3200 TopicsIssue 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?6Views0likes0Comments- 23Views0likes1Comment

Hello! Can someone advise how I can add a user to a SharePoint site with no Owners/Members or Admins? It is a Classic SharePoint subsite so I cannot modify any settings using the SharePoint Admin Centre so I need to find a script or a method of some sort to allow me to add a user account to the site to then be able to review it/decommission it etc.? TIA!Solved67Views1like2CommentsTemplate 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.

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.59Views0likes1CommentFresh Win11 install, fresh Office365 install, Onedrive backup no connection to OneDrive-service

Hello All! Our company transitioned over to SharePoint Online about a year ago. One of the largest complaints I have to date, is the time it takes to move or copy files. In cases of one or two files, the time is minimal. But in cases where larger file moves are taking place - the pace of transfer is painfully slow. For example, today it took approx. 30 mins to transfer only 45.8 MB. Earlier this month, an employee spent the entire day waiting for files to transfer, only for her computer to stop responding, and have to re-start the entire process the next day. On our previous server based environment, the same transfer would take less than 30 minutes. Additionally, in some of these larger file moves, users have reported large losses of data. The files were moved, and confirmed, only to come in the next day and they have disappeared. This issue is decreasing adoption and causing our IT team multiple headaches. Any suggestions or helpful feedback?Solved125KViews4likes57CommentsBest Way to Generate Durable Document ID Links
Hi everyone, The purpose of the Document ID feature in SharePoint is to create durable links, but what is the intended way to generate and copy those links efficiently? Most common link creation methods such as the "Create Link" button in a SharePoint record still generate path-based links even with Document ID enabled. Even using the Document ID column doesn’t provide a direct way to copy the Doc ID URL, as clicking it simply redirects back to a path-based link. The only way I’ve found to copy a Document ID link is: Go to the SharePoint library Right-click the record Open the details pane Right-click and copy the Document ID URL This method is cumbersome and impractical, especially for synced files. As a result, users will likely default to copying path-based links, which defeats the purpose of durable Doc ID links. Has anyone found a better way to easily generate and copy Document ID links without extra steps? It seems like this issue has been raised for years without a proper solution.

I have a question regarding Preview of files. In Office 365 there are a lot of options to preview files. But I am looking into SharePoint server. And especially into eml and msg files can you preview them in SharePoint On Premises? And is it already possible in the 2013 version or do you need to upgrade? If a upgrade will be made it will be 2019. Is it also important to have Enterprise or Standard if it works? Thanks in advance.5.5KViews1like3Comments
