Hi antonyberry this feature works on site level wit h pdf and office document, when this feature is active, user don't see other people they have opened the file. You can activate this feature with PowerShell: Set-SPOSite -identity https://<TENANT>.sharepoint.com/sites/DocumentStore -HidePeoplePreviewingFiles $true You can test your details question on your own site. Best, DaveRe: Quick Links “Button” layout drawers stuck open on modern SharePoint page
Hi rmsterling the M365 SharePoint default Button layout has no picture, the Grid layout can have a picture. I think, it's a normal behaviour, that the title appears anytime, not only when you hover over it... If this standard behavior is not normal for you, then it could be that you are using customizing, which is causing the problem. P.s.: You tagged online and server in your ...make not sense... :/ Best, DaveRe: Sharepoint list column type removing hyperlink
Hi ux0042 this behaviour make sense. Use instead the link direct to your OneNote web app. The idea from this is: It can be a security whole, to use links direct to desktop apps (safety first) Everyone can open the web links, even if someone does not have OneNote or has an old version on their desktop Best, DaveRe: Strange Auto-Publishing Behavior in a Homesite
Hi karen_dredske Microsoft has changed the process, maybe it has an impact to your behaviour. From an Microsoft article https://support.microsoft.com/office/create-and-use-modern-pages-on-a-sharepoint-site-b3d46deb-27a6-4b1e-87b8-df851e503dec?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 : Note: Instead of Save as draft , you may see Save and close in the command bar. This means your organization has pages coauthoring capability where you can invite other authors to edit the same page or news post at the same time. You can learn more about that here . You can find more details about Co-Authroing in this article: https://support.microsoft.com/office/collaborate-on-sharepoint-pages-and-news-with-coauthoring-91d7dc25-37c3-44a4-99da-f552e0f9cfe9?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 Best, DaveRe: Origin and Synchronization of User Profile Properties in SharePoint Online
Hi rosamartinamilazzo25 the properties in this article https://learn.microsoft.com/sharepoint/user-profile-sync?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 will be synced from Entra ID to UPA. You can see the synced properties with a database icon in your UPA. Other properties are only stroed in the UPA. You can sync more properties from Entra ID to UPA with custom development and PnP PowerShell. Best, DaveRe: Edit' rights tries editing a document from a different device or browser it is grayed out
Hi IBN22 when a user have edit access, he have the same permission on all other devices and browsers with this M365 account. You have written: "When a user with confirmed 'Edit' rights tries editing a document from a different device or browser it is grayed out using Edge browser as usually use Chrome." >> that means, it works on one device? What do you mean with it is grayed out? How it looks greayed out? First picture are the permissions on the document (= item-level permission). Second one are the site permissions, when a user have item-level permissions or edit on library level, it is ok, he don't need edit permissions on the whole site. Third are from a list, but when he can create new documents, it looks good ond library level Options to check: Is the document checked out? Do you use a Flow or approvals? Ensure that permissions are correct at every level. This is very important when operating SharePoint. Best, DaveRe: News/page publishing process changes
Hi Rory2019 Microsoft has changed the process: From an Microsoft article https://support.microsoft.com/office/create-and-use-modern-pages-on-a-sharepoint-site-b3d46deb-27a6-4b1e-87b8-df851e503dec?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 : Note: Instead of Save as draft , you may see Save and close in the command bar.

Best, DaveRe: Cannot change a content type template's url anymore
Hi DarioCL Microsoft has changed the template gallery, maybe it's a side effect. The url /_layouts/15/CreatePageFromTemplate.aspx it's the same as when you use the default SharePoint menu New > Page, an there it's work fine with default settings: In Document Content Types you can add a url to your document template: In what library do you use your new ContentType? What is your UseCase to use the default url /_layouts/15/CreatePageFromTemplate.aspx vor a custom ContentType? Best, DaveRe: Best practices to work on files between Teams
Hi Yann_49 yes, it works, but M365 Groups/Teams permissions are different to SharePoint permissions. M365 Groups/Teams known Members and Owners for the whole M365 Group/Teams, in SharePoint you can use different permission per library, list, folder or items. Make sure that the authorization concepts do not interfere with each other and that you no longer open files with many interruptions or non-transparent authorizations. Option 4: create a M365 Goups/Teams for a space to work together with Member permission for both teams. Every Member knows, that all in this Group/Teams is readable for both teams (outer loop), when i have informations only for my teams, it's stored in the team teams (inner loop). It is simple and transparent and should help users avoid filing things incorrectly. Best, DaveRe: Sharepoint no sync for userdata
Hello GerhardSillipp are you using the SharePoint or Graph data source in PnP Modern Search WebParts? The SharePoint Search use the data from the SharePoint User Profile Application: https://learn.microsoft.com/sharepoint/user-profile-sync?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 Best, DaveRe: RefinableStrings managed properties are assigned to crawl properties only at the site level
Hello johnjohn-Peter tenant level properties are for the whole tenant, you can use this properties on every site, site level properties are restricted for this site. I don't know why this can no longer be done at site level. Perhaps it's a change by Microsoft or a temporary problem. However, I think it's a good thing, as properties should be configured centrally at tenant level. Best, DaveRe: How to make News Post notification from SharePoint to Teams work?
Hi Kryi We found the same: there is no standard solution that guarantees 100 percent email notifications. This article contains a lot of useful information: https://support.microsoft.com/office/create-and-share-news-on-your-sharepoint-sites-495f8f1a-3bef-4045-b33a-55e5abe7aed7?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 We use a Power Automate flow to send news notifications, it's our 100 percent solution... Best, Dave
