2026.02.20 - Planner UI update is worse
The UI changes to Planner within the latest Teams desktop app update (version 26032.208.4399.5) has regressed in its functionality and is worse than before. Previously, all of the contents of an item in the Planner were visible at the same time. Now I have to tab between Task Details, Attachments and Checklist, and am unable to view these at once, which has become a critical workflow for me. It is extremely irritating, as I've developed a workflow around how Planner was presented (which was that everything within a task was visible at once), and now it has been compartmentalised. Please unwind this - it is a regressive update and provides less information and requires more interaction to work through the detail of a task.
SharePoint Limitations of OneDrive App for External SharePoint Guests
Hello everyone, I am part of an organization and have created two SharePoint sites: one site for all members one site only for the board External guests have been added to both sites. Problem: Several of these guests would like to use the OneDrive app (desktop or mobile) to access the shared content. This is where I am stuck. Situation in detail: Some guests do not have a Microsoft account, others have created one themselves The SharePoint sites and documents are shared correctly, and access works via the browser In the OneDrive app, however, guests do not see any content Nothing appears under “Shared” The SharePoint sites are not visible Questions: How are external guests supposed to see SharePoint documents in the OneDrive app? Do guests have to have a Microsoft account, or is an email-invited guest sufficient? Is there an official or recommended approach for enabling guests to use OneDrive/SharePoint meaningfully via the app? Or is the OneDrive app simply not intended for external guests? Additional question: Is it officially supported or expected that guests can only access SharePoint content via a web browser (on PC and mobile) and not via the OneDrive app at all? I find a lot of contradictory information on this topic, and it has cost me quite a bit of nerves by now. Thank you very much for any explanation or best practice. Best regards, Nina
HTML-code breaks displaying of multi-line column with RichText in PowerApp Canvas App
I have a canvas app that works on the basis of a SharePoint list. I work in an environment where a researcher makes a work order, this is then sent to the responsible that has to approve it, then the planner plans it and following that, it is executed. This chain of events is all managed with a SharePoint list that has a status that can be changed. Different people have different permissions to edit items. To manage this, we display the list through a CanvasApp where logic is built to ensure that people with a certain role can only select/edit/see certain items. However, a big part of the canvas app is the description of the work order. In the SP-list this is a multi-line field where RichText is enabled. When the work order description is long, and especially when rich text formatting is used (for example colored text), part of the content is displayed incorrectly. The text gets cut off, part of the HTML formatting code appears in the description itself, and the full content is no longer shown. This is an example of a list item: Which is displayed in the Canvas App like this: What I observed is the following: In the normal SharePoint list view, the description is displayed correctly. But when I click/open the item in singe item view itself in SharePoint, the editor/form also . This issue only occurs for items that are created from the Canvas App. If I create a similar item directly in SharePoint and enter a comparable formatted description there, the problem does not occur. So it seems the issue is related to how the Canvas App saves the rich text content to SharePoint. It must have to do something with the way PowerAutomate parses that HTML code into SP.
SharePoint List Migration to new Tenant
Hi All, I am preparing for a tenant-to-tenant migration of 60+ SharePoint lists that function as the back-end for various PowerApps. Since we are doing a staggered cutover, I need to perform an initial migration now and then run 'Delta' syncs over the next few weeks to catch new records, updates, and deletes. My primary challenge is that SharePoint's native ID column is not preserved during manual migrations (PowerShell/CSV), which will break our App logic and Lookups. How have others handled cross-tenant list synchronization at this scale? Specifically: How do you maintain record relationships and deep links when the system IDs change? What is the most efficient way to handle deltas across 60 lists without buying expensive 3rd-party migration tools? thanks, Jake
Can GUESTS access t Premium Plan in Teams?
I created a Teams Team and want to manage a premium plan project therein. I have the Planner-Plan 1 license. One external supplier is a guest in my Team but he cannot see the Premium plan. Is this by design or is there any wrong setting in my system? I could not find any information on this in the Microsoft documentation. Facts The guest user is part of the team
[BUG] msdyn_project silently renamed from "Plan/Plans" to "Project/Projects" in new environments
We need clarification from Microsoft on whether this is a bug or an intentional breaking change. Overnight and without any announcement, the msdyn_project table now ships with display name Project / Projects in newly provisioned environments. Dev and UAT environments provisioned a few months ago have Plan / Plans out of the box. All environments are running the exact same PSCore version: 1.0.163.730. The entity is as expected, marked non-renameable — read-only in the maker portal — so there is no way to align environments manually. Solution import from an existing environment (where msdyn_project = "Plan") into a newly provisioned Production environment fails with: 0x8004023B: Entity 44286cce-2389-4532-ac04-7a18a2818e9a is not a renamable entity. Hence Entity Display Name cannot be modified The only workaround — and why it is not acceptable It is technically possible to manually edit customizations.xml inside the solution ZIP before importing, removing the <DisplayName> node for msdyn_project. The import will then succeed, but Production will permanently show "Project" while Dev and UAT show "Plan" — a broken inconsistency across environments. More importantly, this is not how ALM is supposed to work. Developers should never have to manually patch solution artifacts to work around a platform-level inconsistency introduced silently by Microsoft. This is incompatible with automated CI/CD pipelines and unsustainable for any team managing multiple environments. The question for Microsoft Is this a bug or a planned change? If it is a bug: when will it be fixed, and is there a supported workaround in the meantime? If it is a planned change: why was it not communicated, and what is the supported migration path for teams with existing environments and solutions? [UPDATE]: After 3 attempts of resetting and reprovisioning the Production environment, msdyn_project finally came up with Plan / Plans — same process, same PSCore version each time. The behavior is non-deterministic. The only workaround currently available is to keep resetting your environment until you get lucky, which is not an acceptable answer for any type of deployment.
Slow UI update for deleted events
I've built an integration that continuously syncs events between an external scheduling system and Exchange Online using Microsoft Graph. I'm observing a recurring issue when deleting calendar events via Graph: A DELETE request to Graph returns success (204 No Content). A subsequent GET /events/{id} returns 404, confirming the event is deleted server-side. However, the event continues to appear in the Outlook UI (both Outlook Web and desktop) for an extended period (sometimes hours), even after page reloads or app restarts. The odd behaviour The event is still displayed in the user interface for up to several hours The event persist through page reloads If the user clicks the event it opens briefly and immediately closes, the event disappears from the UI afterward. Additional details Delete endpoint: /users/{id}/events/{id} Graph response: 204 No Content Verified deletion via GET → 404 Reproduces in both Outlook Web and Outlook desktop Questions Is this a known Outlook client caching or calendar view indexing issue? Is there a way to force client reconciliation after deletes? Are there Graph or Exchange constraints around rapid create/update/delete cycles that could cause this UI inconsistency?"File not found" error (Error 53) when opening Access database
I'm getting a "File not found" (Error 53) error when trying to open an Access database (.accdb file). The error appears during the database startup process and points to a VBA subroutine declaration line: The error message mentions "The file was not found where specified" which suggests VBA is looking for a file during project compilation, but I can't identify what file it's looking for. Has anyone encountered this issue where the same Access file works with some SQL Server backends but fails to even open with others?
Unable to filter embedded list
OMG- could they f up sharepoint any more. It used to be such a powerful tool. It is harder than ever now. So- embed a lits in a page with a list part. I am showing controls and on default view-no search. there is now also NO FILTER PART so i go to github patterns and practices to download. Butttttt, I can't upload because while I am global admin, I am not sharepoint admin and cannot change my permissions. Create second admin account with all permissions. Tr to update my normal account permissions, and it says "you do not have permission to save." SO- do you know any other way to get a search of a list on a page? And - any thoughts on my permissions hell?
