We have other extranet sites up and running which does display the logo. I cannot figure out what i can be. Some ideas or suggestions on what to check would be really helpful 🙂 Thank you.
SharePoint online document library - document properties not getting update values in word document
Hi All, We have created an application in SharePoint online. This application creates Word documents in which SharePoint list fields are merged. When creating a new item in SharePoint, the Word document shows the correct date values: 1. Create new item in SharePoint. Dates are 1/9/2025 and 2/9/2025 2. Opening the related word document shows This is correct behavior 3. Change any field through 'Edit properties'. Still the dates are 1 and 2/9/2025 4. If I open the Word document now I see that the dates have a value of 1 day less then the provided date. The category is updated correct. 5. When downloading the document the correct values are shown 6. Also when opening the document through View in browser > Edit document > Open in desktop, I see the correct values Question is: 1. Why don't we see the correct values when the Word document is directly opened in the browser? 2. Is there a possibility to open the Word document always in the Client (desktop) itself instead of directly on the browser? We already tried changing the below Advanced library settings (changed it in Open in Browser/use the server default), but this didn't gave the correct solution.
Maximum value for SharePoint List unique ID
Hi everyone, I have a SharePoint List that gets updated daily. I have 25000-30000 items that get completely deleted every night and then created again with new values and content. So every new item gets a new list ID. I'm a little bit worried because, even though SharePoint lists can store up to 30 Million items, what happens when the unique ID assigned to each item gets "overflowed"? For example, right now the last item's ID is 480368, and as I said before I create 30000 new items every single day , so doing a simple math it would take 1000 days to reach an ID number of 30000000 (if that's possible, I don't even know). What happens when the ID reaches a limit? Would it break the list? Will I be able to keep creating new items? Just to make it completely clear: the list will never reach the 30 million limit. It will always stay on 25000-30000 items. But I'm scared that the ID will break this process in less than 3 years. Thanks for your help!
Difficulty loading Teams Channels folders in SharePoint
During the last week, I've had users struggle to access Teams channel folders from SharePoint for web. They can navigate into the Document library, but when they click on the Teams channel folder, it hangs and fails to load. Currently, they are using a workaround to access the Teams channel directly and click 'open in SharePoint.' I've also had issues with the files tab in the same Teams channels loading. I get an error message that the page could not be loaded.
Export SharePoint Calendar with All Events in Calendar View
I need to export my SharePoint calendar exactly as it appears in the Calendar view, including all events for each day, without collapsing into "+X more." Currently, SharePoint does not provide a built-in feature to export the calendar in its visual month/week layout. I am looking for a solution or workaround that allows me to: Export all events while preserving the calendar layout (month/week view). Ensure no events are hidden or collapsed. Use methods such as connecting the calendar to Outlook for export/print, Power Automate to generate a report, or other feasible options. My goal is to have a complete calendar view outside of SharePoint for reporting or sharing purposes.SharePoint Calendar View Events Collapsing into “+X More” Instead of Displaying All
In the SharePoint calendar (Month view), when a specific date has more than two events, the system only displays the first two events in the day cell and collapses the remaining items into a "+X more" link. This limits visibility, as users must click to view additional events instead of seeing them directly in the calendar grid. We need a solution or customization to allow all events for a single day to be displayed within the calendar view without collapsing into +X more.
Quick Links “Button” layout drawers stuck open on modern SharePoint page
We’re using the Quick Links web part in Button layout on a modern SharePoint Online page. Normally, the label “drawer” only appears when you hover over the button. Recently, the drawers under all buttons are stuck permanently open (see red lines below marking the title drawers that I want to disappear). We must use the Button layout for our design standards, so switching to another layout is not an option Our IT team says there’s no HTML/CSS toggle to control this, and publishing an older page version would undo recent changes without guaranteeing a fix Rebuilding the web part isn’t realistic since we don’t have all the original links and images. This has happened before, but usually it “clears up” after some time — this time it’s persistent. Has anyone else run into this? Is this a known regression with Button layout, and is there a fix? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Disable presence in SharePoint Online file viewer - anyone got Roadmap ID419814 working?
Hi All - Happy September! We publish sensitive internal content (e.g., salary scales) in SharePoint Online for easy, up-to-date access. The issue: when hundreds of colleagues open the read-only Word/Excel files, they can see each other’s presence and live cursors. This also happens on externally shared links, exposing colleague names. Naturally our HR SLT are concerned about this behaviour. Workarounds tried We created read-only variants of the Word/Excel files, which initially suppressed presence indicators. However, we’re now seeing the unwanted presence behaviour again on those read-only files. This seems to have changed in the past few days. We saw Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 419814 (“Disable presence in the file viewer”) referenced last year, which sounded like exactly what we need. Unfortunately, we’ve not been able to make this work in testing, and our configuration options seem limited. The SPO code we used was: Set-SPOSite -Identity https://tenant.com/sites/sitename -HidePeoplePreviewingFiles $true Ask to the community Has anyone actually received this feature and confirmed it works at tenant/site level? If yes, how are you enabling it (SharePoint Admin Centre setting, PowerShell, PNP, policy, or feature flag)? Does it reliably suppress both presence rings and live cursors for: internal viewers with view-only permissions; and externally shared links (including cases where the viewer is authenticated as a guest vs. anonymous)? Are there any link type or site sharing policy dependencies (e.g., “People in your organisation” vs. “Anyone with the link”) that change the behaviour? Any browser/client caveats you’ve seen (Word/Excel for the web vs. desktop, mobile, or embedded viewers)? If roadmap ID419814 isn’t viable, what sustainable alternatives have you used that don’t force us into static, less accessible PDFs? We’d really like to avoid pushing users to download static PDFs for accessibility, versioning and user experience reasons. Ideally, we want: If anyone has got this working, I’d really appreciate a short call or DM to compare notes and replicate your setup. Many thanks tony

Sharepoint List Lookup question
Hi I have a Sharepoint list which uses columnn "sfg" as a look up, it then returns "sfglifecycle" for instance. I want to add a calculated column that references uses the figure that's been returned in "sfgLifecycle" and times it by ten, is this possible? if so, how do i go about doing it?
