Multilangual sites - how to link pages as an language version
Hello everyone, before the introduction of multilingualism in SharePoint we started to build 2 independent site collections to represent two languages. With the multilingualism these are to be integrated now to a common Site. In the page properties I could not yet find a property that links the page of the default language with the respective translation page. Is it also possible to copy existing pages into a page library and then assign them manually as language variants of a site?
Sharepoint Library Folder Depth - filename/path limits
I have two questions regarding SharePoint library limits (or best practices?). A couple of years ago we were advised to limit our folder depth in SharePoint libraries to no more than 3 folder/subfolders deep. We were told there wasn't a folder limit specifically, but either there was a limit (or maybe just issues) if the filename/path was too long. As I said it's been at least two years since we were advised this and I didn't know if this was still an issue. 1. We now have a use case where a department is moving several thousand files into a SP Library and the documents are in a nested folder structure that's definitely more than 3 folders deep. There's nothing to prevent them from doing this. What are the potential consequences/issues of this type of a library? 2. And on a related note, is there an update to the recommended limitation of 5000 docs in a library (or is it a limit per folder)? And what are the potential consequences/issues of a library with more than 5000 docs?
Default - "Open Read Only" for Office Files
Looking for a way to set the default behaviour to "open read only" for office files stored in SharePoint I know that you can set this per document (https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/make-a-document-read-only-in-word-5c25909c-46d9-4eb0-9d1f-d072a560e340) but we want that to be the default behaviour for all documents stored in SharePoint. is this possible ???
Sharepoint - Prevent a new version each time a document is read
Hello, i am using Library in sharepoint for managing documentation using version and simultaneous collaboration on Word and Excel file. This is great. However, there is a drawback : each time someone open a document just for read it, a new version is store which is not releated to a real change. I ask users to download file an open it localy when not change is required however, errors happened and it is not easy for everyone to not forget this rule. One solution is to force checkout of the document before change (option in the library of sharepoint). In that way, a box appears at the end of the user operation for asking to checkin the new version. In this way the user will not checkin if nothing changed and prevent error. The drawback is that it prevent simultaneous editing 😞. I am looking for a way to not prevent simultaneous editing but be sure that not new version is created if not change has been made to the document or ask confirmation to the customer when a new version if about to be created in sharepoint. Is it possible ? Using power app ? How ? thank a lot for your help.Save document library as a template option has disappeared
Hi I am the SharePoint administrator, and only a few week ago, I saved a document library as a template (which I have done many times). I went to do this today and the option has disappeared. The custom scripts are enabled, so that is not the issue. Also, in the Site settings under Web Designer Galleries, only two options are now there, where there was a list of options. Has Microsoft made a change recently that would disable these? I have made no changes in our admin centre. I would be very grateful for any advice!
