How approves or users can see all the pending approval requests?
We have 10++ sites and on some lists and libraries, inside those sites we define content approval at the list/library level:- Now the users are bit confused, on how they can access those approval requests? is there a screen they can access to see all those pending approval requests? either for all sites or the current site? as currently most of the items and files are pending approval and no one is taking action on them Thanks
Classic Site With Modern Libraries Not Templating To Modern Libraries
Users have one main site collection and create multiple sub sites using classic site template. Users converted libraries to modern experience in site used as template. After saving the site as template and creating new site using that template, we expected the new site would retain libraries modern experience and custom formatting settings but these settings/configurations are not templating over to new site. Wondering if somebody has similar experience and share any workarounds. Currently we are looking at either using script to modify the configuration or manually doing it after creating new site from classic site template. Any thoughts?
SharePoint list threshold limit
Hi We run an access database connected to SharePoint online lists. One of the lists has 16000 items and I need to add an additional field (type lookup) but when trying to add this get an error saying "the attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold" I can't seem to find a way to increase the 5000 threshold limit to get around this. Is the only option to removed items to get the limit under 5000 to then be able to add a field? (we can't create a new list and copy the data in as the autonumber ID from the existing list is used in the database) Any suggestions would be appreciated!Create a SharePoint list with documents from multiple libraries
Hi there, I have a set of 7-8 documents libraries containing documents that need to be updated regularly by various subject matter experts (SMEs) in my organisation. These individuals are listed in the metadata of each document in a 'person or group' column. It's important that we keep the data in this format as we use Microsoft approvals set up to manage the reviews. Another key consideration is that the person listed change fairly regularly as people leave the firm and roles and responsibilities change. What I would like to do is create a SharePoint list that lists each document across the libraries and which people are assigned as the reviewers. Can anyone help me with this? I understand that the lookup column doesn't support the 'people or group' data type. I have seen suggestions for setting up dynamic filtering but this might be a bit cumbersome given the number of document libraries. I could potentially use a Power Automate workflow but am not very literate in this platform so would need pretty detailed instructions. Any help would be much appreciated!

SharePoint List Export to Excel Not Updating After Refresh
Hello, My SharePoint list had 3.5k rows and recently did a huge cleanup and deleted almost half of it. It now currently has 1.6k items. I have exported that SharePoint list to an excel file but when I hit Refresh All in the file, it still has 3.5k line items and still hasn't updated. I did the update around 2pm CST yesterday, and as of writing this it is currently 8:30am CST the next day. I don't understand how when I export to CSV, everything is updated but when I export a new file to Excel or when I refresh my old export that is still linked to my SharePoint list, it isn't updating. Please help. Thank you!Sharepoint CommandbarProps - looking for "Approve/Reject"

Hi, I am useing the built in approval flow for a sharepoint document library, by switching in on here: When an approver is approving/rejecting an item in the library, she/he can give comments: QUESTION: Where are the comments stored ??? I cannot find the comments anywhere. There is no associated column in the library. there is only a column for the approval status... I need to get the comments and send it on in a PowerAutomate notification flow... thanks for your insights. alex.
