Sharepoint versioning bug with tables
Hi, So i have discovered a bug with the versioning in my sharepoint sitepage. When i edit a random piece of text ie. the title, in a text webpart with a table inside. The table shows up as changed in the version history of the sitepage. Below is an example of the issue. Here i've changed the title from "TitleChange" to "Title" and nothing else. The tables however still show as if they were changed. The first 2 tables are created with the built in tool in the text webpart, but the bottom 2 tables were created in word and then copied over to sharepoint. And as you can see the last table does not change as its suppose to, but the 3. table does. I figure its because something happens when you merge cells. So sharepoint does some sort of formatting that changes nothing but shows as changed. It only affects the table either when its made in sharepoint (1. & 2. table) or have merged cells (3. table), but not when its copied from word and has no merged cells. I've tried taking the html out and compared the before and after using powershell, but theres no change there. So can i stop this from happening or is there perhaps some sort of work around, so the tables dont show up as changed when they're infact not?News Posts created via PnP PowerShell using a Page Template don't reflect in News Webpart Properly
I've created some News Posts via PnP PowerShell based on a Page Template which has a single image and some sample text. I then update the text via PowerShell and publish the changes. Everything looks great on the News Post, but when I go into the News Web Part it doesn't show the image (just a placeholder image) and shows the original sample text from the Template and not the text I updated. If I then go into the News Post, Edit and click on Update news (with or without making any changes to the page), the News Webpart then picks up the image and text correctly. $newsTemplate = Get-PnPPage "Templates/News-Template.aspx" $pageName = $newsTemplate.Save("MyNewsPost.aspx") $clientPage = Get-PnPPage -Identity $pageName Set-PnPPageTextPart -Page $pageName -InstanceId $clientPage.Controls[1].InstanceId -Text "Text I want to display in the News Post" Set-PnPPage -Identity $clientPage.Name -Title "Title Of News Post" -PromoteAs NewsArticle -CommentsEnabled:$false -Publish Any ideas on whether this is a known bug? Or is there something that I'm not doing? What it looks like in the News Webpart after initial creation via PowerShell. Note the placeholder image and text from the Page Template. What it looks like in the News Webpart when I go into the News Post, click on Edit, then click on Update news. News Webpart now picks up the image and my text correctly.
SharePoint Library Help Needed
I have a SharePoint Library where I would like to implement these requirements below and would appreciate your advise: Folders were created at the library level, which looks like the image below. I do not want people to be able to create any folders or upload documents or folders at the library level, but rather only when they open the folders. I have disabled folder creation and created a PowerApps form, so that users can only upload document, edit documents, view details of the documents when they open any of the folders., but I cannot seem to find the Power Apps form when I open any of the folders and try to upload a document or view a document or edit the document details. 2. I have a choice column called Fiscal Year which has options as = FY22, FY 23, FY24, FY25, FY26. By March 2026, I would like to create an automate flow which will auto create FY27 and remove FY22 from the choice, so that the choice column is always limited to only 5 years.

How to hide the Modify this view and Create View as per users available in groups
Hi All, I have classic view of SharePoint in list/libraries. I have group(for Managers). I just want want to show and hide the Create View/Modify View/Modify this view depends on users available in group. If user available in group(for Managers) then they can do anything like Create View/Modify View/Modify this view but if user is not a part of the group(for Managers) then they can not modify any Public views but the can create Personal view. Is there any way how I can achieve this functionality?SharePoint List Migration to new Tenant
Hi All, I am preparing for a tenant-to-tenant migration of 60+ SharePoint lists that function as the back-end for various PowerApps. Since we are doing a staggered cutover, I need to perform an initial migration now and then run 'Delta' syncs over the next few weeks to catch new records, updates, and deletes. My primary challenge is that SharePoint's native ID column is not preserved during manual migrations (PowerShell/CSV), which will break our App logic and Lookups. How have others handled cross-tenant list synchronization at this scale? Specifically: How do you maintain record relationships and deep links when the system IDs change? What is the most efficient way to handle deltas across 60 lists without buying expensive 3rd-party migration tools? thanks, JakeI need some simple layman explanation
Hi, I am involved with an implementation of an epm system that is integrated into sharepoint M365 and I started reading on its manual on the setting it up for the first time. I know the steps but I wish to get some simple understanding of why the steps are needed since I am not a very technical person. The tool involves the deployment of an addin in Microsoft word (both web and desktop app). The manual said the addin app can be installed by the user directly from app store or being deployed by the M365 administrator to group of users...but in the section for M365 administrator to deploy this addin app, it said that permission needs to be granted to the app. The permissions are: openid profile sites.selected user.read So why is it ok to let user install directly (without any instruction to set permissions) but when M365 administrator do it, it suddenly needs the given permission? In addition, the manual said to run a powershell script in order to grant permission to the sharepoint site created for the epm system integration. it wrote that sharepoint admin must have Microsoft graph powershell SDK installed and run the script being signed in as site owner. What is this powershell script that it needs special installation to run? Then something mention that when deploying the addin to a group of users, there is a step to run a manifest script. This step might need to be re-execute if there is changes in the addin development. What is this Manifest meant for in Sharepoint? What does it do? Thank you in advance.
PnP Template Error: "Invalid field name {guid}
Hello, I'm trying to apply a site template from one SharePoint Online site to another using PnP PowerShell. I have custom lists, some of them with a specific dependency chain: List X has a lookup to List Y. List Y has a lookup to List Z. All libraries/lists have "Allow management of content types" enabled. The cmdlets I run: Export: Get-PnPSiteTemplate -Out template.pnp -Handlers All -IncludeAllClientSidePages -PersistBrandingFiles Import: Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -Path template.pnp The Error: During the Invoke process, I get: Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate : Invalid field name {guid} targetsharepoint site What I’ve tried: I attempted to manually remove the ID="{guid}" attributes from the XML inside the .pnp package, but that just makes the template schema invalid. Verified that I am connected to the target site with owner permissions. How can this issue be fixed? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!Total Size of Preservation Hold Libraries
