For Retention Policy, if I set Retain + Delete, does it delete the original file/copy/both?
Hello, I am learning about Retention Policy for SharePoint Online and wanted to get a confirmation on this option below. Let's say I chose to retain for 10 years based on when it was created AND said Yes to "Do you want us to delete it after this time?" option. After 10 years, does it delete original files, copies that are generated in Preservation Hold Library, or both? This part was a bit confusing for me lol

Column Descriptions hidden behind Choices in Quick Edit (Bug)
We logged the below support ticket with Microsoft (a bug) and according to them, it's by design :/ Context: When you are in Quick Edit View, you can't see the Column Description until you click on the field. The bug arises for Choice, Lookup or Managed Metadata columns as the Column Description is hidden behind the choices (Remember the description only shows when you click on the field - which expands the choices) - so you can't see the description at all for those types of columns. Microsoft have come back twice now saying that it's by design - and even further, they said it meets Accessibility Standards (really). We are getting Microsoft too frequently responding to our tickets saying what are clearly "bugs" are "by design" and when we press them further, they eventually admit it's a bug and look to address it. For the one below, am I just missing something, or do others see this clearly as a bug? Note: The Colors column has a description (but it's hidden behind the choices).How to connect SharePoint site access user details via Google Analytics data studio
Hi Experts, Good day, I would like to create new reports in Google data studio (Google Analytics), with the data source coming from SharePoint. I need to import site access user counts, including the number of views and counts. I know that we can export this data via the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center, but my client does not allow tenant access due to data privacy concerns. Could you please advise on how we can achieve this? Specifically, I need to collect SharePoint document and file access user details daily and connect this data to Google Analytics on daily basis. If you have step by step instruction details or if you have alternate way to achieve this let me know. Regards, Gokul
Issues cloning Teams/SharePoints - takes long, fails and won't be provisioned
Hello out there, currently we are facing issues when cloning a team via different apps. For example third party tool (provider already contacted so ..) or even via graph api with powerautomate/logic apps. Since last friday teams are taking way to long (can take upon several hours) before they are created. Normally it doesnt take more than 10 minutes. Settings and channels are not being cloned either when the team has been created, they take even more time or are not created anyways. No outdated secrets or certificates here .. everything is fine and has worked before. No changes made in the app in Azure and so on .. . Graph API says it can't find the list even if the SharePoint of the group has been created successfully - Time delay is also implemented. Permissions for the app registration are also correctly set and worked in the past. Anybody facing similar issues?Guest Access to SharePoint

Starting about 2 weeks ago, a recent Microsoft SharePoint update has been having the same issues we saw a year ago when they pushed updates. Put a couple user stories below for context. I can tell the update has not hit all users yet because my excel icon at the top is still green, whereas all the effected users have a black and white excel icon. (See Pic) User opens up their prefiltered view (aka their que) in a document library and then filters again on a specific column to work on a specific vendor and then clicks on the pdf which launches the preview. if you watch the background thru the tinted area, you will see that the list immediately reverts to the unfiltered original list, and when the user clicks the next document button, they are looking at a file that was not intended to look at for the task they are completing. User opens up a view that is not the default one, gets their que of items to deal with, clicks on the first pdf in the list and the list behind the previewed file changes to the default view, which is intended only for those who have their name in the people column that is responsible for that file. in this case, that list is blank for the user because their name is not in the assigned to column. meaning that they can't move on to their next item to assign out and instead have to go back to their view and then click on the next item. This is really affecting performance and sanity for my admins that are trying to do what they have been doing for 6 years now.
