Build AI-powered apps without creating a vector database
How do you build AI-powered applications that can reason over enterprise content while maintaining security, compliance, and governance? The latest SharePoint Embedded post explores how the https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/build-ai-powered-apps-without-creating-a-vector-database?utm_source=social-M365dev can make it easier to ground AI experiences in content stored within customers' Microsoft 365 tenants. We also look at the SharePoint Embedded MCP Server (preview), an open-source developer tool that enables AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code or the CLI, Claude, Cursor, and Azure AI Foundry to help provision, configure, and manage SharePoint Embedded applications using natural language. Together, these capabilities help developers: Ground AI on enterprise content Avoid managing a separate vector database Respect Microsoft 365 security and compliance controls Accelerate development with AI-powered tooling https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/build-ai-powered-apps-without-creating-a-vector-database?utm_source=social-M365dev to learn how to build the next generation of intelligent, enterprise-ready applications.Join Microsoft and M-Files on Sept 23: Content readiness for AI and Agents webinar

SharePoint List Web Parts - New UX
Hey everyone, I am hoping I can get some assistance on the following request. My organization's using SharePoint to manage multiple processes, but am confused with a new UX update that's come in the last few days. Please look at the following example, which is a list with a modern calendar view: For all of my lists, that are used as a web part on a different Site Page, have been given an ability to add a 'New Item', by selecting the title name, which's very frustrating as all of our list processes already have their own system to collect information and it seems as though I cannot turn off this functionality. Any help would be very much appreciated.Dynamic Mandatory Fields

Can not move any web part around once placed inside one of these flexible sections
I have been advised to use this flexible section for more freedom with placement on the grid. Once a text web part or any web part is dragged from the toolbox onto this flexible section it becomes immobile. Neither the Move cursor state nor the Move web part handle on said web part allows the web part itself to be moved in any way inside this section. Screen captures included below for clarity. Move cursor: Move web part handle: This bug persists with any web part dragged out of sharepoint's toolbox onto this flexible sectionlive weather forecast on sharepoint site
I would like to display a live weather forecast on sharepoint site that shows the current and next 5 days weather forecast. I have tried weatherwidget.io but the code doesn't seem to be working on SharePoint. Please can anyone advise me on how to proceed. Thanks
