Re: 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. 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 Saving and closing is not the same as checking in and out. 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, DaveRe: Sharepoint List Member Tick Box
Hi Lascough20 when you like a rating, you can also add a rating column to your list or library. Every user can set stars from 0-5 : https://sharepointmaven.com/add-average-rating-column-to-a-sharepoint-list/ You can see an average star rating on each idea. Best, DaveRe: Container tree - PnP Modern Search
Hi FabienGi there is no option to do that in the standard solutions. The value in the property are flat, the values in the search properties have no hierarchies. I think a possible solution is to develop a tree view like a term store hierarchy. When you find another solution, im also interested 😉 Best, DaveRe: Errors w/ Microsoft SharePoint Form Lists
Hi emmikazimi If users with higher privileges have access to it, it basically works. SharePoint List forms are only available vor internal users. You have internalt users, right? I've checked a SharePoint list form with an internal user an contribute permission, it works fine with the copied link direct in the form: What privileges do the users who receive the error message have? Is a custom permission level being used? Best, DaveRe: SharePoint Search Query - Path
Hi Mirek_N with PnP Modern Search WebParts you can build custom search pages: https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/ With a custom query you can only search in a specific folder: {searchTerms} Path:“{Site-Path}/TechContent/“ ParentId:{C2FB6950-EBD3-4919-B674-C21711DD3F56} More informations: https://www.mehr365.com/dokumente-aus-einem-spezifischen-ordner-durchsuchen/ Best, DaveRe: Limiting Search Box Results to Wiki Page Library
Hi aliceuwe you can use PnP Modern Search WebParts https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/ to create custom search pages. With PATH parameter you can search only in a library: Path:“https://<TENANT>.sharepoint.com/sites/MSTEvents/Shared%20Documents/“ More informations: https://www.mehr365.com/gezielt-inhalt-suchen-mit-der-eigenschaft-path Best, DaveRe: Custom search to search pdf files in certain librarys
Hi conny82 I think you've found a solution in the meantime. With PnP Modern Search WebParts you can create custom search pages with individual queries and layouts. For your case i use this query {searchTerms} (Path:"https://<TENANT>.sharepoint.com/sites/DocumentStore/StrukturierteDokumente/" OR Path:"https://<TENANT>.sharepoint.com/sites/DocumentStore/Article/") AND FileExtension:pdf Best, DaveRe: Hide Results (files and folders) from User's OneDrive when using top Search Bar
Hi rosenbloomsnka you can hide the OneDrive library from search. Every OneDrive is a SharePoint site and you can use the same settings like in a SharePoint teamsite or communication site. The path to a users OneDrive: https://<TENANT>-my.sharepoint.com/personal/<USER>/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx?view=14 In library settings > advanced settings: Best, DaveRe: Migrating users from M365 security group
Hi ah_ha this are two different concepts. M365 security groups are available in M365 admin center, SharePoint groups are available "only" on SharePoint sites. You can use M365 security groups in SharePoint groups but not the other way around. On the Microsoft 365 Active teams and groups page, you can create groups of user accounts that you can use to assign the same permissions to in SharePoint Online and CRM Online. For example, an administrator can create a security group to grant a certain group of people access to a SharePoint site. Here are more detailled informations: https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/admin/email/create-edit-or-delete-a-security-group?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004845 You can create an Power Automate flow to "sync" your M365 security members into an SharePoint group. Best, DaveRe: SharePoint Search wrong ContentType and ContentTypeId for Modern Sites
Same here, with a value "text/html; charset=utf-8 Site Page" in the field ContentType. Maybe you can use a Handlebar expression in PnP - Search Results WebPart to trim only the relevant part you will see in a column. But you still have the full code in a PnP Refiner WebPart. Best, Dave
