MS Teams not updating to reflect what is in Sharepoint
- This has been a longstanding issue. Microsoft has a very recent fix but it may not have been rolled out to your tenant yet, in which case your channels are unsynchronized with their folders. https://office365itpros.com/2021/09/02/microsoft-finally-fixes-teams-channel-rename/amp/
MikeWWW Appreciate the article! That puts the proverbial pin on things, in my eyes. As far as the work already done, I'll have to get creative and do some fixes. Thankfully, none of my files appear to be lost since they still show in Sharepoint, but now my team and I will have the collective burden of extra clicks into Sharepoint if a desired file doesn't appear to be present in the Teams app...thank you again for your feedback
david_n You might find it useful to link external SharePoint libraries rather than depending on the Teams channel/folder organisation. That will give you some more flexibility in organising and sharing files, particularly if you have multiple Teams/Groups that you want benefiting from a single collection divided into different access permission sets.
- Fair point, and certainly a good idea worth exploring further. I'll see what "damage control" I can do from last week's reorg efforts and then reassess the direction we should take moving forward. I'm grateful to know about this gap as a 'better late than never' proposition, but sure do wish it wasn't a gap at all, since it does seem like a rather obvious use case...
