Edge C preview prompts me constantly that it is not my default browser. But on SURFACE GO (Windows 10S) there is no option in Settings -> Default Apps to change the default browser. Am I missing something or is this just a matter of waiting for Edge C to replace Edge classic?Solved5.1KViews3likes6CommentsRe: SharePoint app - Android - List 'No data available'
Deleted - clearly not what should be happening. Bringing in Nate Clinton. Have you opened a support ticket? I'd suggest you do that--even having a case number on your end can help--it gives us something to follow as well.4.1KViews3likes1CommentRe: New Library UI - non-required "Required" metadata
Hey all! Sorry we've been busy getting ready for the SharePoint Virtual Summit (join us! https://aka.ms/SharePointSummit) on May 16th. The good news is that we TOTALLY UNDERSTAND the situation and the challenges you're describing, as well as the challenges many customers faced with the 'classic' model that prevented documents from being visible to team members if required metadata was not completed. There is work being done to address the scenario. We're not ready to announce the details, yet. I'll add LincolnDeMaris and Chris McNulty to this and will let them reply when they have a chance.9.9KViews2likes8CommentsRe: What are the differences between an Exchange Calendar and a SharePoint Calendar in O365?
The calendar that is part of the Outlook Group is powered by Exchange. It is literally a shared calendar for the group. It integrates flawlessly with Outlook, and it has the same capabilities as any Exchange calendar. But because it's part of the group it has some additional features. When you create an entry on the group calendar, it's possible to make that entry appear on group members' personal calendars automatically. A calendar in SharePoint is also a shared calendar. While it's possible to integrate it in Outlook, it's not "automatic" and it's not as seamless as a group calendar. However, a SharePoint calendar can: Be used on a classic site (not connected to a group) or a modern site (connected to a group) Have unique security. A group calendar is editable by anyone in the group. A SharePoint calendar starts that way, but you can control the permissions if you want to. Have additional columns (metadata). So, for example, we use SharePoint calendars to track sessions at events, because we want a column for speaker, room number, session code, etc. With a group calendar, you have the normal fields (title, location, description, start/end) and that's it.29KViews9likes1CommentRe: New Features
Thanks for the "kudos". I can speak for the SharePoint & OneDrive team to help add some clarity, FWIW: Quite often, features released to First Release are NOT released to Government SKUs, for the reasons mentioned above (commitments to G-specific certifications). Depending on the feature and how it's engineered, some features are flighted to First Release USERS (where you specify certain users to be in FR in your tenant) and some are flighted to First Release TENANT (where the entire tenant is in FR, not "users"). Some will go to users first, then tenant. Some will do only one of the two then go to "production" (all users in all tenants). We try to communicate what's happening, so look for "First Release users" as a signal. Generally it's safe to assume if we don't say "users", it's "tenant". Unfortunately we're not always 100% clear--we're working on improving that. Because of this, if you have "users" specified, and a feature is flighted to "tenant" (or vice versa), you might not see a feature released to the "other" until that feature hits "worldwide" (production). Within a "ring" (e.g. "First Release" or "Worldwide Availability") we often flight in "traunches", e.g. 10% of FR, 50% of FR... so a feature may be released to FR, but you might not see it for a period of time. There's usually no way to "force" a feature to show up for you. We did allow you to "opt in" for the modern lists experience last summer by adding a parameter to your URL. That model worked well and hopefully we will have the opportunity to do more of that in the future. You cannot specify different users for different features (e.g. "I want Finance users to get feature X in FR and Marketing users to get feature Y in FR") at this point in time. Our SharePoint customers find that a best practice is to have a SEPARATE TENANT in First Release, purely to experience, test, and 'document' features so that they're ready to drive adoption and support those features when they hit their 'normal' tenant in production rings. Hope some of these things help!!12KViews1like1CommentWhat's new in the mobile & intelligent intranet: VIDEO

Certainly, as was just said, it's our goal to make everything findable. We have a lot of exciting improvements to search--both in experience, personalization and underlying content--underway. Can't discuss any specific plans, but I can say there will be some good news for you as this year progresses, and the journey will be ongoing.3.3KViews3likes6CommentsWelcome, Microsoft Teams!
