Linking documents/pictures to other sites?
What is the correct way to use documents and images stored in a Home Site library on other SharePoint sites? I need to embed images and create hyperlinks to documents on pages in other sites. I have been using the “Copy link” button, which creates a sharing link with individual user permissions. The problem is that if I move the picture to another folder within the same library, the image sometimes disappears from the page. Occasionally the share link still works after moving the file, but not always. What is the recommended way to do this, and is it fully supported?
Delete the "Shared with us" link on navigation menu for modern sites

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileLockException
I am building a tool to upload the data to Microsoft Sharepoint excel file. There are many users who can use the file at the same time, but it is critical for me to be able to upload the data to the particular worksheet in that specific file all the time. However it seems that when the file is used by other users I cannot do the updates to the file and I am getting this error: '{"error":{"code":"-2147018894, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileLockException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"The file XXX.xlsx is locked for shared use by email address removed for privacy reasons [membership]."}}}' Is there a way for me to force an update to the file? To remove this Lock exception?
Opening .msg files from sharepoint natively in Outlook
Hi I am wondering if there is a method of opening .msg files in a similar manner to .xls and .docx, where you can open them natively. The current way sharepoint opens .msg files does not allow access to the attachments in the emails, nor can the message be forwarded unless explicitly downloaded. Classic sharepoint immediately downloads the file, so it does not mitigate the issue experienced here.File Type Version Limits
Hi all, In trying to solve an old issue I stumbled across this new feature currently in preview and am wondering if the file type arrays will be editable or if new arrays could be or will be added? I have a handful of file types which do not need 100 versions, let alone a version every 2-5 minutes, requiring frequent culling...

Renaming a folder with too many files
One of our teams has a Team/SharePoint site with an archive folder. Everything in there is old files, and they'd like to rename the folder. However, we get the error that it exceeds the list view threshold. I've spent the afternoon trying to find out how to get this folder renamed and so far nothing has worked. The general consensus is to create a filtered view, but I'm not sure what to filter it based on, as all of the files have been there and untouched for some time, causing most of the columns I could index be fairly similar (they were moved to SharePoint 3 years ago from an on-prem fileshare). One of the options I'd seen was to sync it using OneDrive and rename it locally but that still gave me the same error. I also tried renaming the folder from within Teams without success. If someone could provide some guidance for how to get this done, I'd appreciate it. Right now, I'm thinking I'll just have to move a bunch of stuff out of some of the folders to temporary locations, but even that is challenging as I'm not aware of a good way to get a count of items in folders and subfolders in SharePoint to know which are the best ones to move out.Trimming SharePoint Version History - Minor Versions
Hello, I am a SharePoint Admin at my organization and I have been asked to reduce our total storage usage by reducing the number of versions and minor versions in our environment on all SharePoint sites. I have written a simple PowerShell script that loops through a csv file with site addresses, and runs this command per site -> New-SPOSiteFileVersionBatchDeleteJob -Identity $site.siteURL -MajorVersionLimit 100 -MajorWithMinorVersionsLimit 5 It was my understanding that for all sites in the csv file, for all document libraries on the site, and for all files in the libraries this command will reduce the file to the last 100 Major versions, and the last 5 minor versions of each major version. Unfortunately, this command is not actually reducing the minor versions. It is working with the Major versions just fine, but all minor versions are being retained for each major version retained. Is my understanding of this command wrong, or is it not working? Are there other factors to consider? Does anyone know of an alternative that can fit my needs? The overall plan is to trim the current version history, then apply the automatic version setting to each library in our tenant. Here is the MS guide I referenced, maybe I missed something -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/tutorial-queue-a-trim-job Any help is greatly appreciated, Cam
