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.
Restrict Document Library so that only specific folders shared with a user are visible to them
We are migrating from Slack to Teams and need a historical archive of our Slack channel conversations. I have an export of my Slack channels (roughly 4000 public channels and 4000 private channels). Each channel is a separate folder with an .html copy of the conversation history of that channel. I want to create two document libraries on a communication site. One for public channels that will be shared with an org-wide group. I plan to move the 4000 public channel folders into there. This is not ideal because scrolling through the list will be very slow but it is the best solution we can think of for this. We plan to educate on how to search efficiently, or use a CoPilot agent to search. The other document library for private channels we want to also share org-wide. However I want to remove inheritance on each folder. And then assign permissions to the folder based on if you were a member of the equivalent channel in Slack. So for instance, I am a member of 40 Slack channels, so I would be granted access to just those 40 channels in the document library. My goal is that a user can access the main sharepoint page, and access the private channels document library, and only see the specific allotment of folders, rather than all 4000. Is this plan feasible? I know there are issues with list view thresholds and potentially drops in performance. How bad might they be? Am I missing anything that could derail this? And permissions management at the folder level after the fact would normally be a nightmare, however in this instance we plan to make this a locked-in-place historical archive. Users would have read-only permissions, and we will never alter the permissions on the site or libraries or folders ever.Mandatory audience targeting before publishing news
Hi all, I'm looking for a way to make the "Audience Targeting" field on a news post mandatory before publishing. My editors should not be able to publish a news post without this field being filled. I've tried enabling the "Require that this column contains information" field in the "Target Audience" column in the SitePages library, but my editors can still publish. As far as I know, this setting only results in a message in the SitePages library to fill in the field when I go to the actual library. I would very much prefer not to do this using Power Automate or PowerShell. Surely there must be a way to make this field mandatory using the SharePoint interface? Thanks in advance.Why does Microsoft's spell/grammar check give incorrect information?
There's enough terrible grammar and spelling in the world without a tool designed to eliminate it instead making it worse. I'm working in SharePoint, and cannot get the tool to stop giving me this bad advice, which would turn a correct sentence into one with a tragic error.
Document library doesn't appear for users in Excel/word
Hi all, I'm trying to make life easier for everyone in our office by having a SharePoint site to store any shared documents rather than saving them in the users OneDrive. However, it's not quite going according to plan. I created the site with a document library etc and added the required members to the site, but I had different results for each user. Some could see the site after browsing all in quick access, some users could see the site in quick access straight away and others couldn't see the site or browse to it at all. I found that sharing one of the document folders with the users, then enabled them to see the site and all folders in the library. Then I discovered that when sharing files, they only had the option to save them in OneDrive and the site didn't display as an option, the only way round that was to save a copy in the SharePoint library and share it from there, which wasn't very helpful. I'm hoping that I've done something really wrong when setting the site up and someone can point me in the right direction, because as it stands using SharePoint really not working as well as I'd hoped.Sharepoint CommandbarProps - looking for "Approve/Reject"

SharePoint Termstore Coloumns not showing up accordingly
Hello Community. I have site/Intranet and site/IT. I would like to have a news Webpart on a website site/Intranet, which is able to filter for certain news released on site/IT. For that purpose, I created a Termset and integrated the according coloumn in both site's page libraries. Now, when I'm trying to filter for those news on site/intranet (they are tagged with "Security" in site/IT), I can find the coloumn (owstaxidThema), but I cannot for the live of me get it to filter for anything. No matter which input I insert in "Title contains...", I get an empty response. I already tried to register that Termset in the microsoft search admin center under another label, that didnt bring any success either. Any help would be much appreciated.Struggling to filter News from one site to another
Hello Community, simple usecase: I have multiple Sites in one hub called Intranet. My main hubsite is sites/intranet. I have another site called sites/IT. On that site, I've added a managed metadata coloumn to the pages library with tags like "information security", "AI", "Cybersecurity".... to tag my news on sites/IT Now, I would like to place a news webpart on sites/intranet, which filters for a) only news from sites/IT b) only news with the tag "cybersecurity". I cannot seem to find the correct coloumn to filter for, what am I doing wrong? I tried adding the "same" managed metadata coloumn to sites/intranet. "same" as in create a new coloumn, give it the same metadata choice and give it the same name. If thats the mistake, how do i really create a hub-wite Coloumn in SharePoint online? Thanks in Advance
Mismatching storage limits
We have a Microsoft 365 tenancy with several sharepoint sites, but the sharepoint admin pages don't agree on how much storage capacity we have access to. Storage Metrics says that our Site Collections have 25,600GB of available space. The properties pages for our sharepoint sites says we have a 25TB storage limit in the General tab. Both numbers are near enough as makes no difference. But the Active Sites page says that we have a limit of 4.75 TB for all our sites. Does anyone know why the Active Sites page is so starkly under reporting our actual storage limit? Or have any suggestions how to rectify this?
