I need some simple layman explanation
Hi, I am involved with an implementation of an epm system that is integrated into sharepoint M365 and I started reading on its manual on the setting it up for the first time. I know the steps but I wish to get some simple understanding of why the steps are needed since I am not a very technical person. The tool involves the deployment of an addin in Microsoft word (both web and desktop app). The manual said the addin app can be installed by the user directly from app store or being deployed by the M365 administrator to group of users...but in the section for M365 administrator to deploy this addin app, it said that permission needs to be granted to the app. The permissions are: openid profile sites.selected user.read So why is it ok to let user install directly (without any instruction to set permissions) but when M365 administrator do it, it suddenly needs the given permission? In addition, the manual said to run a powershell script in order to grant permission to the sharepoint site created for the epm system integration. it wrote that sharepoint admin must have Microsoft graph powershell SDK installed and run the script being signed in as site owner. What is this powershell script that it needs special installation to run? Then something mention that when deploying the addin to a group of users, there is a step to run a manifest script. This step might need to be re-execute if there is changes in the addin development. What is this Manifest meant for in Sharepoint? What does it do? Thank you in advance.
How best to apply extensive edits to a live page?
What are best practices for extensive editing of a live page? I've seen some cautions against working in a prolonged editing session of a live page without publishing it. Instead, some recommend making a working copy of the live page and then when the working copy is ready to publish, you would change the live page URL to something else, followed by changing the working page URL to the original live page's URL and then publishing. What are the pros and cons of this approach? Is there a better way?
PnP Template Error: "Invalid field name {guid}
Hello, I'm trying to apply a site template from one SharePoint Online site to another using PnP PowerShell. I have custom lists, some of them with a specific dependency chain: List X has a lookup to List Y. List Y has a lookup to List Z. All libraries/lists have "Allow management of content types" enabled. The cmdlets I run: Export: Get-PnPSiteTemplate -Out template.pnp -Handlers All -IncludeAllClientSidePages -PersistBrandingFiles Import: Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path template.pnp The Error: During the Invoke process, I get: Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate : Invalid field name {guid} targetsharepoint site What I’ve tried: I attempted to manually remove the ID="{guid}" attributes from the XML inside the .pnp package, but that just makes the template schema invalid. Verified that I am connected to the target site with owner permissions. How can this issue be fixed? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
How to hide the Modify this view and Create View as per users available in groups
Hi All, I have classic view of SharePoint in list/libraries. I have group(for Managers). I just want want to show and hide the Create View/Modify View/Modify this view depends on users available in group. If user available in group(for Managers) then they can do anything like Create View/Modify View/Modify this view but if user is not a part of the group(for Managers) then they can not modify any Public views but the can create Personal view. Is there any way how I can achieve this functionality?
In a PnP search how long does the crawl take
In an Education tenant using SharePoint online if you add a new mapping into the PnP search because the crawled property was unpopulated how long do you have to wait before it is fully populated? Copilot chat suggested 30 minutes to 48 hours. At 48 hours and it managed to find about 45 items. I was anticipating about 900 items. 10 hours later it is still showing 45 items. How do I know if it finished the crawl or just abandoned it, whether it is actually still going or it can genuinely only find 45 items. Thank you.File Type Version Limits
Hi all, In trying to solve an old issue I stumbled across this new feature currently in preview and am wondering if the file type arrays will be editable or if new arrays could be or will be added? I have a handful of file types which do not need 100 versions, let alone a version every 2-5 minutes, requiring frequent culling...

Unable to filter embedded list
OMG- could they f up sharepoint any more. It used to be such a powerful tool. It is harder than ever now. So- embed a lits in a page with a list part. I am showing controls and on default view-no search. there is now also NO FILTER PART so i go to github patterns and practices to download. Butttttt, I can't upload because while I am global admin, I am not sharepoint admin and cannot change my permissions. Create second admin account with all permissions. Tr to update my normal account permissions, and it says "you do not have permission to save." SO- do you know any other way to get a search of a list on a page? And - any thoughts on my permissions hell?
Renaming a folder with too many files
One of our teams has a Team/SharePoint site with an archive folder. Everything in there is old files, and they'd like to rename the folder. However, we get the error that it exceeds the list view threshold. I've spent the afternoon trying to find out how to get this folder renamed and so far nothing has worked. The general consensus is to create a filtered view, but I'm not sure what to filter it based on, as all of the files have been there and untouched for some time, causing most of the columns I could index be fairly similar (they were moved to SharePoint 3 years ago from an on-prem fileshare). One of the options I'd seen was to sync it using OneDrive and rename it locally but that still gave me the same error. I also tried renaming the folder from within Teams without success. If someone could provide some guidance for how to get this done, I'd appreciate it. Right now, I'm thinking I'll just have to move a bunch of stuff out of some of the folders to temporary locations, but even that is challenging as I'm not aware of a good way to get a count of items in folders and subfolders in SharePoint to know which are the best ones to move out.
