AutoSave disabled when opening SharePoint-synced files from Finder after macOS Tahoe 26.6 update
Files stored in SharePoint Online and synchronized locally through OneDrive are opened as local documents when launched from Finder. Office applications display "Saved to my Mac" and AutoSave is turned off by default. However, opening the exact same files through Word/Excel > Open > Sites, or via SharePoint "Open in Desktop App", correctly identifies them as cloud documents. In that scenario, AutoSave is enabled and collaboration/version history features work as expected. Troubleshooting already performed: OneDrive reset and re-linked SharePoint library re-synced Signed out and back into both Office and OneDrive Removed Microsoft credentials from macOS Keychain and re-authenticated Recreated local OneDrive sync relationships Verified OneDrive File Provider extensions are enabled Verified Office applications and OneDrive are fully up to date Tested with newly created files and existing files Tested "Always Keep on This Device" with no change in behavior The issue appears to be specific to the Finder-to-Office launch path after upgrading to macOS Tahoe 26.6. Before upgrading to macOS Tahoe 26.6, opening the same SharePoint-synchronized files directly from Finder correctly preserved cloud document identity and AutoSave was enabled as expected. I discussed this issue in detail with Apple Support, but they quickly dismissed it, saying that the problem is not on Apple's side and that I should contact Microsoft instead.
Office Home & Business 2019 license no longer recognized after reinstall ("No license found")
Hello everyone, I'm looking for some help because Microsoft Support has not been able to solve this issue. I own a genuine perpetual license of Office Home & Business 2019 for Mac, linked to my Microsoft account since August 2019. The license is still listed under Services & Subscriptions, but Office no longer activates. My hardware MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012) Model: MacBookPro10,2 Intel Core i5 8 GB RAM macOS Ventura 13.7.8 Installed using OpenCore Legacy Patcher Office version originally working: 16.78 Later tested with 16.101 and 16.93 Same result on every version What happened Office had already been successfully activated and worked normally. I was able to: create documents edit documents save documents After restarting the Mac, Office suddenly requested activation again. Since then it has never activated successfully. Initially Office failed to activate with an unknown error. After completely uninstalling and reinstalling Office using Microsoft's installer, the activation process changed. I can now successfully sign in with my Microsoft account, but after authentication Office displays: "No license found for this account." My Office Home & Business 2019 license is still present in my Microsoft account under Services & Subscriptions. Even though my Microsoft account clearly owns Office Home & Business 2019 for Mac. Microsoft account The license appears correctly under: Services & Subscriptions Office Home & Business 2019 for Mac Added to my account on August 7, 2019. The website instructs me to open an Office application and sign in to activate. Everything I've already tried Uninstalled Office completely Installed Office again using Microsoft's installer Installed Office 16.78 Installed Office 16.93 Updated to Office 16.101 Removed Office containers Removed Group Containers Deleted OneAuth cache Deleted Entrabroker cache Removed activation tokens Cleared Office preferences Signed out and signed back into Microsoft account Deleted Office credentials from Keychain Reinstalled Microsoft AutoUpdate Verified no MDM profile exists Verified Internet Accounts Verified Microsoft account Microsoft Support remotely accessed my Mac and repeated all troubleshooting steps Nothing solved the issue. Additional information Running: defaults read com.microsoft.office returns: OfficeActivationLicense = NoLicense although: OfficeActivationEmailAddress = email address removed for privacy reasons is correctly detected. The activation window successfully reaches Microsoft's login page. Office now asks for my Microsoft account credentials. Authentication completes successfully. After a few seconds Office reports: "No license found for this account." It then offers only two options: Buy Microsoft 365 Use another account Microsoft Support remotely connected to my Mac, completely removed Office, installed a newer official installer, and the problem remained exactly the same. My question Has anyone experienced this after reinstalling Office 2019? Could this be: a licensing server issue? an incompatibility introduced after Office 2019 reached end of support? an activation problem related to OpenCore Legacy Patcher? something else? I would really appreciate any suggestions. Thank you very much. Additional notes: The Office license has been associated with the same Microsoft account since 2019. The same installation was successfully activated and worked normally before the problem started. The issue only appeared after restarting the Mac. Microsoft Support has already remotely accessed my computer and could not resolve the problem.
Bookings Page - Some Error Occurred
Having an issue with a Microsoft Booking page where it keeps encountering the "Some error occurred." when loading. This Bookings page was confirmed working from creation date of May 14th, 2026 to recently, September 14th, 2026. As far as the user has told me, they had changed nothing between those dates. I had worked with the user and tried the following troubleshooting steps: 1.) I had the user switch the publishing from "Available to anyone" to "No self-service". Confirmed that the page then started showing a "Bad request" error and then changed the setting back to "Available to anyone." This did not fix the issue and the "Some error occurred" was still happening. 2.) Confirmed with the user if there was anything that changed that might be causing syncing issues between the staff calendars and the Bookings page. Found two instances (1 user who had they name changed and 1 user who went on leave of absence) and decided to see if these might be causing issues. The user who was on LOA was removed and this did not fix the issue. The user who had their name changed recently was appearing with the correct names in other Bookings pages but still had their old name in this one. Once removed and readded to this Bookings page their name was updated to be correct, but this did not solve the issue. 3.) I had the user check to see if the automated emails from the Bookings were still sending and they were confirmed to be sending. These automated emails do have specific Service links in them that are being received by customers and are working at this time. In regards to the above point, while I was working with the user who created the Bookings page, we found that the Calendar in the Bookings page was not working correctly. It does not show the Bookings that were created consistently and would usually appear blank. The Services that were created have all disappeared, but it looks like a filter is being forced. It shows "Services 52 of 0" and the user tried to remove the filter and nothing occurs. What are some next steps in troubleshooting the Bookings page?
Microsoft 365 Outlook Classic Latest Update Copilot issues
Hello to all, we are currently using the Microsoft 365 Outlook Classic, using version Version 2604 Build 16.0.19929.20172 (Current Channel) Copilot works as expected; However ever since the next update was released (Version 2605 (Build 20026.20076)) some users including me, have been getting the below error: I have tried uninstalling and installing the latest version directly, with the same issue. Scanned for any corrupted system files with no issues,but still get the error; I have tried the update Licence from the Outlook application, with no issues but the copilot something went wrong error keeps on persisting. Internet searches are very vague and the I have found some registry suggestions which I have also tried with no solution. The only way to get Copilot working on Outlook Classic was to revert to a previous working version, only then Copilot works as expected. This only happens in Outlook Classic; Copilot works fine on the latest version of Microsoft Office 365 with Word, Excel, etc. For those that maybe might ask why not switch to the New Outlook, we have had issues with it and it has been recommended to use the Classic Outlook for the time being. Has anyone been experiencing such issues please? Thanks for any help.
Is there a way to create role-specific competency frameworks in Microsoft 365?
We already have a lot of employee information in Entra ID, like job title, department, manager, location, and other user attributes. What I’m trying to figure out is whether we can use those attributes to automatically assign different competency frameworks to different groups of employees. For example, engineers would have one set of competencies, sales another, and managers would have additional leadership competencies. Ideally this would update automatically when someone changes role or department in Entra rather than HR maintaining everything manually. Has anyone built something like this with Entra + SharePoint/Power Automate, or is there a better way to manage competency frameworks while still keeping Microsoft 365 as the source of employee data?
Tracking whether managers actually complete their review cycles on time
Every quarter our HR team has to chase managers who havent finished their performance reviews. Right now they literally track it in an Excel spreadsheet and send reminder emails manually. Its embarrassing honestly. We're an M365 shop and I feel like there should be a way to automate this or at least get some visibility into completion rates without it being a manual process.

I just started using the Cloud Policy service capability in the config.office.com portal. A Powershell module is sorely needed, in part because the UI a) can be slow and b) is uninformative in that the Policy Configuration Review/Summary is too high level and there is no comprehensive reporting of configured configurations and/or policies. Cmdlets that could extract the configurations and for each configuration, it scope, the policies that are configured and their configuration setting; list of all policies and policy configuration where they are configured would be very useful. Even better would be a cmdlet that can assess the policies applicable to a specific user and the 'route' the Cloud Policy Service took to determine them would be very useful in identifying why a particular behavior took place or didn't. This differentiate between device and web apps, where appropriate.
