Navigation- and text-inserted Hyperlinks disappear — Sharepoint Online
Hi everyone! I'm facing the following issue in SharePoint Online: When linking external pages (on an old SharePoint 2016 or on Engage) in the navigation or in the text of a news article (etc.) some of those links disappear after a while and when we try to re-insert the link, it doesn't get saved at all. At first we resorted to creating a new nav point and inserting the link there (which then worked) but this just isn't sustainable. Apart from that, hyperlinks in texts just unlink themselves and have to constantly be redone. I've read on here that in some cases of MAC users the links may contain the characters %E2%80%8B, which when removed solved the issue, however we don't use Macs and haven't found those characters in the links yet. Does anyone happen to know what this might be and how it can be solved? Thanks, SarahEmbedding a list of external URL's into a sharepoint page.
To keep things easy for users, I wanted to create a very simple table / grid of links , that go to external reporting pages. I tried initially embedded HTML + inline CSS into an 'Embed' element, only for that to simply generate an error, eventually I uploaded an HTML page to Sharepoint Site documents, and used the embed link for that, however, ALL anchor tags ONLY open when CTRL / Command - Clicked, and don't open like normal tags, even with Target= "_Blank" etc.. Am I missing something obvious ?
Excel document links are broken when I upload from desktop to Sharepoint?
I have an issue where we are trying to migrate staff documents into Sharepoint Online. Many staff within the company use Excel documents which contain links to other Excel documents, in other words updating a cell in one file also updates automatically in another. I've created two test documents and linked them together. When I upload them both to Sharepoint and update the cell in the master document, the second document does not update. The second document also shows the following error: Without keeping the integrity of links this poses as a massive problem for our migration. Is there any fix or solution for this? ThanksEffect of changing the default link type
I know it's possible to change the default link type users get for sharing as described here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Change-the-default-link-type-when-users-get-links-for-sharing-81b763af-f301-4226-8842-8d13bd07face?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US Our SharePoint site collection worked so far with the Internal option but that contradicts with how our permission structure is set up. We would like to change it to Direct. What are the effects of such change? (Besides the intended one of course). How the existing links will be affected? Thank you in advance!
