Step-By-Step: Provisioning a Microsoft 365 Developer Tenant and Assigning Roles to Team Members
Are working on a project and looking to collaborate with others? In this article, we will explore the process of provisioning a Microsoft 365 developer tenant and assigning roles to team members, ensuring they have the right access and permissions to carry out their tasks effectively.
Microsoft Loop: Ability to create/add diagrams in pages
Often we need to explain, discuss, agree on subjects that need to be supported by diagrams. These diagrams are often subject to changes as result of the interactions with the different stakeholders. It would be important to have the ability to add these diagrams directly in the loop workspace pages, instead of inserting images.
Ability to add Categories to the Favorites menu on the App.
The Outlook desktop app doesn't allow you to add Categories (Contacts can be added but through a cumbersome workaround) to the Favorites tab and it could help tremendously with visibility on specific emails. You can do this in Outlook Web, but the functionality is missing in the desktop app.
Microsoft Graph API Inplace Archival Mailbox
Hi Team, We are using Graph API to fetch in place archival mailbox for office 365. but can not fetch details, there was a document having an older folder name ' ArchiveMsgFolderRoot but this also not working. i have also searched possible solution to get this data but seems there is no support existing for same. It would be great if Graph API can provide support on fetching the same. ThanksBetter note-taking and annotation tools across all plattforms (at least for Apple iOS/iPadOS)
We'd like to see better note-taking and annotation tools across all apps on the iOS platform, but also better integration with Windows, Android, and macOS. Many enterprise customers use various tools like Adobe Acrobat, PDFExpert, GoodNotes, Notability, etc. for their workflows. Usually, these tools are used as annotation tools due to their very basic functionality in OneDrive, SharePoint and Office products. For simplicity, we will "only" deal with the iOS platform in the following. When using annotation tools in an enterprise context, companies usually need a way to prevent data loss. Unfortunately, very few vendors offer AppConfigs or Intune SDK-enabled apps. Therefore, it would be even better if Microsoft already offered appropriate options in the apps for the platform. Best case, a consistent experience, regardless of platform. For the user it would then be a seamless process and for ITSec no further action would be needed on the app side once M365 has been approved (and for iOS/Android MAM/APP has been enabled). Let's take a look at a typical, everyday process: - Documents that need to be signed, approved, or commented on are converted to PDFs or already exist as PDFs - They are uploaded to OneDrive, giving the employee or approving colleague/supervisor access to the documents - Annotations are made using iPads (with 2nd generation iPads Pro and Apple Pencils). - Everything is stored on OneDrive - In the past, an app was set up for this, but the annotation features were pretty frustrating there too, and it was an enterprise app, so it was always pretty much work to keep it running (and make it cool and secure) Well, to improve the situation, here's what we've found out so far and suggest: - Some time ago there was a Microsoft blog post, for better integration of Apple Files and Microsoft OneDrive / SharePoint. Apple said they haven't changed anything, but Microsoft said they are working on a new implementation for iOS 15 that affects Apple Files and OneDrive. iOS 16 came out - and it's still the case that the OneDrive content is visible, but not writable and sometimes the Files app says "read only mode" at the bottom (but rather rarely) - Inside files we can't open, read or interact with files from OneDrive, but we still see all content - Inside OneDrive, a PDF is always opened with the PDF viewer inside OneDrive, same with the Office app - resulting in an eraser, three silly pens (not worth calling pens) and a highlighter - In Office, if you open another app for Office content like Excel, Word, or PowerPoint, there's already the drawing tool, which offers some cool and usable pens - In PDFExpert or similar apps, the tools are "ok", but there is also a dynamic feature that gives a more natural writing feel (still not cool, but nicer) - In the Apple Files app, Notes app, or whatever, Apple's note pens come into play (available as Apple PencilKit as an SDK)-the coolest, the best, and the ones that no one ever has to learn how to use because they just work naturally, like we learned to do as kids Having established the necessary context, let's conclude with three questions: - How can we solve the problem with Apple Files and View and Annotate? - How can we ensure that pens from the Office suite get into the OneDrive PDF view for a better annotation experience? - What can we do to consolidate pen capabilities across Apple and Microsoft? Again, at best, a consistent experience regardless of platform.
Unable to create Microsoft 365 developer account for Indian developers
I tried to create Microsoft 365 developer account from India, but there was no option populated to select country "India (+91)" while verifying mobile numbers. so In fact all Indian developers can't create M365 developer account right now and this has been disappointing us. Could you please make the country India (+91) available on the drop down list, while verifying mobile number. so that we can create M365 developer account. kindly treat this on high priority and assist us. Thank you in advance!Videos with Alpha Channel in PowerPoint (already works on Mac, not on Windows yet)
Hello! There's a feature that I use a lot in PowerPoint that only works on Mac PowerPoint that I would LOVE it if it worked on Window's computers too... Video playback for videos with an alpha channel (i.e. a video with areas that are fully transparent, allowing the slide underneath to *show through*) Here's an example that I exported on a Mac from PowerPoint: https://youtu.be/OJ1tNWzSv1w Notice how you can still see the text and white slide background underneath when the fly enters? That same slide on Windows would turn the entire slide black as soon as the fly video begins, so you wouldn't be able to see the slide content underneath.
Config Azure application proxy using the graph API
I added https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75145084/config-azure-application-proxy-using-the-graph-api explaining the issue.
