Issue where SharePoint users see an old unsynchronised Word file
The issue is that users open a Word document from a shared library into the desktop app, only to find that: There's no Autosave feature enabled in the top-right. The document version label we add on the frontsheet shows a very old minor version. I believe also that the file is read-only, and the only option they see is to save a local copy and upload it back to the library; which is not good practice since it's an old version. They report that the issue is resolved after exiting OneDrive, and deleting a Local cache folder. Has anyone experienced this issue and know what to try?
SharePoint Online global storage limits
Does anyone know the maximum total storage limit I can have by adding up user licenses that include the SharePoint service? I've looked at the limits page, but it only shows the maximum limit per site, not the total. Another way to ask the question is, what is the maximum storage I can get by increasing it by 10GB for each license I purchase?Unable to add new Managed Metadata tag to Library items
I have SharePoint Admin permissions. There is a field I'm using called 'Publisher', which is open, yet doesn't allow us to add any new term. The setup looks like this: Within the Global term store: https://<domain>-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/AdminHome.aspx?modern=true#/termStoreAdminCenter - Term group -- Term set (Publisher) (Submission policy - Open policy: Users can add terms from a tagging application.) --- Adidas --- Reebok --- Nike Within the Site term store: https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<Site>/_layouts/15/SiteAdmin.aspx#/termStoreAdminCenter there are no term groups visible. In the Site Documents library: Content types are enabled. I have a Publisher column, associated with most of our content types. There's a default publisher, "Our company". The column settings include "Allow users to type new values". The Issue Regardless of whether I edit in grid view, or in the Details pane, once I click enter, or exit the field, or in the tag menu, the new publisher doesn't save. Users cannot enter a new publisher term. Debugging I have tried toggling term store settings (closed/open). I've tried toggling the "Require that this column contains information" (since it works for similar issue people commonly have with the 'Description' column).
Sharepoint - Prevent a new version each time a document is read
Hello, i am using Library in sharepoint for managing documentation using version and simultaneous collaboration on Word and Excel file. This is great. However, there is a drawback : each time someone open a document just for read it, a new version is store which is not releated to a real change. I ask users to download file an open it localy when not change is required however, errors happened and it is not easy for everyone to not forget this rule. One solution is to force checkout of the document before change (option in the library of sharepoint). In that way, a box appears at the end of the user operation for asking to checkin the new version. In this way the user will not checkin if nothing changed and prevent error. The drawback is that it prevent simultaneous editing 😞. I am looking for a way to not prevent simultaneous editing but be sure that not new version is created if not change has been made to the document or ask confirmation to the customer when a new version if about to be created in sharepoint. Is it possible ? Using power app ? How ? thank a lot for your help.SharePoint Document Libraries: New UX, AI Actions & Forms Explained

Best Way to Generate Durable Document ID Links
Hi everyone, The purpose of the Document ID feature in SharePoint is to create durable links, but what is the intended way to generate and copy those links efficiently? Most common link creation methods such as the "Create Link" button in a SharePoint record still generate path-based links even with Document ID enabled. Even using the Document ID column doesn’t provide a direct way to copy the Doc ID URL, as clicking it simply redirects back to a path-based link. The only way I’ve found to copy a Document ID link is: Go to the SharePoint library Right-click the record Open the details pane Right-click and copy the Document ID URL This method is cumbersome and impractical, especially for synced files. As a result, users will likely default to copying path-based links, which defeats the purpose of durable Doc ID links. Has anyone found a better way to easily generate and copy Document ID links without extra steps? It seems like this issue has been raised for years without a proper solution. Thanks!Preview .eml and .msg files in SharePoint on premises
I have a question regarding Preview of files. In Office 365 there are a lot of options to preview files. But I am looking into SharePoint server. And especially into eml and msg files can you preview them in SharePoint On Premises? And is it already possible in the 2013 version or do you need to upgrade? If a upgrade will be made it will be 2019. Is it also important to have Enterprise or Standard if it works? Thanks in advance.
