Hi all,
I renamed an MPP file in Windows 11 via File Explorer and I was surprised to see the following activity on SharePoint: https://mike.getsharex.com/2022/08/20220826_msedge_K6DhmVizJI.png
This is completely untrue. I did not delete the file, and create a new one.
The old file was in the SharePoint Online Recycle Bin as well. Why cannot OneDrive detect this as a renaming action?
We have a strict policy of file deletion, and now I am in trouble by my manager because OneDrive caused SharePoint Online to show the above activity, and I have no way to prove otherwise.
Thanks,
Michael

@Mike Williams from my software engineering experience, I can confidently say that it is OfB using the SharePoint file delete/create calls instead of using the rename calls. Therefore, SharePoint misinterprets the file operation performed by the user and incorrectly populates the Activity. It is not SharePoint Online fault.
