I have a general question about an Entra scenario that we currently need to implement. Our company consists of 3 companies (companyA.com, companyB.com, companyC.com), each with their own MS Tenant. Here, A is the parent company and B and C are subsidiaries. Is it somehow possible, perhaps with Cross Tenant Synchronization from B, C -> A, that users from the subsidiaries can log in with the parent company's domain name in Entra, Teams & Co., and that Teams invitations can also be sent via an email address of the parent company? So I have mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons and I would like this user to also be known as mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons in the Microsoft ecosystem. From a marketing perspective, it is important that all employees log in and are reachable with the same domain. A migration into one tenant is probably not easily possible for legal reasons. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Christian30Views0likes1CommentConditional formatting in SharePoint lists using JSON
I have my conditional formatting working if I only refer to one number. As can be seen in the image below if the cell I want to format has the number "1" in it the formatting works. I would like the same formatting to work if for example the number was less than "2" or between 3 and 5. I've tried several options with starting with "=if...", but it either breaks the conditional formatting or doesn't make a change. I have been able to find an example that matches the attributes. Full disclosure the conditional formatting continues so I can apply different colors to other individual numbers. I'm hoping the if I resolve on the set of numbers the others will follow the same framework.57Views0likes3CommentsOneDrive/SharePoint permission problem
Hello, the problem is that we have a user which wants to share file(s) with another user. If he shares the file and he gives him permissions for read and write the he is still not allowed to open it, even if he askes for permissions an those will be granted it still does not work. This works (or does not work) with several files, but not with all. If those files ares shared with other users it works instantly. We have another user with this problems, the only thing they have in common is, that both were deactivated over a period of I think 5-6 months or even longer. It is not with every file, and it does not matter if those files were uploaded in SharePoint or OneDrive and it does not really matter who uploaded it. If I e.g. downloads a file which does NOT work and I upload it again it works. I am not sure if I described it properly, but this problem only appears for 2 users which were disabled and unlicensed for a longer period of time. Is the only way to fix this to delete the account and create a new one, so that a whole new User ID is created and nothing is related to the old user or is there a proper way to handle it, because to delete the account and create a new one is more or less the last thing I want to do.

We're all licensed (verified) with M365 Copilot, and for about the last week, one of our workhorse intake forms has stopped working with regards to the "Insights from Copilot" feature. When we attempt to refresh the insights, it presents the message, "Your form has XX responses. Copilot is analyzing the data to provide insights.", then spins for about 30 seconds, and then presents the error, "The insights haven't been generated successfully. Please try again." We're syncing responses to an Excel workbook, and that seems fine, but after about a week these "insights" just started failing in this fashion. We've done basic troubleshooting like trying InPrivate browsing, cache clearing, and since we are only at about 100 responses for this particular small form we're not hitting any limits. Regardless, it's wedged stuck in this state. I reported it via the M365 Admin portal and received the usual "No issues found" reply. 🙄 Anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone actually use this feature? 😜115Views0likes2CommentsQuickly add approval workflows to any list or library in Microsoft 365

With over 2 billion files added and 2 million sites created per day, SharePoint is the world’s most powerful and flexible content management platform. SharePoint allows you to create stunning intranets, orchestrate powerful workflows and develop business-critical applications, while also powering a breadth of innovations across Microsoft 365 in Teams, OneDrive, and Copilot. The SharePoint event today showcased an exciting breadth of innovations across SharePoint. With these innovations, we believe SharePoint is the best platform for managing content for AI, and the best application for using AI to achieve high impact business outcomes. The innovations shown today span three key areas – Agents built in SharePoint: create and manage AI experts for your SharePoint content with just a few clicks. AI-powered authoring for stunning intranets: use AI to easily create beautiful looking intranet sites using the best of what the web has to offer. Automation for streamlining business workflows: automate critical content-based business processes with AI.

Agents built in SharePoint: AI experts for every user At Microsoft Ignite 2024, we announced the general availability of agents built in SharePoint. These agents are tailored assistants scoped to specific SharePoint sites and content, becoming your subject matter experts working on behalf of a person, team, or organization to handle simple tasks or more complex business processes. Every SharePoint site now includes an agent grounded to that site’s data ready for immediate use. With just a few clicks users can easily create their own custom agents with specialized skills scoped to their specific SharePoint files and folders. And of course, agents adhere to existing SharePoint content permissions and governance polices, ensuring your data and content are used in a safe and secure manner. We see our customers using agents today for a range of scenarios such as onboarding, product support, planning and more. Amey is just one such customer who is using agents built in SharePoint to get the most out of their content and knowledge real estate on SharePoint. AI-powered authoring: Create and communicate with AI. Today you saw a range of capabilities that allow you to build SharePoint sites that look better than ever. With improvements like flexible layouts, design ideas, co-authoring, and Copilot throughout the experience, this represents a huge step forward for SharePoint’s UX capabilities. Creating high quality, engaging content on SharePoint has never been easier. Creating with Copilot With the new "create with Copilot" feature you can either use a prompt or use a selection of templates to create an engaging page, grounded in the content of your choosing, in minutes. This allows you to spend less time on the mechanics of creating the page and instead focus on the core message and content to maximize engagement and impact. Using Microsoft 365 Copilot in SharePoint to help create and design the sites you want with ease, and assistance. Design ideas: Augment creativity with AI. Design Ideas leverages your content and provides several professionally designed suggestions, automatically taking your content-specific requirements into account.

You can even use Design Ideas starting with blank sections or plain blocks of text! Design Ideas in the right pane of a SharePoint page showcasing different suggestions. Flexible sections: Build unconstrained For the longest time ever, SharePoint restricted you to building within the three columns framework. We heard your feedback - with Flexible sections, you now have access to all 12 columns on the SharePoint canvas! Move images, text, and all your other favorite web parts around with fine control, and freely resize them in an easy, intuitive manner. And with AI-based authoring features like Design Ideas, it allows you to take full advantage of Flexible sections to provide the best possible layout recommendations for your content. 12 column canvas with Flexible Sections on a SharePoint page. These innovations and more have been rolling out to customers over the past several months. See how customers such as Avanade are using these capabilities to create engaging and beautiful content, and how Takeda sees a future with the latest innovations. AI and automation for streamlining your work Billions of pieces of content are added to SharePoint each day relevant to both, small team collaborations, and broad company-wide initiatives. This puts SharePoint in the middle of business processes both big and small. From out of the box simple approvals and automation, to site, doclib, and list templates and all the way to Power Platform integration – Automation in SharePoint spans the continuum of business processes to get work done faster and at higher quality. As just one example, over 3 billion Power Automate flows run against SharePoint every week. In this next phase of innovation, we are excited to share more about how automation and AI integrate together. Enhance business processes with AI Autofill is one feature that enriches content by extracting and generating structured metadata at scale – increasing the value of your content real estate. Using a natural language prompt you can describe the metadata you need, easily classifying, extracting, or generating new content as metadata. This will automate the process of new and modified files, saving you time and enhancing your business processes. Price change updates As part of our commitment to make advanced AI accessible to everyone, we are also excited to announce that SharePoint Autofill pricing has adjusted from $0.05 per page to $0.005 per page starting in March 2025!
