SharePoint Online modern pages – spacing/gaps lost between web parts in flexible sections 2026
We're experiencing an issue across all our SharePoint Online modern pages. All existing pages with flexible sections have lost the spacing/gaps between image web parts — tiles are now butted right up against each other with no padding or margins. Key details from our troubleshooting: Affects all existing modern pages across multiple SharePoint sites (8+ sites, many pages) New pages created after the issue started render correctly with proper spacing Affects multiple users in our tenant Tested across multiple devices and browsers (Chrome, Edge, mobile) — same result We are on Standard release, no targeted release enabled No changes made to our tenant settings This is causing our intranet pages to look unprofessional and difficult to navigate. Please can Microsoft investigate and roll back whatever CSS/rendering change caused this. Tenant region: UK
Prevent File download for all users for all files on OneDrive and Sharepoint
Hi! Is there any way to absolutely prevent download of files from SharePoint and OneDrive for all files and all user in my organization? Actually, I want to prevent any local work or local data store on my-users's computers. It means that i want also disable the "open on Desktop app" button, and the printing options. All the work is done via the browser. I know that it is possible per file or per library on SharePoint, but i want to set it as mandatory unchangeable policy for all my users. Thank you!SharePoint Announcements items' body don't save the complete URL of links
I am working on a Power Automate flow to replace the SharePoint Alert feature (which will be retired in July 2026) to send a notification when new items are added to an Announcements list. The flow is working fine, but the links I added to the item's body is partial. The messages sent via Power Automate using Exchange connector replicates this error, so when the recipient receives the message, it looks ok, but the links are broken, because it has only "/sites/finance/home.aspx", not the whole URL (https://company.sharepoint.com/sites/finance/home.aspx). I'm using the classic interface, and even when I enter the full URL, as soon as I move away from the URL field, it changes to a partial, relative URL (/sites/finance/home.aspx, without the first part "https://company.sharepoint.com/"). Note: when I receive the exact same content via SharePoint Alert feature, the links work perfectly. Somehow, the Alert feature replaces the relative path with the whole URL. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks, Luciano Gomes
M365 calendar web part
When editing an organization SharePoint page I have the option of adding a M365 calendar web part. The calendar that then shows up in this web part is my personal M365 outlook calendar. Can this be changed to a different outlook calendar? And if my personal calendar is displayed on the organization SharePoint page, can it be seen by everyone in my organization even if it is set to private in my permissions settings in Outlook?
Sharepoint link shared with me does not seem to be working
Hi, With my new job I was shared a link to my personal gmail address for a folder of documents I need to become familiar with. This was done with an invite link to a Sharepoint folder the documents are kept in to my gmail. When I click the link it prompts me to log into my outlook account. When I log into my account with the same gmail address as the one the link was shared to I do not see the folder that was shared to me. I tried logging into my gmail on outlook and clicking the link again, to the same result. Both times what I see is a web based outlook page with no emails, no documents shared on the “shared with me” tab of one drive and the only documents present are the cloud backup of my personal computer on one drive. I tried downloading the sharepoint app and logging in this way, but it says I need a school or work email and I can’t log in with a personal email address. It’s important I be able to view these documents. I would appreciate any help telling me how to access them.
New Document List '|0' does not exist at site with URL '|1'.
When trying to create a new document, from a custom content type (which has a template), starting from the Documents Webpart, Sharepoint opens the following link: https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/100000042/_layouts/15/CreateNewDocument.aspx?id=https%3A%2F%2Ftenant.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2F100000042%2FSiteAssets%2FTemplate_ESC_Change_Request.dotx&Source=https%3A%2F%2Ftenant.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2F100000042&RootFolder=%2Fsites%2F100000042%2FGedeelde%20documenten&ContentTypeId=0x01010076D558EFC4D9BE4383D7A605E7A59564020009E687B3C8518649A3695E9F903F7224 this throws an error: Error: List '|0' does not exist at site with URL '|1'. But the list does exist and the dotx is in this list. So why do we get this error? and how to fix this? If we try to do the same, but from within the document library, another link is generated by sharepoint: ms-word:nft|u|https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/100000042/SiteAssets/Template_ESC_Change_Request.dotx|s|https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/100000042/Gedeelde documenten and this works like a charm... So why the difference? and how to solve the error?
Your SharePoint Sharing Might Break in 2026
A major change is coming and it’s not getting enough attention. Microsoft is moving away from simple OTP sharing and shifting to full Entra B2B. It sounds like a security upgrade, but it completely changes how external access works. This isn’t a small tweak: Existing sharing links may stop working as expected External users will go through new authentication flows Access will rely heavily on identity and guest policies Yes, you get better control and visibility but also more friction if your setup isn’t ready. If your organization relies on quick sharing links, this could become a real issue fast. Curious how others are handling this: Are you already using Entra B2B? Seeing any access or adoption issues? How are you balancing security vs usability?Root folder for OneDrive synced SP libraries - custom name?
I am migrating local network shares to SharePoint libraries that are meant to be synchronized to local devices via OneDrive. I will use Intune policy to auto sync set of libraries. When libraries are synced they are saved in the path as below: C:\Users\ExampleUsername\Example Company Limited\Actual Site - Documents In the navigation bar it looks something like this: Is it possible to set a custom name for the Company folder without actually renaming the Entra ID tenant name? I tried the policy that sets a custom OneDrive sync folder by setting the below reg key. This worked for OneDrive sync root folder but the SharePoint sync folder remained unchanged. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive\CustomSyncRootFolderName Background to my question: Portion of data that is to be migrated has long paths. Once synced via OneDrive I will be facing long path errors due to Windows Explorer limitation that can only handle paths under 260 characters long. Based on my testing the files will stil sync and be "browsable" but users won't be able to open them or modify. I want to shorten the SP sync root folder name to reduce the full path to under 260 characters. The below example path is 72 characters long which takes a significant chunk of 260 characters that Windows Explorer can handle. C:\Users\ExampleUsername\Example Company Limited\Actual Site - Documents I am already looking at renaming folders and libraries and flattening the data structure but there is a limit to what I can acheive there due to the client requirements. As such I am trying to trim path lenght whenever I can.
Users not showing in SharePoint Org Explorer Web Part, but do show in Team App
We have several users who are not showing in the SharePoint Org Explorer Web Part, who do show in Team Org Explorer App. They are all users who were migrated into our Office 365 tenant from another Office365 tenant. We have checked the usual things, manager configure etc. and confirmed that there SharePoint profile is identical to working users. If I search for the user in SharePoint and then select organisation and I can see the user and their manager and subordinates. Out IT team, who are very good have not been able to fix this. Anybody seen something similar before? Any help would be much appreciated. Kr and thanks.
