SharePoint modern page, can you adjust responsive design?
Specifically, is there any way to control the window width at which webparts start to stack? My specific situation is similar to the one in this discussion. In my case, I have 3 tall, thin photos that need to display on a page. I have placed 3 image webparts, one in each column of a 3-column section. This looks fine in a wide window. But as I narrow the window, at far too wide of a window width, the section switches to stack the "columns," leaving the user looking at the top 25% of the first photo only. (Which not surprisingly is pretty useless; one needs to see all of a photo.) In both my case and the previous discussion, the problem is that the responsive design thresholds are far too wide (often wider than the physical computer monitor that some are using). Is it possible to fix the thresholds?
Copilot answers in Sharepoint search results?
I would really like to add a copilot AI answer in the Sharepoint search result page, mainly for the intranet hub, to help our users better find answers across the intranet and also make the search bar a more complete search experience. Something we could toggle on and maybe we could point out a specific agent we've created for the intranet. I feel people are quickly starting to expect to have an AI summary in their search. Would also make sense when so many use the search bar i Sharepoint to incorporate it there, instead of having to go to a different place to use Copilot. It would make search easier.
SharePoint Permissions Management
Over the last 3 years of managing permissions across a suite of sites, I have uncovered more new issues with the way SharePoint permissioning is designed at every turn. A few examples, before the question: If I "Share" a file or folder somewhere on the site (breaking permissions inheritance), it is very inconvenient to find it again. If I "copy link" in this one particular way, permissions inheritance is broken. When looking at site-level permissions, I see site-level permissions groups, but there could be hundreds of other users who have been added to my site(s) without my knowing. If I want to reset permissions in an area (set of folders or library), I have to do it file-by-file or folder-by folder. If I want to get an excel snapshot of - anything really - IT has to pull it and it takes a couple days. Not to mention the permissions interface is incredibly clunky. All-in-all, there seem to be a million ways to break permissions inheritance, creating an access tracking and security nightmare. AND there's no easy way to truly see and understand who has access to what or what is broken, without spending hours with IT to pull a bunch of narrow-visibility reports. So my question is: what is the best way to navigate full permissions visibility? Am I doing something wrong? Is anyone else experiencing these issues? We have resorted to having a very strict "no outsides besides a few exceptions" policy and only managing permissions at the site-level, which really hampers on the collaboration benefits that SharePoint is trying to enable. It is also very administratively intensive. One of the benefits to SharePoint is that users don't really need to understand how it works to use it, but that's becoming less and less true with the increasing lack of security we feel in the platform.
Sharepoint Site News Links not populating like before
Hello, everyone! Has anyone else had an issues within SharePoint and posting news links? Previously, on our SharePoint site we would add news links from sources and the article title, image, and description would autopopulate and then allow users to go click the link to that article. However, since November, SharePoint does not do this anymore and is not pulling in the information. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Is it possible to disconnect a site from an O365 group?
I'm interested in keeping a site collection that is connected to an Office 365 group, but I want to delete the group and "disconnect" it from the site (basically the opposite of what is possible when you "groupify" a team site). Does anyone know if this is a PowerShell command?New Sharepoint Quick Access - Want "Sites" back
I want the Sites back on my quick access menu - I don't want to have to go through "Discover" it just adds an obnoxious extra step and I can get there clicking on the Sharepoint logo on the top left - having another button to take you to the hub is pointless. How do I get Sites back on the quick access?Posting news article not sending notification to Teams activity feed
Hello I am trying to troubleshoot why when posting a news article it is not coming up in people's Teams activity feed. We have a hub of sites branded as the intranet but they are not news organisation sites. When news posts are published from any site in this hub, people are receiving notifications of news posts in their Teams activity feed. Eg. 'Joe Blogs published news'. On a stand alone communication site, I publish a news post, for the members of that site they do not receive the notification in their Teams activity feed. Some facts We are not using Viva Connections - so there is no home site (no Viva license yet) No sites are news organisation sites Internet sites are not necessarily followed (most people do not follow) so this has no bearing on receiving notification in Teams Notification settings in Teams are not disabled for test users What other steps can I take to investigate why this site not connected to the internet hub is not pushing notifications? It is one example of a site, there are many that do not push notifications as well. Thank you.Strange Auto-Publishing Behavior in a Homesite
I have a client who is having the strangest behavior on their homesite. If they go to add a news article - whether from the News web part or from the + New drop-down menu, once the news post page is provisioned, it is automatically publishing. The link to the blank page appears in their web part and the news post they are editing does not have a Publish button on it. The same thing is happening when you create a normal site page also. To try to work around this, they created a new page and selected the checkbox for Save as a personal draft first. Once they finished adding their content, there was no button to publish it in any way. Then they used the Managed Access option on the individual page to attempt to make it viewable in the News web part. It does appear in the news web part on their homepage BUT it is only a gray box with the page title at the top that is linked to the article. I have checked to be sure the page is a "Promoted page" - and it is. I have never seen this in any tenant before and cannot replicate it in any of the 3 other tenants I have access to. As of right now, we are only aware of it happening on the intranet home page which is a homesite and a hub site. It worked as expected until this week as far as we can tell. Is anyone else having this issue? Has Microsoft pushed out an update that broke homesites or News web parts on homesites?
