Is using Planner for tracking OKRs a good idea?
So our team has been trying to use Planner to track OKRs. We set up buckets for each objective and tasks for key results. It kinda works for a small team but now that leadership wants to roll it out company wide, its getting messy. Theres no way to show progress rollups from team-level OKRs to company-level ones, no percentage tracking on key results, and managers cant see a consolidated view across teams. Has anyone found a decent way to make Planner work for OKR tracking at scale?
Access VBA performance dramatically slowed since June Update
We are running an access based application with a large vba project. One customer with four different instances of this project experience extreme slow down in performance on all instances during the last week. We made no changes. The Microsoft Office Update was applied automatically. We believe the problem happened then. We have tried reverting to several different previous versions of Office but symptoms still remain.
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.2026.02.20 - Planner UI update is worse
The UI changes to Planner within the latest Teams desktop app update (version 26032.208.4399.5) has regressed in its functionality and is worse than before. Previously, all of the contents of an item in the Planner were visible at the same time. Now I have to tab between Task Details, Attachments and Checklist, and am unable to view these at once, which has become a critical workflow for me. It is extremely irritating, as I've developed a workflow around how Planner was presented (which was that everything within a task was visible at once), and now it has been compartmentalised. Please unwind this - it is a regressive update and provides less information and requires more interaction to work through the detail of a task.

SharePoint Limitations of OneDrive App for External SharePoint Guests
Hello everyone, I am part of an organization and have created two SharePoint sites: one site for all members one site only for the board External guests have been added to both sites. Problem: Several of these guests would like to use the OneDrive app (desktop or mobile) to access the shared content. This is where I am stuck. Situation in detail: Some guests do not have a Microsoft account, others have created one themselves The SharePoint sites and documents are shared correctly, and access works via the browser In the OneDrive app, however, guests do not see any content Nothing appears under “Shared” The SharePoint sites are not visible Questions: How are external guests supposed to see SharePoint documents in the OneDrive app? Do guests have to have a Microsoft account, or is an email-invited guest sufficient? Is there an official or recommended approach for enabling guests to use OneDrive/SharePoint meaningfully via the app? Or is the OneDrive app simply not intended for external guests? Additional question: Is it officially supported or expected that guests can only access SharePoint content via a web browser (on PC and mobile) and not via the OneDrive app at all? I find a lot of contradictory information on this topic, and it has cost me quite a bit of nerves by now. Thank you very much for any explanation or best practice. Best regards, Nina
HTML-code breaks displaying of multi-line column with RichText in PowerApp Canvas App
I have a canvas app that works on the basis of a SharePoint list. I work in an environment where a researcher makes a work order, this is then sent to the responsible that has to approve it, then the planner plans it and following that, it is executed. This chain of events is all managed with a SharePoint list that has a status that can be changed. Different people have different permissions to edit items. To manage this, we display the list through a CanvasApp where logic is built to ensure that people with a certain role can only select/edit/see certain items. However, a big part of the canvas app is the description of the work order. In the SP-list this is a multi-line field where RichText is enabled. When the work order description is long, and especially when rich text formatting is used (for example colored text), part of the content is displayed incorrectly. The text gets cut off, part of the HTML formatting code appears in the description itself, and the full content is no longer shown. This is an example of a list item: Which is displayed in the Canvas App like this: What I observed is the following: In the normal SharePoint list view, the description is displayed correctly. But when I click/open the item in singe item view itself in SharePoint, the editor/form also . This issue only occurs for items that are created from the Canvas App. If I create a similar item directly in SharePoint and enter a comparable formatted description there, the problem does not occur. So it seems the issue is related to how the Canvas App saves the rich text content to SharePoint. It must have to do something with the way PowerAutomate parses that HTML code into SP.SharePoint List Migration to new Tenant
Hi All, I am preparing for a tenant-to-tenant migration of 60+ SharePoint lists that function as the back-end for various PowerApps. Since we are doing a staggered cutover, I need to perform an initial migration now and then run 'Delta' syncs over the next few weeks to catch new records, updates, and deletes. My primary challenge is that SharePoint's native ID column is not preserved during manual migrations (PowerShell/CSV), which will break our App logic and Lookups. How have others handled cross-tenant list synchronization at this scale? Specifically: How do you maintain record relationships and deep links when the system IDs change? What is the most efficient way to handle deltas across 60 lists without buying expensive 3rd-party migration tools? thanks, Jake
