Files Restore feature for synced SP libraries?
The Files Restore feature became available in 2018, but as far as I can see looking here and in the roadmap, there's been nothing said (other than that it's not available and there's nothing to share at this time) regarding this feature and SharePoint libs. Does anyone know if it's been called off, assuming it was ever on? Not that it's impossible to recover those files without Files Restore, but it would be nice to have.741Views0likes0CommentsUpdates are suddenly twice the size
Starting with16.0.13707.20008 (ProPlus, Win10 Preview) earlier this month, build updates involve much more downloading than they ever had before in my years of updating Insider builds. By the time this week's update rolled around (the third time in a row this has happened), I took the time to measure what was downloaded: around 3.4GB.That's basically the entire client, as if I'd installed from scratch. What happened to differential updating? I happen to have a way to see what the bandwidth was historically: roughly half, consistently. I tested on another PC (last week's build to this week's, as always): also about twice what it should be. The "Host Process for Windows Services," which is what does the downloading, just isn't as efficient as it used to be, but why?553Views0likes0CommentsFlow save failing on popular template due to obscure date format issue
In using this template I'm getting this error merely by saving, without making anything but necessary changes (i.e. Calendar IDs): Flow save failed with code 'OpenApiOperationParameterValidationFailed' and message 'Input parameter 'newEvent' validation failed in workflow operation 'Create_an_event': The parameter with value '"@triggerOutputs()?['body/Start']"' in path 'newEvent/start' with type/format 'String/date-no-tz' is not convertible to type/format 'String/date-time'.'. It ties to body/Start, which in code form is: triggerOutputs()?['body/Start'] What is wrong with that? I saw one post recommending replacing it with this (as well as the body/end version for End time), which a) Shouldn't be necessary to do for a popular template from MS, and b) Translates the items into UTC, which is unwanted. convertToUtc(triggerOutputs()?['body/start'], 'Eastern Standard Time') I did realize eventually that you can get around the UTC problem by using this (again, and the corresponding body/end one for End time), but it's pretty stupid: convertToUtc(triggerOutputs()?['body/start'], 'GMT Standard Time')Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is ruining Outlook.com
About a week ago, I noticed that all URLs were suddenly extremely long/obscure, and beginning with something like:https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url= It destroys the URL visibility experience. I quickly realized that this was an Office 365 (E5) feature called ATP, but I'm not talking about Office 365 here but rather the consumer Outlook.com site. I need to find out if we're going to be able to disable this, and when. It's unbelievable that MS just foisted it on us, since it's not even in the vast majority of Office 365 plans! I realize that some people have been seeing it longer than one week.148KViews13likes73CommentsIntroduction to Microsoft PowerApps for Access web apps developers
[This is an excellent 33-page paperon the subject.] The purpose of this white paper is to demonstrate that Microsoft PowerApps is an alternative tool to Access web apps and worthy of consideration for an Access power user and developer.

Regarding this new-ish feature, I noticed that all of the files in the ZIP are refreshed with new dates and timestamps. Is this a design limitation of Sharepoint? Any plans to have it not do that and instead behave like every other example of ZIP'g files that I can think of: files retain their original dates/times?1KViews1like0Comments
