Force OneDrive/Excel to return the local file path instead of a cloud URL
Hello, I have all my 3D models stored in a OneDrive-synced folder, including the Excel file that controls many of the model parameters. I work on three different PCs, so using OneDrive for synchronization would be ideal. However, my modeling software Solid Edge runs into a specific issue: it does find the linked Excel file in the OneDrive-synced folder and attempts to open it, but as soon as it tries to read the parameters, it gets stuck in an endless loop. The reason is that Excel no longer provides a normal local Windows file path for the workbook—even though the file is fully available offline. Instead, Excel exposes the OneDrive/SharePoint URL, and Solid Edge cannot process this URL, which causes the loop. What I have tried so far: Enabled “Keep files on this device” for the entire project folder Completely shut down OneDrive (disabled it and killed all OneDrive processes in Task Manager) Tried changing the stored Excel path inside Solid Edge from a local path to the OneDrive URL — Solid Edge does not accept URLs as valid paths None of these attempts solved the issue. If anyone has a reliable method to make Solid Edge read a OneDrive-synced Excel file as a local file path, I would really appreciate your help.
Issue where SharePoint users see an old unsynchronised Word file
The issue is that users open a Word document from a shared library into the desktop app, only to find that: There's no Autosave feature enabled in the top-right. The document version label we add on the frontsheet shows a very old minor version. I believe also that the file is read-only, and the only option they see is to save a local copy and upload it back to the library; which is not good practice since it's an old version. They report that the issue is resolved after exiting OneDrive, and deleting a Local cache folder. Has anyone experienced this issue and know what to try?Unable to add new Managed Metadata tag to Library items
I have SharePoint Admin permissions. There is a field I'm using called 'Publisher', which is open, yet doesn't allow us to add any new term. The setup looks like this: Within the Global term store: https://<domain>-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/AdminHome.aspx?modern=true#/termStoreAdminCenter - Term group -- Term set (Publisher) (Submission policy - Open policy: Users can add terms from a tagging application.) --- Adidas --- Reebok --- Nike Within the Site term store: https://<domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<Site>/_layouts/15/SiteAdmin.aspx#/termStoreAdminCenter there are no term groups visible. In the Site Documents library: Content types are enabled. I have a Publisher column, associated with most of our content types. There's a default publisher, "Our company". The column settings include "Allow users to type new values". The Issue Regardless of whether I edit in grid view, or in the Details pane, once I click enter, or exit the field, or in the tag menu, the new publisher doesn't save. Users cannot enter a new publisher term. Debugging I have tried toggling term store settings (closed/open). I've tried toggling the "Require that this column contains information" (since it works for similar issue people commonly have with the 'Description' column).

Tried all resetting options Microsoft and web search is giving. No other result. Can anyone help me? trying to reach the support leads to "this support is currently not available"
Template References to offline SharePoint On-Prem Server
Hi All, We have encountered an issue after migrating from SP 2016 into SP Online and taking the old on-prem server offline. Some templates that we have used in the past (.dotx, etc.) have references to the old SP2016 environment embedded in them. Since we have shut down our old 2016 Server, documents created with these templates take minutes to load as it appears the template reference 404's attempting to access the old server to check if the template exists. The file is loads completely fine after the check fails, as expected, because it is now a file and not the template. I have 2 Questions: Does anyone encountered this or something similar and know of a way to resolve this issue? Are there ways to tell which files have been affected by this issue? We have files both locally and in SP Online that exhibit this behavior, which could mean that there are different ways to resolve this. Thank you,
