SharePoint Online Update just released? Web Part Font Glitch
I was searching for any notes on recent changes that Microsoft made to SPO, and I was unable to find any. I noticed they've updated the styling of the icons on the text editor, plus they added the Copilot button. There is a new glitch where if you select some text, and try to type a manual font size it will break and default the text to the smallest font (10pt). This is extremely problematic for me as I have tons of pages I've just finished standardizing with size 50 font which is now impossible to set and use.SharePoint: From Concept to Creation to Impact + Live AMA

Purview Data Lifecycle management includes many ways to apply retention labels to SharePoint Online files, some of which require E5 licenses. Tools are available to show you what files have retention labels, but finding unlabeled SharePoint files is difficult because no out-of-the-box methods are available. Here we show how to use a content search to find unlabeled SharePoint files, and how to adjust the search results to have usable data for further processing. https://practical365.com/unlabeled-sharepoint-files/
Integration of SharePoint/Lists, To Do/Planner, and Forms with Power Automate
Background: I'm an attorney with two legal assistants. I've found Teams is a great way to work with my assistants when I'm in court, etc. to get things done. But I want to take it to the "next level" because there are still a lot of gaps between what we are doing on Teams (tasks, approvals, communicating) and what we still do outside of Teams. Essentially, I want to bring a lot of those things outside of Teams into it so that we work smarter and not harder. Although I'm tech savvy, I'm by no means an expert or developer. Overview: Ultimately, I'd like to integrate SharePoint/Lists, To Do/Planner and Forms. My thought is that I could have one of my assistants do data entry through Forms (create/update) and then use Power Automate to create/update SharePoint/Lists and also create/update To Do/Planner tasks. I'd also like to keep a "Master Lists" in one Team where the Forms reside, and then present that information into different Teams by service so that I have one Team for one type of service, and another for a different type of service. "Master Lists" itself will have Lookup columns to relate data (client contact information, client matters, client tasks, etc.). After a lot of research, I find I can create Forms, create/update SharePoint/Lists based on Form entries and create/update To Do/Planner using Power Automate. One of the issues I'm encountering is taking that information and putting it into different Teams in a way that filters the services (so that Service A is in Team A, and Service B is in Team B, etc.). One of the reasons I want to have separate Teams for different services and not perform this in the "Master Lists" (which is in it's own Team) is because my assistants work on different services; additionally, I am relying on one assistant to do the main data entry of creating a client and populating information (the "Master Lists"), while the other one is just completing assigned tasks and updating information accordingly. I'm wondering whether I am on the right track for what I wish to accomplish. I'd like to be able to show client information in different Teams filtered on the service type so that I can keep things somewhat separate, and it'd be great that either of my assistants could update in those Teams accordingly rather than going back to the "Master Lists" I have. I don't want to keep creating new lists in each Team per my requirements if I can avoid it. Any advice or links to resources is greatly appreciated.When opening OneNote client from SharePoint Notebook, get an error "We couldn't open that location."
When attempting to open the OneNote Windows Desktop client from SharePoint, we are getting the error, "We couldn't open that location. It might not exist or you might not have permission to open it. Please contact the owner of onenote:https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/SiteAssets/Name #1 (V 04, 08, 97 for more information." I gave myself full admin permissions to the site and can fully access it on SharePoint, so it shouldn't be a permissions issue. The original owner of the site is also unable to open this notebook in OneNote. Initially, I thought it might be the way that it was named as the name of the notebook was "Name #1 (V 04, 08, 97 & 377) Notebook." Note that everything after the ampersand in the original error was missing so I thought that maybe just renaming the file would resolve it, but alas, it has not. Now the error reads: "Please contact the owner of onenote:https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/SiteName/SiteAssets/Name #1 (V 04, 08, 97 and 377 Notebook/Untitled%20Section.oneDesign%20Kick-Off for more information." The last part is the section name and tab. When attempting to open the Notebook on mobile, I get the error: "OneNote can't open this notebook because it has been deleted or moved. Please check the link address and then try again." I have renamed it multiple times but still cannot open in the desktop app. Other SharePoint Notebooks that I have access to in the tenant I'm able to open just fine. I have run a repair on my office install.

SharePoint Advanced Management includes a feature called "Restricted Content Discovery" aka RCD. The FAQs mention that: Restricted Content Discovery only affects tenant-wide search (SharePoint home, Office.com, Bing) and Microsoft 365 Copilot But then it goes on to mention: Restricted Content Discovery doesn't remove content from the tenant search index. and: Restricted Content Discovery is a site-level property. I completely understand that its intended use is to give organisations time to review and/or audit permissions and deploy access controls while onboarding Copilot in a safe manner. My focus is custom search solutions and custom apps that use search and should respect the RCD property. Being a property and the content remains in the index, it could be interpreted that RCD feature only works in the named services i.e. SharePoint Home, Office.com, Bing and Microsoft Copilot and it does not apply in Micrsoft Search, custom organisation-wide Search solutions e.g. using PnP-Search, API calls using the Graph etc. Is that the case? Also can the property be queried and retrieved using the Search API or is it limited to PowerShell?Microsoft Describes Top Five SharePoint Features Shipped in 2024
An interesting article by Microsoft’s Mark Kashman lists his top five SharePoint features shipped in 2024. Four of the five features involve extra cost. Is the trend of Microsoft charging extra for most new features likely to continue in 2025? The need to generate additional revenues from the Microsoft 365 installed base probably means that this is the new normal. https://office365itpros.com/2025/01/07/top-five-sharepoint-features-2024/
