Custom SPFx app on SPO: How to roll back to previous version?
Hi. We've developed a simple SPFx app, and installed it on a couple of sites on our intranet. I package-solution.json I can set the app version that's used by our SPO sites' app store. Say I have deployed version 1.0.0, and then deploy version 1.0.1. Can I roll back to version 1.0.0 using only SPO app store? Or do I have to delete the app from the app store, and upload version 1.0.0 and re-install it on the sites?Hide “Add event” button in calendar web part for read-only users
On our modern sharepoint online site, we have a calendar web part. For visitors, i.e. read-only users, the "Add event" button is grayed out. For our visitors, we'd rather remove the "Add event" button instead of just disabling it. Is there a way to remove this button for users who don't have access to actually create new events?For some users on some sites, the "Share via email"-button does not appear
Hi. On our SPO intranet, some of our users, on some of our sites, are missing the "Share via e-mail"-button. It appears to be due to a permission setting of some sorts, as one of our power users do get the button when signing in with his admin account, but not with his regular account. I'm not quite sure which setting to look for, so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Best regards, KenGet notified when users create sites and news based on built-in templates
Hi. We're planning on rolling our own sites and news templates, and tell our content creators to use those instead of the SPO build-in templates. As it's not supported to remove or modify the build-in templates, we'd like to instead be notified if and when content creators create a site or page based on a build-in template. Is this at all possible - is there any attribute or whatever that indicates from which template a news article or site was built, that we can query for example from powershell?Re: Enable people search in Microsoft search bar
jcgonzalezmartin Thanks for your input. I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Search Naviagation" - are you referring to the Search Navigation web part (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/about-configuring-the-search-navigation-web-part-449b414f-0d49-4b07-8221-45e1b717205d)?Enable people search in Microsoft search bar
Hi. We'd like our users to be able to find people by using the "Microsoft search" bar on the top of our SharePoint Online modern (hub) sites. As of now, when our users search for content using the search bar, only the tabs "Files", "Sites" and "News" are displayed. To search for users, our users need to click one of the tabs, and then the "Search all contents for ...", which makes for a pretty un-intuitive user experience. Is there a setting of something we can tweak to get the "People" tab by default to show up in the search results page?Site title apply only for editing user's language
Hi. I've set up my Office 365 account to use English as display language, while my co-workers are using Norwegian as their display language. So menus and so forth on our Sharepoint online sites are for me displayed in English. I've create a few, modern communication sites, in which the default title was set to "Communication site", and locale set to Norwegian. When my co-workers who are using Norwegian as display language, set a new title, the new title does not affect me - I still get the default "Communication site" title. So it seems that when we create and customize new sites and their titles, the page's title will be different depending on the visiting user's default display language - users like myself who use English as display language, won't get the correct page title, while users with Norwegian display language get the correct title. How does other companies handle this sort of issue? The way it works now, it seems we have no control over what page's title will be displayed to our users, as this seems to be totally depending on whatever display language setting they've defined.Re: Recommendations for custom theming of modern SPO sites
jcgonzalezmartin Thanks. I see that the referenced SPFx project looks quite outdated, as it requires Node v10. Likely the project dependencies are old as well, meaning that there may be critical bugs I don't want to deploy to my production environment. If other SPO admins have created a custom theme and could like to advice on which approach they went for, I'd appreciate it.Recommendations for custom theming of modern SPO sites
Hi. We'd like to adjust fonts, menu item styling, colors and so forth to match our company branding. I came across https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-extensions/tree/master/samples/react-application-injectcssthat allows for uploading custom CSS files to SPO, which looks promising. Is this the approach other SPO users (w/modern sites) use? Have you managed to get the above SPFx project working, and custom CSS applied to your sites? If possible, we'd like to apply the custom theming only to a subset of our sites, so if there's a way to use for example powershell to loop through our sites and apply a custom CSS we'd probably do that.Building sp-dev-fx-extensions fail with "Could not find any Visual Studio installation to use"
Hi. I'm looking to apply a custom CSS to our SPO sites, to apply company theming. I came across https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-extensions/tree/master/samples/react-application-injectcsswhich looks promising, but I'm having some issues. According to the documentation, I thought that simply uploading the custom CSS file would suffice, but apparently it doesn't (unless I'm doing something wrong). Have anyone gotten this to work? As a plan B, I though I'd build and deploy the SPFx project, just in case this indeed is a prerequisite.

Hi. I'd like to upload a custom CSS to SPO, so that we can brand our pages according to company policies. I'm using my Office 365 admin account to upload a CSS to our SPO style library, but when I try and upload the file, the upload get stuck here: As desribed in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/allow-or-prevent-custom-script, I've run the Set-SPOsite https://ourtenant.sharepoint.com -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0 command, waited 24 hours, but still it doesn't work. Does anyone know what may be causing the upload to be stuck like this? I've read that other people get some kind of permissing denied, which is resolved by running the above mentioned command, but it seems that this is not the issue for me.Re: SPO: Make people search more accessible
Alireza Rahimifarid Thanks for your input. Maybe I'm missing something, but the links you provided doesn't seem to be related to my particular issue - I'm not missing search results from particular sites, but rather missing people altogether in the search results, and I have to do two searches before the people directory is searched and the "people" tab appears in the search result.SPO: Make people search more accessible
Hi. In our intranet SPO modern landing page, we have a search box just below the "Share"-button on the right part of the screen. When I type in a name and hit enter, I get redirected to a search screen (https://eduumb.sharepoint.com/sites/MittNMBU/_layouts/15/search.aspx), and get the "We found 0 results for John Doe." message. When I press the "Search all content for John Doe" link at the bottom, I get the expected result. Is there a way to configure the search box to search our user directory the first time I search for a user, rather than having to search twice before locating the user? Can I have a dedicated search box for user searches only?Limit search sources to a subset of our SPO sites?
Hi. In our upcoming SPO based intranet, the URL for our Intranet related sites all start with the same keyword (example: http://acme.sharepoint.com/sites/intranet_"). Ideally, when our users search for contents on any of our intranet sites, we'd like to limit the search results to content from our Intranet sites, i.e. contents from sites whose URL starts with http://acme.sharepoint.com/sites/intranet_. Is this possible accomplish out of the box?
