Hi, My Sharepoint sites are appearing in multi languages and it's really annoying. I have changed my account language in to Japanese once and then changed back to English. However, almost sites still appears in Japanese. Could anyone guide me away to change back to English for all.

Hi All, I have marked some documents as favorites (using star) in my SharePoint online. And now I can't find those documents. In the left sidebar when I click on "My list", Favorite is empty. Where and how can I find my documents that I have marked as favorites? Thanks a lot.2.6KViews1like2CommentsSharePoint Classic Templates
Hello community! So we all know that classic sites need to be converted to modern sites, however, if you have a site that was built on a classic template (but has since been converted to a modern site), do you really need to do anything else? I could honestly give less of a crap what happens to classic templates, I just want to make sure that my site which was originally built on a classic template isn't in jeopardy. My knee-jerk reaction is "no" because otherwise there would be thousands upon thousands of sites that likely break. Thoughts, feelings, and opinions appreciated. Thanks!13Views0likes1CommentRestrict shareing files in a document library to members of that document library
Hi, I have a site with multiple document libraries, lets call them Accounts, Managers and General. Each document library has removed inheritance and the Members and Visitors groups removed and a security group added with edit permission. e.g. SP_Managers group Is there a way for me to be able to restrict sharing links to files to only users that already have access to the document library? i.e. someone in the Managers library can only share a link with others with access to that document library. In my current case, if someone in the managers library (who is a member of the SP_Managers security group to get access) shares a file with a general user (not in the security group), that general user can not only access the shared document but, can now see the Managers Document library listed in SharePoint (Not any content) which I don't want to happen. Another option may be to make it so the top level folder isn't visible to non members even if a file is shared (I don't know if that is possible either) but the restricting of sharing would be a better soloution. Thanks for any advice Ian20Views0likes2CommentsJSON for list form body
JSON for list form body. Hello all, I am looking to conigure tge layout of the list form into sections, nothing fancy, just section heading with nominated fields. However i would like to also specify fields per row, and if there is a single field on a row iy measures the full width etc. Here is a sample of JSON i am using. Could someone please advise on inclusions to achieve tge above? "sections": [ { "displayname": "", "fields": [ "Title", "Hyperlink" ] }, { "displayname": "", "fields": [ "Title", "Hyperlink" ] }, { "displayname": "Primary Category", "fields": [ "Primary Technical Function" ] }, { "displayname": "Related Categories", "fields": [ "Related Technical Functions", "Related Supporting Functions" ] } ] }25Views0likes2CommentsHeading styles appearing differently on SharePoint Online
I’ve noticed that the heading styles are now appearing differently on SharePoint – has anyone else noticed this? Heading 2 now looks like heading 3, heading 3 now looks like heading 4, and heading 4 looks really small. I assume it's something that been rolled out recently (this week?). I have only checked in Edge as I don't have Chrome set up on my work computer, but I wondered if anyone else has noticed this? Has there been an update to heading styles across SharePoint Online? (And if there's a better place to ask this question, please let me know. This is the first time I've posted on this forum.)4KViews2likes12CommentsMissing sites under Destinations when I try to move or copy files in modern library
When I try to move a file or folder, the destination dialogue box lists only a subset of sites I have access to under two headings: Following and Recent. How can I choose a site that is in neither of these categories?Solved92KViews5likes80CommentsCalculate difference of days
I have two columns in a SP list. One is called 'Date Started' and the other one is called 'Date Ended'. I would like to calculate the difference in days. The problem I am facing is that the 'Date Ended' column has a timestamp whilst the other column does not. I only want to know the amount of days passed and dont need anything with the timestamp really.2.8KViews0likes5CommentsValidation rule for postal code is being ignored
In the SharePoint list, there is a column “Country” and a column “Postal Code.” A validation rule has been configured in the list validation settings to ensure that when the country “Germany” is selected, only postal codes with exactly 5 digits can be saved. Currently, this validation rule is being completely ignored. Regardless of whether the postal code contains fewer, more, or no digits at all, the entry can always be saved. The validation does not take effect. Expected Behavior: When Germany is selected in the Country field, the entry should only be saved if the postal code contains exactly 5 numeric characters. If the input is invalid, an appropriate error message should appear and prevent saving. Actual Behavior: The validation rule is ignored. All inputs — including invalid postal codes — are saved. No error message is displayed. Impact: Incorrect or incomplete data is stored in the list. Manual corrections are required afterward, causing additional effort and increasing the risk of errors. The english version of formule we used =IF([Land]="Deutschland", IF(LEN([Postleitzahl])=5, 1, 0)) Why doesn't the validation work? Thank you in advance for your comments !72Views0likes2CommentsDocument libraries - Force users to upload content via the new Forms method only
Hi, Recently a new form input system that uses Forms has been deployed for Sharepoint document libraries. This works well, however I was expecting to also have the possibility to disable the standard "upload" button and completely substitute it with the new Form function. This is because I have created a flow that expects some metadata along with the file, to be filled by the user at the time of insertion of the element, and this is not possible to do with the old upload method as a one-shot action. I can circumvent the problem by adding additional checks in my flow, however I think this is suboptimal, as this means it needs to run twice in the best case scenario (first for the upload, then for the metadata update). Is it something I can expect to be implement at some time in the near future?Solved74Views0likes3Comments
