Microsoft Syntex: Turning Your Documents Into Digital Intelligence
In today’s workplaces, organizations generate an overwhelming amount of content—contracts, invoices, reports, emails, and more. Manually managing, classifying, and extracting insights from this information is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. Microsoft Syntex, an AI-powered service within Microsoft 365, transforms the way businesses handle content. By automatically classifying files, extracting metadata, applying compliance policies, and even generating new documents from templates, Syntex brings automation and intelligence directly into familiar tools like SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams. This blog explores how Microsoft Syntex helps organizations boost productivity, reduce operational costs, and unlock the true value of their content.
SharePoint Threshold Limit Mitigation via Indexing Strategy
To address the SharePoint list/library threshold limit issue, we implemented a structured indexing approach: The document library contains 5000 items distributed across multiple libraries. We created indexes on relevant columns to optimize query performance and enable filtering/sorting without triggering the threshold limit. This indexing strategy allowed us to successfully access and manage the SharePoint site without performance degradation or errors due to the threshold limit. This approach ensures scalability and maintains usability for end users, especially when working with large datasets in SharePoint Online. Anyone has face the similar kind of situation and tried in a different way to fix that, then please share.
problems with sharepoint subscription edition post updates. psconfig fails.
We are facing 2 issues, but i suspect its related. OS is server 2025. Patches are current. We applied the sharepoint upgrade: KB5002784 yesterday. At that time we discovered psconfig failed to complete. Initially it was due to a problem with the sharepoint admin service. Of note it would not start. I found this to be a problem with windows exploit protection. Exempting the exe associated with the admin service fixed this and the service now starts. PSconfig still fails, its failing at the spcopysidebyside step. of note the sidebyside log that the error references is never created. additionally running the spcopysidebyside powershell script, and specifiying a log file location also results in no log being created. i suspect this may be another windows exploit protection exemption that needs to be created. at this time im not sure what one is required, nor how this is not effecting all installs vs just ours.Modernizing Legacy Intranets with SharePoint Online

Hello, I'm using SharePoint 2019 Server On-Premise. Task 1: Create a template of an existing document library. Task 2: Apply the newly created template to a new document library. Task 1 was successful but I'm failing to succeed with Task 2. I simply do not find the option to use an existing template. For clarification, I do not want to use a document template but a template for the document library, so the columns are copied to the new document library including the column formatting. I would appreciate pointers. Thank you and all the best, VarDumpedQuick Links “Button” layout drawers stuck open on modern SharePoint page
We’re using the Quick Links web part in Button layout on a modern SharePoint Online page. Normally, the label “drawer” only appears when you hover over the button. Recently, the drawers under all buttons are stuck permanently open (see red lines below marking the title drawers that I want to disappear). We must use the Button layout for our design standards, so switching to another layout is not an option Our IT team says there’s no HTML/CSS toggle to control this, and publishing an older page version would undo recent changes without guaranteeing a fix Rebuilding the web part isn’t realistic since we don’t have all the original links and images. This has happened before, but usually it “clears up” after some time — this time it’s persistent. Has anyone else run into this? Is this a known regression with Button layout, and is there a fix? Any guidance would be appreciated.
