Restoring overwritten file by Power Automate
I'd like to know there's any way to restore file which is overwritten by the automation workflow. File is copied from another folder in document library to another folder by overwriting. As I've checked activity of its folder, it shows that workflow deleted the previous file before creating new file. The action in the workflow Currently, I've tried to restore from Microsoft Purview but it doesn't work. Also, these's no anything in recycle bin or second bin. And file doesn't have any version history because it new created one. Thank you in advance for any response, either good or not.
SharePoint online document library - document properties not getting update values in word document
Hi All, We have created an application in SharePoint online. This application creates Word documents in which SharePoint list fields are merged. When creating a new item in SharePoint, the Word document shows the correct date values: 1. Create new item in SharePoint. Dates are 1/9/2025 and 2/9/2025 2. Opening the related word document shows This is correct behavior 3. Change any field through 'Edit properties'. Still the dates are 1 and 2/9/2025 4. If I open the Word document now I see that the dates have a value of 1 day less then the provided date. The category is updated correct. 5. When downloading the document the correct values are shown 6. Also when opening the document through View in browser > Edit document > Open in desktop, I see the correct values Question is: 1. Why don't we see the correct values when the Word document is directly opened in the browser? 2. Is there a possibility to open the Word document always in the Client (desktop) itself instead of directly on the browser? We already tried changing the below Advanced library settings (changed it in Open in Browser/use the server default), but this didn't gave the correct solution.Accessing Teams Private Channels Files in SharePoint
Is there an issue currently with accessing Teams Private Channel files in SharePoint? I have looked but cannot find anything. Recently our users that used to access Teams Private channel files within SharePoint (by going to the sharepoint site and Documents and then In Channels) have noticed that when they click a folder it doesn't take them into a file list, it just does nothing. If they then press F5 to refresh it will usually take them into the list of files. Accessing the files with Teams is fine still, only an issue if you use SharePoint. I've tried this on a few other sites within our Tennant and it happens on our other sites too.
Difficulty loading Teams Channels folders in SharePoint
During the last week, I've had users struggle to access Teams channel folders from SharePoint for web. They can navigate into the Document library, but when they click on the Teams channel folder, it hangs and fails to load. Currently, they are using a workaround to access the Teams channel directly and click 'open in SharePoint.' I've also had issues with the files tab in the same Teams channels loading. I get an error message that the page could not be loaded.
Restrict Document Library so that only specific folders shared with a user are visible to them
We are migrating from Slack to Teams and need a historical archive of our Slack channel conversations. I have an export of my Slack channels (roughly 4000 public channels and 4000 private channels). Each channel is a separate folder with an .html copy of the conversation history of that channel. I want to create two document libraries on a communication site. One for public channels that will be shared with an org-wide group. I plan to move the 4000 public channel folders into there. This is not ideal because scrolling through the list will be very slow but it is the best solution we can think of for this. We plan to educate on how to search efficiently, or use a CoPilot agent to search. The other document library for private channels we want to also share org-wide. However I want to remove inheritance on each folder. And then assign permissions to the folder based on if you were a member of the equivalent channel in Slack. So for instance, I am a member of 40 Slack channels, so I would be granted access to just those 40 channels in the document library. My goal is that a user can access the main sharepoint page, and access the private channels document library, and only see the specific allotment of folders, rather than all 4000. Is this plan feasible? I know there are issues with list view thresholds and potentially drops in performance. How bad might they be? Am I missing anything that could derail this? And permissions management at the folder level after the fact would normally be a nightmare, however in this instance we plan to make this a locked-in-place historical archive. Users would have read-only permissions, and we will never alter the permissions on the site or libraries or folders ever.SharePoint folder "modified" date not accurate
Hi, the date in the system column "modified" for folders is not accurate. Although new files are created within the folder or modified, the folders modified date does not change. Which events trigger the modified date of a folder? Thx for your help. 🙂 Best regards
Connecting SharePoint to Azure
Hi I have a question regarding the following SharePoint Drive on Primary Account My primary account is edwin@getxxx.io. I’m having difficulty attaching a SharePoint drive to this account. This is separate from the OAuth app itself— I simply want to ensure that this account has a SharePoint drive available. Shouldn’t this be possible, and if so, what steps do I need to take to enable it on azure and the SharePoint admin? OAuth Application Account Confusion I created an OAuth application under my edwin@xxx.io account. Strangely, I’m able to connect to it from my other account (edwin@onmicrosoftaccount). I assumed OAuth apps were only accessible within their registered domain. Could you clarify why my other account can access the application, and how account/domain setup should work in this case?
Automating Permissions
Question Title: Automating Permissions for New Document Libraries in a SharePoint Hub Site Based on a Templated CSV Description: I have a SharePoint hub site for all our projects. For each new project, I need to create a new document library within this hub site. The challenge I'm facing is that each document library needs a specific, templatized folder and permission structure for different departments. My goal is to find an automated solution that, whenever a new project library through template is created, it automatically applies the correct folder structure and permission levels as defined in my template. Are there any other out-of-the-box SharePoint features or Power Automate that can accomplish this?Reuse images
