Licensing Requirements for SharePoint Advanced Management
Please confirm Licensing Requirements for SharePoint Advanced Management? I ask because I believe there is a scenario where if I have one user account in my M365 Tenant (say this one user account was treated like a service/admin account) and this same user account was subscribed to the Monthly Copilot subscription; it could also therefore subscribe to the SharePoint Advanced Management subscription too? Afterwards, then this user account could do the SharePoint Advanced Management tasks. Sincerely, Joe Botelho
Automatic Version History in SharePoint Online, hourly, daily and weekly versions?
I am considering on enabling the automatic setting for version limits in SharePoint Online, however, is still unclear to me, how the algorithm identifies hourly, daily and weekly versions. From the documentation this is what it says about: All versions created within 500 count limit in first 30 days. Hourly versions (versions created at the top of the hour) between 30 to 60 day period. Daily versions (versions created at the beginning of each day) between 60 to 180 day period. Weekly versions (versions created at the beginning of the week) beyond 180 days or more are available indefinitely until the maximum 500 count limit has reached. My question is, what is considered "at the top of the hour" or "beginning of each day/week"? Does it mean that only versions created at 09:00, 10:00, 11:00 will be kept? What if the version has been created at 09:03 or 09:46? Additionally, what if there are several versions created within the same time frame, which one will keep? I hope my question is clear enough. Thank you so much in advance.

unable to edit sharepoint page
Hi Experts For a unified group sharepoint site, none of the user is able to edit the page as it is giving message user1 is editing this page. user1 is no more the member of this unified group, neither siteadmin, siteowner or groupadmin. user1 does not exits its disabled account in AD. When other users try to discard user1 's changes, it says it will revert everything back to some previous date. experts guide me onthisBackend team says they cant sync pictures anymore...
We have the ability for users to upload their own photos turned off because we have a professional photographer that takes all of our pics for the suite. Every year I open a ticket to have our pictures synced from exchange online to SharePoint. I have done this for many years. This year when I attempt to have them run the sync, even after referencing my previous years tickets, they say that they wont run it and I have to turn on the ability for users to upload photos. I think this is a lie. I don't understand why they wont just run the sync.Announcing SharePoint eSignature for Microsoft Word
We are excited to announce that SharePoint’s native eSignature service is now integrated with Microsoft Word. This new capability allows you to request electronic signatures directly from Word documents, without the need to manually create PDFs. By bringing eSignatures into the flow of Word, you can create eSignature templates, accelerate document approvals, eliminate physical signing steps, and maintain compliance and security within the Microsoft 365 environment. Figure: Invoking SharePoint eSignature in Word Key features: Seamless Word integration: You can insert signature fields into Word documents and request signatures without leaving the familiar Word interface. The eSignature functionality is accessed from the Word Insert ribbon and eliminates toggling between applications or converting files to PDFs before sending for signature. Automatic PDF creation & storage: When you send a signature request from Word, recipients will sign an automatically generated PDF copy of the Word document. The signed PDF is saved in the same SharePoint location as the original Word file. Your document never leaves the Microsoft 365 trust boundary during this process, ensuring end-to-end security and compliance. Word documents as eSignature templates: You can reuse your Word files as eSignature templates, streamlining repetitive signing processes. Integrated audit trail and notifications: SharePoint eSignature provides built-in tracking. Both senders and signers get email notifications throughout the signing process, and you can view the activity history (audit trail) in the signed PDF to verify when and by whom it was signed. Security and compliance controls: Administrators have control over how eSignature for Word is used in the organization – it can be enabled for specific users via an Office group policy and even limited to certain SharePoint sites. And SharePoint eSignature enables logging of eSignature activities in the Purview Audit log. “SharePoint eSignature for Word gives us a seamless, compliant, and secure way to complete documents directly within Microsoft 365. It streamlines our workflows and increases security by keeping sensitive content inside our trusted environment—eliminating the cost and complexity of third-party tools.” Cloudwell, SharePoint eSignature for Word early adopter How to request a signature in Word Figure: Requesting eSignatures from Word Open a document in Word Desktop: Make sure your Word document is saved in a SharePoint site that has SharePoint eSignature enabled. Insert a signature field: Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon. You will see an option ‘eSignature fields’ (if enabled by your admin). Insert signature fields at the appropriate location in your document where a signature is required. Add recipients and a note: Add the internal or external signers email addresses and optionally include a note for the signers. The note will be included in the mail sent to the signers. Send for signature: Once you’ve filled in the request details, send the request. SharePoint eSignature will automatically create a PDF version of your document and send a secure signing link to the designated signers. The signer will receive an email invitation to review and sign the PDF document. Automatic saving and notification: The signed PDF is saved into the SharePoint library, right next to your original Word document. You can now open the signed PDF to review the document. Once the request is sent, you can immediately send a new request or use the document (with the eSignature fields already inserted) as a template for future agreements. “I can see the integration of SharePoint eSignature, in Microsoft Word, being a game changer for our users. With native eSignature capabilities, our users can initiate and complete the signing process without ever leaving Word. This eliminates friction points allowing our users to stay in the flow of their work.” SharePoint eSignature for Word early adopter, Europe. Benefits of SharePoint eSignature for Word SharePoint eSignature for Word simplifies and accelerates the signing process, offering several key benefits: Faster turnaround: By enabling direct signature requests from Word, you remove manual steps (like printing, scanning, or converting Word documents to a PDF). Enhanced productivity: Users stay in the flow of work. There’s no need to switch focus to send documents for signature. Reusing Word documents as eSignature templates means you don’t have to start from scratch for each new request. Compliance and security: Documents are kept within your Microsoft 365 trust boundary during the signing process. "The feature itself is very user-friendly. One aspect that we particularly appreciated was the automation of the PDF conversion step. Being able to initiate the e-signature directly from Word eliminates the need for manual PDF conversion, making the entire process much more efficient.” SharePoint eSignature for Word early adopter, North America Availability and rollout SharePoint eSignature for Microsoft Word is now rolling out to devices on the M365 Beta and Current Channels and will complete by early July for the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, and the Australia-Pacific region. It will be available globally by the end of 2025. Getting started: How to enable this feature To use eSignature in Word, a few steps are required by administrators: Enable SharePoint eSignature: First, your tenant needs to have SharePoint eSignature configured in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and the Word checkbox enabled. Apply a policy to allow Word integration: Once the service is enabled, apply the policy “Allow the use of SharePoint eSignature for Microsoft Word.” Once this policy is enabled (via Intune, Group Policy manager, or the Cloud Policy service for Microsoft 365) it will activate the Word ribbon capabilities for your users. Client requirements: Users will need to be on Word Desktop using the Microsoft 365 Current Channel (or Beta Channel).

Thanks!notification if Sharepoint site content changes
Hi there, i am looking for a way to get a notification if the content of a Sharepoint site or sharepoint web page changes. For example: Addition of a newspost or a new announcement or creating of a new webpart element. I found no way in sharepoint itself and no way with power automate. Power automate only refers to list and list elements for trigger. Best regards, Stefan
