Backout Plan for EWS to MS Graph API upgrade for SharePoint|sapiens
Microsoft has announced the retirement of Exchange Web Services (EWS) in Exchange Online, effective October 1, 2026. After this date, EWS-based integrations will no longer be supported. To ensure uninterrupted email functionality, all affected SharePoint|sapiens solutions must be upgraded to use the Microsoft Graph API. My question is this - if we upgrade to Graph and our SharePoint|sapiens solution goes sideways somehow, is backout / rollback to EWS an option? I realize we could only roll back until 10/1 since that's the EWS retirement date, but our leadership may request that we make our solution functional temporarily (if the upgrade causes a problem) by rolling back.SharePoint Showcase: 5 Ways Organizations Improve Business Processes with Copilot in SharePoint
AI becomes most impactful when it helps with the work teams already do every day. The challenge is rarely a lack of information. It is turning trusted information into a clear, repeatable process without starting from scratch each time. That is where Copilot in SharePoint can help. It works with the content and structure already in SharePoint, including sites, pages, lists, libraries, and files. Teams can ask questions, compare and summarize content, organize information, create outputs, and turn repeatable multi-step processes into reusable skills. The examples below are based on real customer scenarios from organizations exploring Copilot in SharePoint. To protect customer confidentiality, organization names and identifying details have been generalized. What matters is the pattern: start with trusted SharePoint content, define the work that needs to happen, keep people in control, and make the process easier to repeat.AutoSave disabled when opening SharePoint-synced files from Finder after macOS Tahoe 26.6 update
Files stored in SharePoint Online and synchronized locally through OneDrive are opened as local documents when launched from Finder. Office applications display "Saved to my Mac" and AutoSave is turned off by default. However, opening the exact same files through Word/Excel > Open > Sites, or via SharePoint "Open in Desktop App", correctly identifies them as cloud documents. In that scenario, AutoSave is enabled and collaboration/version history features work as expected. Troubleshooting already performed: OneDrive reset and re-linked SharePoint library re-synced Signed out and back into both Office and OneDrive Removed Microsoft credentials from macOS Keychain and re-authenticated Recreated local OneDrive sync relationships Verified OneDrive File Provider extensions are enabled Verified Office applications and OneDrive are fully up to date Tested with newly created files and existing files Tested "Always Keep on This Device" with no change in behavior The issue appears to be specific to the Finder-to-Office launch path after upgrading to macOS Tahoe 26.6. Before upgrading to macOS Tahoe 26.6, opening the same SharePoint-synchronized files directly from Finder correctly preserved cloud document identity and AutoSave was enabled as expected. I discussed this issue in detail with Apple Support, but they quickly dismissed it, saying that the problem is not on Apple's side and that I should contact Microsoft instead.The Case of the Massive Loop Container
Why would a seemingly simple Loop workspace develop into a monster SharePoint Embedded container? That’s the question to answer when a Loop container grew to fill nearly 88 GB of SharePoint Embedded storage. The workspace had been through many hundreds of edits, but that’s an unlikely reason to spread and occupy so much storage. Loop and SharePoint Embedded are black boxes when it comes to administration, so we must wait for Microsoft to explain. https://office365itpros.com/2026/08/27/loop-workspace-big-container/SharePoint Showcase: 10 Custom AI Skills Every SharePoint Site Owner Should Build

SharePoint has become an important part of how modern organizations store documents, share information, collaborate on projects, and manage business processes. But as more sensitive information moves into SharePoint, security needs to become a priority rather than an afterthought. Link to the postCopilot, Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community call

SharePoint makes it easy for teams to store, share, and work on files from almost anywhere. But when you click on a document and it refuses to open, that convenience can quickly turn into frustration. You may see a blank page, an error message, an endless loading screen, or nothing at all. Sometimes the problem affects only one file, while in other cases, an entire SharePoint library seems to stop working. Link to the post
