Edit' rights tries editing a document from a different device or browser it is grayed out
Hello Please i need your help on this issue. When a user with confirmed 'Edit' rights tries editing a document from a different device or browser it is grayed out using Edge browser as usually use Chrome. They are logged in to their Microsoft account and accessing the file to be edited in SharePoint. They are trying to edit the file in the browser as they only have an E1 license. The users are in the Customer Success SharePoint group and they are Members with Edit rights. I dont think the document library have the unique permissions that override site-level permissions? Here is the screenshot of the item-level permissions on individual documents or folders? I believe the group assigned at the site level or only at the document library level? The affected user can create or edit a new document in the same library.

OneDrive “Auto Sync SharePoint Library” GPO not working no errors, registry keys present
Hello, I am trying to deploy the “Configure team site libraries to sync automatically” Group Policy for OneDrive, according to Microsoft’s official documentation, in order to automatically sync a SharePoint library for my users. Here is what I have already checked: The GPO is set to “Enabled” with the correct library string and format. The expected keys are present in the Windows registry on client machines. gpresult confirms the GPO is applied. All computers run Windows 10 (22H2), with the latest available OneDrive client. Files On-Demand is enabled. No related errors appear in the Event Viewer after multiple reboots and gpupdate. I have also tried applying the registry settings manually. Despite this, the target SharePoint library never appears for our users in File Explorer or in the OneDrive client. Has anyone faced and solved a similar issue? Are there any hidden prerequisites or troubleshooting tips for this policy? Thank you very much for your help!
Beyond Storage: Supercharging SharePoint with AI in Microsoft 365
In today’s digital workplace, content is more than just information—it is an organization’s most valuable asset. SharePoint has long provided a secure and scalable foundation for storing and managing this content. Now, the next wave of innovation is about transforming content into knowledge. With the infusion of AI in Microsoft 365, led by Microsoft Syntex, SharePoint is evolving from a traditional repository into an intelligent content management platform. AI enables organizations to automatically classify files, extract and apply critical metadata, enforce governance at scale, and even assemble new documents from existing data. This shift reduces manual effort and operational costs while empowering teams to uncover insights faster, make smarter decisions, and unlock the full potential of their content. This blog explores how AI is redefining SharePoint’s role—moving it beyond storage and into the future of intelligent collaboration.
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.Hiding custom buttons from SharePoint column
Scenario: I have created an Power Automate instant cloud flow, linked to a custom button on a SharePoint column. The purpose of this automation and button is to send customers a PDF certificate once they have completed their training. The automation and process is working great, but I would like to tidy up the various buttons I have created, so that only one button is visible. My question is....how can I remove the additional custom buttons from the rows in the SharePoint column circled in red below. I either want one button on one row of the column (highlighted yellow). Or to alternatively put the button up on the command bar instead. I know this can be done using custom views and JSON but I have been struggling to do this so far. Any guidance would be much appreciated.SharePoint Form Conditional Formatting
