate the structure, DLs, Lists, Views, pages, designs, colours and thumbnails, no files needed. Possibly saving it as a template, but if not possible, just provision it via PnP PowerShell would be enough. Do you have any suggestions or scripts to recommend, or can you point me to any resources?
Microsoft Lists
Just been looking into Lists in SharePoint and find its great how you can make it look and function great, very pleasing to use. I like how you can have version history on items too and also if someone did delete the list you can restore it. But what if you want to restore if from backup, what if someone deletes a column. I use AvePoint backup and it doesn't show the list as a list when i restore. It just shows a spreadsheet. I cannot then paste the spreadsheet into an empty list because some fields like People and multiple choice do not format correctly from the spreadsheet back into a list. Is it just AvePoint or are there solutions to backup Microsoft Lists and restore them as a list. I cannot see going forward with lists if you cannot restore from backup. Thanks
Automation for downloading an Excel file from SharePoint using the Microsoft 365 Cloud SDK
Hello, I’m working on an automation in SAP Build Process Automation using the Microsoft 365 Cloud SDK. The automation is designed to automatically download an Excel file uploaded to SharePoint and send it by email to a list of recipients every day. I am using to this the following tutorial: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/spa-office-integration-agent..html The automation from the tutorial works, but I’d like to customize it a bit - for example, to make sure it always downloads the most recent Excel file if there are multiple files on the SharePoint site. However, I’m not sure how to adjust some of the parameters. I haven't found any other tutorials for that. I haven’t been able to find any other tutorials covering this scenario. I started with the activity Get Remote File Information, but I am not sure if it is a right direction. I don't know also how I should fill the field Output Paramters, if the activity is correct. Could anyone please help or point me in the right direction?Automatically email supplier when their certificate expires
Good afternoon. I have set myself a challenge and really could do with some help. I have a list of suppliers like below. I have expiry dates set up, with a colour formatting to show any date past the current date. On the end of the row, there is an email address of the company contact. I want SharePoint to automatically email that person as soon as it turns red/expires. What is the simplest way of doing this? I have looked at Flows etc, and online on video tutorials, but some of the guides are old and out of date or very complex and I am a novice. Is anyone kindly, can give me a step-by-step guide on how to do this, as this would be just awesome and finally bring my company into the 21st century! Thanks in advance.Issue with ribbon permissions in Microsoft Project.

Accessing Page Properties as filter for a List (List Web Part or Embed Web Part, or other)
Hello... I've unsuccessfully scoured the web for an answer to this question, so I apologize if the answer is out there and I just can't get this to work. I have found a number of potential solutions that didn't seem to pan out, so I figured I'd start at the top and see if what I am is possible. Some "simplified" background (capitalized and quoted words refer to Sharepoint content entities) I have a standard set of management tools in the form of "Lists"; Action Items, Risk Management, Deliverables for example. These "Lists" contain the data for all projects in the organization. Each project has its own Sharepoint "Page" on the organization Sharepoint site. Should note these are "Teams" Site/Pages. Objective is to have a template page that can be copied when a new Project is started and limit the amount of manual configuration. Each data "List" has a common key - Project. In each list, the Project is a "Lookup" field that gets its value from a separate Project "List". I didn't want to use a "Choice" field since multiple "Lists" draw from the same set of Projects and thus limiting duplicative adding of projects when a new Project starts. What I want to do is include each "List" on a Project specific "Page" and since the lists contain data for all Projects I want to filter the list based on the Project field in the list. If I add the "List" as a "List Web Part", the only filtering capability is "Dynamic Filtering" which connects a filter field to something selected in another library or list on the page. With the "List Web Part" it seems the only solution is to have a "List View" preconfigured in the "List" specific for each Project and then the "View" can be selected in the "List Web Part" settings. This solution, although it works, is not ideal since for each new program we would have to create a new "View" in each "List" for the new Project and, after copying the template "Page" edit the "View" field of every list on the page. What I would like to do is key the filtering of the "Lists" based on the active Project "Page". I have added a Project field to the "Page Properties" and set the field to the Project name that is in the Project list to potentially use as the filter key value in filtering the "Lists". But I can't figure out how to make use of the "Page Property" in any of the web parts, whether trying to leverage json in some circumstances, or other potential solutions. I have tried various things using the "List" view formatting. The "View" filtering capability doesn't let you filter based on a "Lookup" field, but even if I did, I would still have to figure out how to reference the "Page" property that identifies the Project. I think the closest I have come is trying to use the "</> Embed Web Part". I can add this web part and set the website address to "https://....../Lists/AIList/AllItems.aspx?FilterField1=Project&FilterValue1=ProjectA" and it will populate the web part with the list filtered to only show the items associated with ProjectA. But what I want is to set the FilterValue1 to the Project "Page Property". I have seen references to page properties in various posts using @{Page.Project} (for example) or [$Page.Project] or perhaps other forms for various purposes, none of which have worked either in this "Embed Web Part" or attempts I have made in other potential solutions using json to try to control what is displayed. Sorry for the long post, but if anyone knows a way to achieve the desired effect it would be very much appreciated.Restricting View/Edit/Create of Sharepoint List items to creator only
Hi Team, I need to build a feedback Power App that can read and write to a Sharepoint Online List held within a Private team ( the HR team for example ). All users need to be able to edit their own records and their managers can update ones assigned to them BUT if they look at the list directly, they are not allowed to see other peoples records. What is the best way to achieve this level of access control..? Can it be done using SharePoint lists or does it need to be managed through Power Apps/Power Automate somehow..?
Export list of users with unique permissions
Hello community, The context: We have a document library with 30 000 items. We broke inheritance and set up special permissions for some of them. Now we have about 30 items with special permissions that can be listed in Sharepoint Online. See the picture below. What we want: We want to get list of user on each item now. How can we do that? The output should look like this item1 - user 1 item1 - user 2 item1 - user 3 item1 - group 1 item1 - group 2 item 2 - user 1 item 2 - user 5 ... The idea We will write powershell script But can we identify items with special permissions the same way Sharepoint does it in the picture? How? How to use the API correctly because we cannot list each item (30k) in Sharepoint for performace reasons right? Related topics maybe?

We have a need to create a departmental Staff automated In/Out Board listing all staff, capturing their presence from Outlook and displaying onto a SharePoint 2013 (on premise versus O365) page. To keep it simple we would like to display name and status (based upon Outlook presence). If we could capture information like "in a meeting" or "Busy" or "Away" or "On a call" that would be even better. Any advice or guidance would be most helpful...
Sharepoint List Column and Form setting issue.
Hello, I have two issues with one of our sharepoint list. - It seems the column names are not consistent across users. - The column field editor is not shared across users. Basically, I created a list which I then modified, including some field names. However some users still only see the original version of the field names. Columns seem correct, however they have the wrong names. Also in a similarly, I havec created conditions for fields to appear on the ITEM form and have reorganised the fields in a particular order, however when looking at the form on some users some fields are in the wrong order (I believe its usually the fields with the wrong names. I have already checked versioning is activated which it is not and permissions seem correct ( one of the users is also a list owner) The only difference I can see is that the language is not the same for everyone. But I don't see how that would impact it. The names don't use any french accents or symbols. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Not able to use "(" - opening bracket in SharePoint Online Webpart
I have an SPO site where I am creating multiple pages. Every single page prevents me from typing an opening/left parenthesis. I can type a closing parenthesis no problem. I've cleared my cache and restarted. It began recently - probably around the same time as the update where a closing parenthesis/quotation appears when you type an opening one.Sharepoint site permissions issues - Visitors group users not granted access
Hey there, One of our colleague was wrongly given the "owner" role for a SP site. That person went to the advanced permissions settings panel and randomly deleted the site default "Visitors" group. Then of course every persons depending on that permissions level to visite the site received a "Denied access" error when trying to reach the site. What we saw was no more "visitors" group in the advanced permissions settings panel BUT; "visitors" group still appearing in the basic consol on the website (gear icon>site permissions) and enclosing users; when checking access to specific pages or content "visitors" group was missing. We then recreated a new "Visitors" group with "read only" classic permissions. Yet same issue "Denied access" and same observations made (see bullets list above). We did it again creating a very similar group called "Read-only". After several trials. we asked permissions to access the page directly from the error page "Denied access". User was then able to access the site. From there we checked the permissions status for that user, from that check we can see that this user is depending on the "Visitors" and "Read-only" groups... Yet we can't see that user withing these groups... Of course if we deleted the user from all users and add it in one of these two groups, it can't access the site. We read a lot on permissions lately but can't find anyone else experiencing this. Additional info: This site is part of a hub and is the only one affected All sites are configured the same way The only settings that changes was that deleted default "visitors" group on that specific website. (so it has to come from that) We won't be asking people to ask for permissions from the "Denied access" error page since it would not solve the original issue and we set up groups within Active Directory to easily manage users and their permissions across MS apps. Should anyone have a solution ;)... CheersSharepoint Webpart Discussion
I make a webpart using react language in that webpart I have create a form in that I have a dropdown in that I want to display all users of my community but currently only site users are displayed These are all the required code lines for populating dropdown :- const [users, setUsers] = React.useState<IDropdownOption[]>([]); const userResults = await sp.web.siteUsers(); const userOptions: IDropdownOption[] = userResults.map(user => ({ key: user.Id.toString(), text: user.Title })); <Dropdown label="Assigned To" options={users} selectedKeys={assignedToUsers} onChange={(_, option) => { if (!option) return; setAssignedToUsers(prev => option.selected ? [...prev, option.key as string] : prev.filter(k => k !== option.key) ); }} placeholder="Select Assigned to person(s)" multiSelect styles={{ dropdown: { width: "100%", marginTop: 10 } }} /> } For displaying all user I also tried the Microsoft Graph Api and changed according to that but these won't work so I now I am finding alternate option so please tell me if you have any solution
