SharePoint thinks a user still has a lock on. I can't adminsitratively do anything with the file online. This has been going on for almost a day. We've cleared cache, closed Excel on his computer, cleared out some local cashe directories, rebooted, etc. Nothing is clearing up this lock. All I want to do is delete the file at this point, and I can't even do that. What are my options as a Global Admin?Solved655KViews4likes96CommentsImport excel into existing list (with data already in it)
Hi, Is it possible to import data from an excel sheet into a SharePoint list that already contains data in it? Basically I just want to add to the list that's already in SharePoint without overwriting the existing lines or having to create a new list each time. Thanks!Solved577KViews1like51CommentsCopy or Move Site Page from one site to another
Hello, I've been searching to see if this is possible but it appears with the modern experience, you can only copy a site page to the same Site Pages library in the same site. If I switch my view to Classic Experience, I can copy a site page to another site if I put in the URL path to the other site's Site Pages library. Does anyone know if this will be available in the modern experience? We have to use ShareGate currently to copy modern pages from one site to another but we would like to have the ability to do this in the SharePoint UI. Thanks, Thao392KViews6likes40CommentsSet preference of opening in Office Online or Office App
We would like to see some kind of preference that a user can set to open files from SharePoint directely in the Office Apps instead of Office Online when clicking on them. This saves an extra click, and makes that SharePoint isn't showing many tabs for all opened documents (and next to that our users prefer to working in the Office Apps).Solved331KViews2likes27CommentsE-mail from no-reply@sharepointonline.com
Hi In this quite "new" blog: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/skywriter/2017/02/13/office-365-weekly-digest-2017-06/ It's written "We're updating the OneDrive for Business Internal Sharing Mails. Mails sent from sharing documents from OneDrive for Business to internal users will have a new modern look that provides more information to the recipient as to what's being shared at a glance. At this time these mails will no longer be CC'd to the original sender. We will be replacing this behavior by sending these mails from the original sender's mailbox (as opposed to a no-reply address) in the near future." I like this :) I also would like to have this behavior on mail's sendt from SharePoint Online (no-reply@sharepointonline.com), when files in documentlibrarys are shared. Do anyone know if it's any plan to move in that direction? Br. RuneSolved284KViews0likes8CommentsDesktop Shortcut to Sharepoint Files
Hi, I currently have a lot of users sharing a small excel file which is currently over OneDrive but im seeing a few minor teething issues with so many people connected (<15 people). The file itself is stored on sharepoint.com site and so I wondered if its possible to directly open this file with the desktop app? The problem im experiencing is, I can browse the folder structure and open this in Windows explorer, however if I close the webpage down it appears to drop the credientials and the location is no longer available through windows explorer. I've tried desktop shortcuts directly to the file, to the parent folder but all drop the access once the webpage is closed. Is there another way of achieving this? I really wanted to strip out any middle software such as OneDrive or Teams and just go straight to the Sharepoint File. Thanks262KViews0likes29CommentsExternal Sharing to Non-Microsoft accounts
Is it possible to share files to people without having them create a Microsoft account yet? I'm sureI read a blog post saying there was to be an update to external sharing where people would receive a token number to enter, rather than having to create a MS account. Thanks242KViews1like40Comments
