Managing approvals efficiently is one of the biggest challenges for organizations. Whether you’re approving invoices, purchase requests, leave applications, contracts, or company policies, relying on emails and manual follow-ups often leads to delays, confusion, and missed deadlines. https://dellenny.com/how-to-create-an-approval-workflow-in-sharepoint-online-microsoft-365/SharePoint 2013 to 2026: Why Legacy Migrations Are Still the Backbone of IT
Technology moves fast, but enterprise systems rarely do. While organizations eagerly adopt cloud platforms, AI-powered tools, and modern collaboration solutions, many still rely on legacy systems that have quietly supported business operations for years. One of the most common examples is SharePoint 2013. https://dellenny.com/sharepoint-2013-to-2026-why-legacy-migrations-are-still-the-backbone-of-it/
User agent : ODMTADemand-Transform_Zip
Hello guys, I’m investigating a SharePoint/OneDrive alert and noticed the following user agent: """ODMTADemand-Transform_Zip""" I found information about OneDriveMpc-Transform_Zip/1.0 being related to ZIP downloads from SharePoint/OneDrive, but I can’t find anything specific about ODMTADemand-Transform_Zip. Does anyone know what this user agent is used for? Is it a legitimate Microsoft backend process, and is it related to ZIP generation/download operations in SharePoint or OneDrive?How to Identify Obsolete SharePoint Online Sites with PowerShell
Microsoft 365 has been around for many years, and it’s likely that a tenant has some obsolete SharePoint Online sites. The LastModifiedDateTime property is an unreliable basis to make the decision because background processing can update the property. This article explains how to identify obsolete sites based on usage data extracted from the Microsoft Graph. Combining the usage data with basic site properties taken from SharePoint creates a report that should help administrators to figure out what sites they should consider removing. https://office365itpros.com/2026/07/13/find-obsolete-sites/

The latest mobile apps killed mobile first when working with files
Hi, I really enjoyed working only with mobile devices when we started with M365. On iOS the OneDrive app was paramount when organising files in SharePoint/Teams Sites. Easy up- and downloads, drag‘n drop. Move and copy all was there to manage a companies files on mobile devices even when only on mobile network connections. But the upgrades that happened over the last 1-2 years completely break this kind of workflows. There is no really mobile-first paradigm visible anymore. The OneDrive app was worst. All the pretty well integration file management stuff is gone. No drag‘n drop. No useful integration into iOS Files app. Copying between OneDrive and SharePoint got a pain. Bulk operation just silently fail. Files get renamed without any warning (numbers get added to the name or are just increased so no one will ever find the file again). So just two simple usability examples that are a mess: to select multiple files in a folder you have to press the word ‚Select‘ that is not a button or something. This shows up like a column heading in the file view. Right beside ‚Name‘ and ‚Date Modified‘. Why are active user elements placed in table headings? If you browse into some SharePoint folders and quickly want to go back to your OneDrive files you either have to press the back button over and over again until your back to the top level view or you can press-hold the back button and then select ‚Files‘. Butthe latter brings you to the top level Library view and you still have to manually go to ‚Files‘. The old app design just had a top menu bar where views could easily be switched. Am I the only one who wants to work on mobile devices? Does Microsoft still expect everyone to use a laptop and run desktop apps? Annoying.
