Re: Sensitivity labels for images not carried over to SharePoint
Alan_NZ Microsoft have replied elsewhere and confirmed, unfortunately this is a hard limitation and there is currently no way to retain or activate sensitivity labels on image files (e.g. PNGs/JPGs) in SharePoint/OneDrive, even if they’ve been applied in the Purview Information Protection Client in Windows. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1687909/can-sensitivity-labels-for-images-be-carried-into Added to the Feedback Portal to request this functionality: https://feedback.azure.com/d365community/idea/2b4e24b3-ef1b-ef11-989a-000d3ae2b698 According to the official documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/sensitivity-labels-sharepoint-onedrive-files#supported-file-types, sensitivity labels can be applied to Office files in SharePoint and OneDrive, but not to image files such as JPGs and PNGs.

Sensitivity labels for images not carried over to SharePoint
Hi there, I have a customer using the Purview Information Protection client to apply sensitivity labels locally in Windows before uploading files into SharePoint. The Office files are retaining the sensitivity labels but images (JPGs PNGs, etc.) and PDFs are not. Is this a hard limitation or is there a way to retain (or activate) the sensitivity labels on images in SharePoint/OneDrive? Thanks, Alan

Sensitivity labels for images not carried over to SharePoint
Hi there, Maybe a basic question but I've been struggling to find a definitive answer... I have a customer using the Purview Information Protection client to apply sensitivity labels locally in Windows before uploading files into SharePoint. The Office files are retaining the sensitivity labels but images (JPGs PNGs, etc.) and PDFs are not. Is this a hard limitation or is there a way to retain (or activate) the sensitivity labels on images in SharePoint/OneDrive? Thanks, Alan

Restrict permission to create Forms, to only one group or small subset of users?
Hi there, I have what seems like it should be a simple/common request, to only allow a small group of users in a tenant to create/manage Forms, but still enable all internal users to respond to Forms. - Looking at Microsoft's https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-forms/set-up-microsoft-forms#configure the only way this can be disabled for some users but not others is via the M365 Admin Center but would need to be done individually user-by-user, no good for hundeds of users as it could take several monotonous hours, but looking so far like my only workable option. - I've looked into a PowerShell solution to this but have been unable to achieve something that disables that property for all users except one group. - Another suggested option might be to create a conditional access policy in Azure AD / Entra Center, however this would restrict general users from responding to Forms content - the requirement is to only restrict the creation/management of Forms for most users. Please can anyone advise? Cheers, Alan

New Excel workbooks not launching in app - .xlsx "extension is not valid"
Hi there, Having a recent issue in some SharePoint sites - in Document Libraries, using the (default) New > Excel Workbook action gives the error when launching the app: "Excel cannot open the file 'Book.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid". There is some inherited managed metadata in the library but I can't see any issue here and thats been in place for a while. Site/Library Permissions have been checked and no issues found. Excel files that were already in the library don't experience this issue (Excel opens successfully). It doesn't happen if we upload a .xlsx file to the document library. (Excel opens successfully). Excel Files launch fine in the browser. Having tested changing the default to "open in browser" this did temporarily resolve the issue and files created under this setting were then able to launch in the app. However this is not most users' preferred setting. Can anyone advise what the root cause might be and how we can get newly generated .xlsx workbooks launching in Excel as normal? Thanks, Alan

Re: 110 character limit on hyperlinks, on images in Text web part?
Thanks Leon - I thought as much. Seems a really basic need to be able to link (especially to elsewhere in the site from images within a text body), and pointless limitation to 110 chracters (as the URL won't be displayed) but thats just my opinion. Your response is much appreciated. Cheers, Alan

110 character limit on hyperlinks, on images in Text web part?
Hi all, I've hit what looks a very basic problem that I can't find much information about. In a modern SharePoint page, when inserting an image into the Text web part, the option to add a link limits the input at a measly 110 characters. This means many links I'm trying to add get cut short and won't work. If there was going to be a logical limit it could be 400 or at the very least 255 (like elsewhere is SharePoint). Is there a reason for this? Is there a workaround? Also seems short-sighted to not allow the user to browse for pages/files in the site like other web parts do? The Image web part itself doesn't have this character limit but that takes away the ability to place the image within the body of text, which must be the most common requirement. Cheers, Alan
