"labels" in the left navigation pane
Hi, Can anyone advise me if it is possible to add labels in bulk to libraries? What I am asking badly is....I have over a hundred libraries on a site and they need labels adding to them so they are "grouped" in categories. Some of the labels need applying to several libraries. I have been doing smaller sites manually but the bigger ones will be very tedious and time consuming. I hope that makes sense?Recycle Bin and Site Content Hidden for Site Members and Site Visitors

Accessing External Sharepoint Site
I am able to access internal Sharepoints within my company and have up until now been able to access Sharepoints outside the company. When I now try to access an external Sharepoint, I get the following message on the external company's landing page. "Your account has been locked. Contact your support person to unlock it, then try again...." The external company states they have not made changes any access protocols. Likewise, my company says nothing has changed with respect to the rules/ability to access external Sharepoints. Someone indicated that the Microsoft “federation” settings/setup of the two companies may (now) be incompatible. Has anyone encountered this issue?
SharePoint Online - Issues Saving Site as Template and Activating .wsp Solutions
Hello everyone, Recently I have been experiencing issues when saving a SharePoint site as a template and activating .wsp files within the Solution Gallery. This appears to be a recent change, as the same process and templates have worked successfully in the past. I wanted to see whether anyone else has recently experienced issues with SharePoint site templates (.wsp) in SharePoint Online. Findings: Site type is a Classic Team Site. Custom Script is enabled (DenyAddAndCustomizePages = Disabled). The .wsp file is successfully generated and appears in the Solution Gallery. The .wsp file does not activate. Activation fails with the error: "Activation of solutions with sandboxed code has been disabled." - Prior to this, SharePoint was only displaying a generic "Sorry, something went wrong" error. (All I did was turn content approval on and off in the Solution Gallery Library) Previously working .wsp files also fail to activate. The behaviour has been reproduced across multiple Microsoft 365 tenants. A Microsoft support ticket has already been raised. Has anyone else encountered this behaviour recently, or is aware of any changes affecting .wsp template activation in SharePoint Online? Thank you in advance for any insight or suggestions.
Sharepoint versioning bug with tables
Hi, So i have discovered a bug with the versioning in my sharepoint sitepage. When i edit a random piece of text ie. the title, in a text webpart with a table inside. The table shows up as changed in the version history of the sitepage. Below is an example of the issue. Here i've changed the title from "TitleChange" to "Title" and nothing else. The tables however still show as if they were changed. The first 2 tables are created with the built in tool in the text webpart, but the bottom 2 tables were created in word and then copied over to sharepoint. And as you can see the last table does not change as its suppose to, but the 3. table does. I figure its because something happens when you merge cells. So sharepoint does some sort of formatting that changes nothing but shows as changed. It only affects the table either when its made in sharepoint (1. & 2. table) or have merged cells (3. table), but not when its copied from word and has no merged cells. I've tried taking the html out and compared the before and after using powershell, but theres no change there. So can i stop this from happening or is there perhaps some sort of work around, so the tables dont show up as changed when they're infact not?SharePoint Library Help Needed
I have a SharePoint Library where I would like to implement these requirements below and would appreciate your advise: Folders were created at the library level, which looks like the image below. I do not want people to be able to create any folders or upload documents or folders at the library level, but rather only when they open the folders. I have disabled folder creation and created a PowerApps form, so that users can only upload document, edit documents, view details of the documents when they open any of the folders., but I cannot seem to find the Power Apps form when I open any of the folders and try to upload a document or view a document or edit the document details. 2. I have a choice column called Fiscal Year which has options as = FY22, FY 23, FY24, FY25, FY26. By March 2026, I would like to create an automate flow which will auto create FY27 and remove FY22 from the choice, so that the choice column is always limited to only 5 years.
