Multilangual sites - how to link pages as an language version
Hello everyone, before the introduction of multilingualism in SharePoint we started to build 2 independent site collections to represent two languages. With the multilingualism these are to be integrated now to a common Site. In the page properties I could not yet find a property that links the page of the default language with the respective translation page. Is it also possible to copy existing pages into a page library and then assign them manually as language variants of a site?
SharePoint Online Subsite Feature - Is it going to deprecate
Hi Team, When will MS deprecate subsite feature from SPO? and what will happen to the existing subsites if deprecated? Also, could you please share SPO roadmap for subsite. Note that we are aware of flat structure and its recommendation from MS. Thanks & Regards, Shanthi.People Picker Fields Not Displaying Correctly in Microsoft Edge (SharePoint List)
Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with a SharePoint list containing approximately 300 items. Each item includes 5 People Picker (PP) fields. In Microsoft Edge, some of these People Picker fields do not display their values correctly—this happens regardless of whether I'm viewing the list in list view, item view, or while editing an item. However, the values are stored correctly, and everything displays as expected when using Google Chrome. There is some JSON formatting applied to the list, but the issue persists even in new views without any custom formatting. The behavior is inconsistent: sometimes an entire row of People Picker fields is empty, and other times only one or two fields are missing. This issue affects multiple users. Here are the relevant environment details: OS: Windows 11 Enterprise Version: 23H2 Build: 22631.5335 Experience Pack: 1000.22700.1081.0 Microsoft Edge: Version 137.0.3296.62 (Official Build) Stable + Beta Channel (64-bit) SharePoint Online (E5 License) Has anyone encountered this issue or found a workaround? Thanks in advance! wit4r7
Default - "Open Read Only" for Office Files
Looking for a way to set the default behaviour to "open read only" for office files stored in SharePoint I know that you can set this per document (https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/make-a-document-read-only-in-word-5c25909c-46d9-4eb0-9d1f-d072a560e340) but we want that to be the default behaviour for all documents stored in SharePoint. is this possible ???Save document library as a template option has disappeared
Hi I am the SharePoint administrator, and only a few week ago, I saved a document library as a template (which I have done many times). I went to do this today and the option has disappeared. The custom scripts are enabled, so that is not the issue. Also, in the Site settings under Web Designer Galleries, only two options are now there, where there was a list of options. Has Microsoft made a change recently that would disable these? I have made no changes in our admin centre. I would be very grateful for any advice!SharePoint without Sync (Advice Needed)
Our biggest challenge with SharePoint is how to roll it out to End Users with no SharePoint Experience (many of these users are engineers/site based on slow(ish) internet connections. We have large (+100,000) document libraries with long paths. Sync has been a massive issue, the default behaviour has been to just use File explorer to access files, resulting in sync errors and accidental deletion of files. I am looking for advice on turning OFF sync (in the document library settings) I have concerns about doing this, as there are always times when it is easier to Sync, and this is essentially a global setting (set for all users) Has anyone had any real life use cases/experience of doing this. I cannot think of any alternatives.
Customizing Search Result Display for .eml files at Site Collection level
Hi everyone, I’ve noticed a specific behavior regarding how SharePoint handles search results for .eml files and I am looking for a way to optimize this. Observation: Following a migration of emails into a SharePoint Site Collection, the search results currently display the Filename as the primary heading. Since these filenames are GUIDs, they provide no context to the users. The Title property (which contains the actual email subject) is available but is not being used as the main display value in the search results. Goal: The objective is to change the search result display so that the Title/Subject is shown instead of the Filename, making the results meaningful for the end-users. Current Constraints: Permissions: Access is limited to Site Collection Administrator (no Tenant Admin access). Environment: Must remain Out-Of-The-Box. PnP Modern Search or other third-party web parts cannot be deployed in this environment. Scope: Changes need to be implemented at the Site Collection level, as tenant-wide search schema modifications are currently not an option. Technical Question: Is there a way to influence the result display logic or the mapping of Managed Properties specifically within the Site Search Schema to achieve this? I am looking for guidance on whether this can be solved through site-level configuration or if there are other OOTB workarounds to prioritize the Title property in the search UI. Any insights or documentation on how to approach this at the site level would be greatly appreciated.
