Teams Custom App Icon Not displaying sometimes
Hi everyone, having trouble with a custom teams app not displaying the app icon sometimes. Generally if you quit teams and re-open solves the issue, but this is not a good user experience. I have: Created a custom Teams personal app and set custom icon Automatically pinned these apps to Microsoft teams for all users Sometimes: App Icon shows as blank App Icon shows correctly As stated restarting Microsoft teams usually fixes the issue. Any help appreciated. Cheers Alex18KViews7likes16CommentsPNP Apply Template CSOM files not found
Hi All I need to be able to apply pnp templates in CSOM with branding files exported from a site, please see below for details. I am doing the following Getting Template and branding files using powershell with: Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -out "testtemplate.xml" -PersistBrandingFiles Uploading the xml and site assets folder to a document library in SharePoint Using XMLSharePointTemplateProvider in CSOM C# to get the template from SharePoint Applying the template to a site using Web.ApplyProvisioningTemplate C# CSOM (Issue) My issue is on step 4 applying the template, the template cannot work out where the /siteassets folder is to retrieve the files it needs to upload, so I am getting a FileNotFound error. It works fine if i do not use the "-persistBrandingFiles" getting the template, however we need to get the files for other reasons. As far as I am aware there is no way to apply a .pnp template file in CSOM C# as all the examples only use xml. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Alex1.4KViews0likes2CommentsHub Site Navigation Hamburger expand by default
Hey All Is there any way to expand the hub site navigation menu under the hamburger icon when the site is in responsive mode by default? At the moment it shows the name of the hub but doesn't provide any indication to the end user there is navigation items underneath it as the left hand menu is displayed directly underneath. Thank you!1.4KViews1like0CommentsRe: Content Type Republish from Content Type Hub has removed custom columns added at team site level
You could try add the field directly and do a re-publish and see what happens. At the end of the day I would never recommend using the content type hub as every project I have ever used it in was eventually switched over to another solution, its just to unreliable and causes strange behavior like this.

Hi Reena Please note this is a community forum, so people contribute when they have time. It is not Microsoft support. This seems to be a flow issue - check the person running the flow "sign off" process has contribute permissions to the list - Check the person assigned to approve the flow has actually approved it by going to -> Flow -> approvals on their user account. - Check no one had the document open when the document was approved as this would block the update of the field Test the above by requesting sign off to yourself and see if the field gets updated If the above does not work Head over to the Microsoft flow community and ask for help their, someone will look into it. Here is the same issue in the flow community https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Flow-Discussion/Sign-Off-Column-Doesn-t-update/m-p/165321#M16477 Cheers Alex3.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Quick question about SharePoint
Sounds about right. If the user has access to the site put that address in the url bar of a "web browser". Opening from word you would need to File -> open -> Shorten the url to the library -> put that in the address bar of the open dialogue -> click the document759Views0likes0CommentsRe: Disabling SharePoint Modern Experience Powershell
If anyone needs this for the upcoming disabling of the SharePoint tenant-optout for modern experience. You can do it via SharePoint Online Management Shell with PNP installed Connect-PnPOnline -Url https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/siteurl -Credentials $cred Enable-PnPFeature -Identity E3540C7D-6BEA-403C-A224-1A12EAFEE4C4 -Scope Site Or Via CSOM C# var siteFeatures = site.Features; var switchToClassicFeatureID = new Guid("e3540c7d-6bea-403c-a224-1a12eafee4c4"); siteFeatures.Add(switchToClassicFeatureID, true,Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FeatureDefinitionScope.None); context.ExecuteQuery(); Main points here: you are activating a feature not disabling it, and the feature scope has to be set to "none" instead of "site"2.6KViews0likes0CommentsDisabling SharePoint Modern Experience Powershell
Does anyone know the command for disabling the SharePoint modern experience as the site collection level? Microsoft has announced they are disabling the admin center setting and that it can be disabled at site collection level via powershell, but I cant find a command that resembles disable-modernexperience anywhere https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Delivering-SharePoint-modern-experiences/ba-p/315023 Cheers AlexSolved2.8KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Offline Templates (attached to the Content Type) in SPO document libraries
Hi Raju I dont think this is possible, SharePoint has a connection to the template (in the form of being associated with the content type) which just creates a new document based on whatever file (not really tied together). But word does not know about a SharePoint content type offline. (and has to connect to the site to be able to fill it in through the File -> Properties)842Views0likes0CommentsRe: External sharing disabled
Hi 1) Make sure external sharing is enabled both on the tenant and site collection (it seems you have done this) 2) Then you can share a site with the external users. 3) To Share access to a specific document or folder you have to change the sharing link as below Then Hope that helped4.4KViews0likes0Comments
