SharePoint permission change notifications not working
Problem: Trying to get Microsoft Graph change notifications when permissions change on SharePoint/OneDrive drive items (sharing, inheritance breaks, access grants/revocations). Using Prefer: includesecuritywebhooks on subscription creation as documented subscription creates successfully, but the header appears to be silently ignored (notificationQueryOptions is always null in response, Preference-Applied header is always empty). What works: Regular content change notifications fire fine. What doesn't: Zero security notifications on any permission change. Subscription request: POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions Prefer: includesecuritywebhooks { "changeType": "updated", "notificationUrl": "https://...", "resource": "drives/{driveId}/root", "expirationDateTime": "2026-06-12T00:00:00Z" } Permissions (all with admin consent): Files.Read.All, Files.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Read.All, Sites.FullControl.All, Directory.Read.All Already tried: Both v1.0 and /beta endpoints same result Every relevant permission combination But the official document says it should work: Link to documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/concepts/scan-guidance?view=odsp-graph-online#receiving-webhook-notifications-for-security-events Any working example or confirmation of current status would be extremely helpful. Happy to share more details or test specific configurations.
Bulk link updates
First off, apologies if this is in the wrong community. All files are held in the same sharepoint library. So in the library there is an excel file which gets updated a couple of times a year and lets say 20 word fiiles containing roughly 5 links per file referencing 4 ranges in the excel file. These word documents are also updated several times a year. When either the excel documented if updated a new file if generated with a new name which replaces the old one and the old one is archived. The word documents are simply edited and renamed with the old one being archived. I'm looking for a way to update the links in the word documents to pick up the same ranges in the new spreadsheet. As it currently stands I need to manually update each link which is time consuming, prone to error and stupid :-) anyone come across this need and if so how did you solve it? thanks in advance
Document Sets - Want Subfolders (not just files) to inherit metadata
Trying to get subfolders (the actual subfolder) in a document set to inherit metadata. We have files and files in subfolders inheriting correctly but currently subfolders in the set do not inherit data. We are using the metadata column for view filter between active/pending/completed job status. What happens is the subfolders don't show in the filtered view so you cant traverse the subfolder structure. Show flat structure is not suitable as its hundreds of files. The shared columns settings in library settings, says it syncs for all 'documents' in the set. This excludes folders. Have tried power automate, but it doesn't seem to work applying the metadata to a folder object. We need to able to change a document set from Active > Pending and all the metadata change. Any ideas on how we can get the subfolders in inherit (and update) the metadata of the document set. Thanks in advance.
Moving Files from a Shared Drive to a SharePoint site
Hi, I've seen the moving of files from a Shared Drive to a SharePoint site can be tricky, depending on the size of the files that are to be moved. What is the best and most effective way to move folder, files. I'm not sure yet of the number of folders and size of the files that will need to be moved? Can anyone provide an advise on this, please.. Regards Chris
Searching on SharePoint Image Gallery only using 'Image Tags'
Hi Our company has an image gallery on Share Point which needs to be user-friendly and efficient. Since we deal with a large volume of images, we are searching for the most effective solution to easily locate the images we need. Although I attempted to use the "Image Tags" column to tag the images, a keyword search on Share Point displays not only tags but also other files and folders containing the word. Is there a specific command or search bar option to view only "Image Tags" keywords? Could you suggest a solution? Thank you!
Metadata for SP library
Want to get rid of folders within libraries. Issue, to sort them with columns every time people have to go into details or edit in grid view to fill them in. How can I create something that's easier for users to enter in the metadata? Goal is setup filters for finding their documents.
SharePoint - Filter stacking
SharePoint list with a Link to Documents (hyperlink) column. When you click the link, it should open to the library where these documents are stored based on the associated ID for the record with all the documents that have that "Document ID", in this case 5550. /AllItems.aspx?FilterField1=ABC_ID&FilterValue1=5550&FilterType1=Text This field is a Hyperlink field The item opens in the library where the documents are all being stored, but is showing an additional filter value (sometimes, it will show three additional values) for example, it will show 5550, 5596, 2208 (all random each time). Is it caching old searched filters? When I go to the library and clear all filters and then filter from the All documents on the 5550, I get all my documents back no problem. I compared the URL with the broken filter to the URL from the all documents filter and they are the exact same Why would this be happening? What is breaking the filter and adding or stacking additional filters to the requested link. Any help to fix this would be appreciated.
Container tree - PnP Modern Search
Hello everyone, I am trying to create a page on one of my SP sites dedicated to search. Specifically, I want to use tags/labels as filters. So far, I have managed to do this using the PnP Modern Search filter tool on one level (I create a column, map the crawled properties with a RefinableString, and configure the filter). Now I would like to do the same thing, but this time on multiple levels with a tree structure. I've created a TermSet and in the filter configuration, I saw this “Container tree” option, but nothing works, and I can't find any help or documentation on the subject. Does anyone have any information? Or a way to use this option and have tree view on the filter? Thank you in advance, any help will be greatly appreciated. Kind regards
