MGDC for SharePoint FAQ: How to Run a PoC without Pulling Your Entire Tenant
Overview When getting started with SharePoint data in Microsoft Graph Data Connect (MGDC) for SharePoint, many teams want to validate scenarios - such as reporting or analytics before committing to a full production deployment. A common first instinct is to pull a complete dataset from a production tenant. While this delivers the most comprehensive view of SharePoint usage, it also: Requires broad administrative authorization Consumes the most Azure compute and storage resources Increases MGDC extraction and processing costs Adds complexity to early experimentation Fortunately, MGDC for SharePoint provides multiple ways to run low‑cost experiments or proof‑of‑concept (POC) deployments using partial or scoped datasets. This guide presents these options using a uniform comparison model, helping you choose the right approach based on: Cost Representativeness of production behavior Implementation effort Dataset completeness Supported datasets Option 1: Use a Dev or Test Tenant Description Use an existing development or test tenant (or create a new trial tenant) to enable MGDC and run initial experiments. Pros Smaller datasets reduce MGDC and Azure costs Easier to obtain administrative permissions Lower operational impact Cons May not reflect production‑scale usage patterns Some SharePoint features or integrations may be missing Requires simulated user activity to generate meaningful data Trial tenants are time‑limited Learn More Microsoft 365 Trial Options Azure Trial Options Option 2: Start with the SharePoint Sites Dataset Description The Sites dataset is typically the smallest MGDC dataset for SharePoint and provides tenant‑wide metadata for all site collections. Pros Lower cost compared to Files or Permissions datasets Provides organization‑wide coverage Minimal MGDC configuration beyond standard onboarding Small dataset can be handled directly by a variety of analysis tools Cons Does not include permission or file details Limited insight compared to full datasets Learn More How can I estimate my Azure bill? Updated! Gather a detailed dataset on SharePoint Sites Option 3: Sample a Limited Number of Rows Description Some MGDC SharePoint datasets support returning only a subset of rows in query results. This is supported across the top 5 SharePoint datasets in MGDC (Sites, Permissions, Groups, Files and File Actions). Pros Minimal and predictable extraction cost Enables rapid schema inspection Provides total dataset row count in request metadata Cons Rows are not returned in a predictable order Sample is not randomized. It is not reproducible and could be biased Results should not be used to draw tenant‑level conclusions Learn More How can I sample or estimate the number of objects in a dataset? Option 4: Filter by SiteId Description Because SharePoint data is partitioned by site collection, MGDC filtering allows you to extract data from a single site or a small group of representative sites. This supports Sites, Permissions, Groups, Files and File Actions datasets. Pros Enables realistic workload simulation Reduces total extraction volume Simplifies downstream reporting Cons May introduce sampling bias Not suitable for tenant‑wide reporting Learn More How can I filter rows on a dataset? Option 5: Filter by TemplateId Description Instead of selecting individual sites, filter by site template to isolate specific workloads. For example, you could filter for OneDrives or SharePoint Embedded. Pros Consistent dataset scope Useful for workload‑specific analysis Cons Limited dataset support (supported only for Sites, Files and File Actions) May not reflect cross‑workload usage patterns Learn More How can I filter rows on a dataset? Option 6: Use Delta State Datasets Description Delta datasets allow you to retrieve only changes since your last data transfer for supported SharePoint State datasets. Pros Enables recurring analytics with lower extraction costs Supports daily or weekly trend analysis Reduces data movement after initial ingestion Cons Requires an initial full dataset pull Adds complexity to downstream merge processing Learn More How can I use Delta State Datasets? How do I process Deltas? Summary MGDC for SharePoint provides multiple approaches to extract targeted subsets of tenant data, allowing teams to: Run proof‑of‑concept deployments Validate analytics pipelines Test governance or migration scenarios Estimate ongoing MGDC and Azure costs By selecting the right combination of dataset scope, filtering strategy, sampling method or delta tracking, you can balance cost, representativeness, and implementation effort before scaling to a full production deployment.

Site header: overflows to navigation bar
We use SharePoint for our intranet, and with a rebrand coming, we're building new headers for each of the sites that make up the intranet. Since we first built our sites, the site header behaviour seems to have changed: it overflows vertically into the navigation bar, rather than constraining it to the height of the actual header (above the nav). Not ideal, but I'd adjusted where the business logo sits in the height to work well. However, when you scroll down and the header compresses, this chops the top half of the logo off. Anyone have any similar experience/solutions? I don't want to deploy a CSS code, as that's likely to break later. Alternatively, if the lovely people at Microsoft could put it back to constrain it within the banner height, that'd be great. It's easier to create a super wide image (to avoid gaps) than it is to juggle the variables when height overflows differently on different screens. Thanks in advance!
Anyone having issues moving SharePoint web parts today?
I have received several reports this morning regarding issues with moving web parts in both communication sites and Teams sites. I was able to reproduce, but am unsure if this is an internal issue or some larger issue. When trying to move web parts instead of moving between sections or around the flexible section it simply highlights all text boxes in the vicinity. This also occurs when attempting to move web parts using the "move section" button in the properties bar. Anyone else experiencing this issue this morning?
Webpart "See All" ASPX link Not displaying List of News for Read-Only Users
We have an extremely simple Sharepoint site in M365 Sharepoint that we created a very simple News webpart, list form, 1 item, from news posted to this site only. The idea being people come and see the most recent news post, they click "See All" to view more if they desire. Visitors can see this link and go and view the article, along with any other news article posted to this site if they have the direct link, but only people with Edit or higher access are able to click the "See All" link and get a list of more news articles. People with regular Visitor/Read access see the title of the list but the page is otherwise empty like it's failing to return query results. We've chopped up the URL since it's aspx and have at least figured out the point of failure is in the : &serverRelativeUrl part of the link. If they chop off link before that variable, they can get an (albeit unformatted) list of the news articles. I am absolutely not a Sharepoint guru. We've inspected the permissions on the Site Library, we've reindexed the site, we've even experimented with different usergroups, nothing seems to change this behavior. Can anyone explain what's happening here and how to fix it or is this just busted behavior in Sharepoint Webpart command link?Automating SharePoint Site Status Reporting with PowerShell
Introduction Migrating Microsoft 365 workloads is a critical step during organizational transitions such as mergers or de‑mergers. SharePoint site collections often contain business‑critical data, and ensuring visibility into their readiness is essential for a smooth migration. To address this, I developed a PowerShell script that automatically generates a SharePoint Site Status Report, categorizing sites into Active, Read‑Only, and Offline. This report provides administrators and migration engineers with actionable insights to plan and execute migrations confidently. Why This Matters Visibility: Quickly assess site readiness across all web applications. Governance: Ensure compliance and proper access controls. Efficiency: Automate reporting to reduce manual effort. Risk Mitigation: Identify offline or read‑only sites before migration. How It Works The script leverages the SharePoint Management Shell and runs under the Farm Account with elevated permissions. It performs the following steps: Loads SharePoint cmdlets. Iterates through all web applications. Categorizes sites into Active, Read‑Only, and Offline. Compiles results into a structured CSV/Excel/HTML report. Sends the report via email to stakeholders. Key PowerShell Cmdlets Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell Get-SPWebApplication Get-SPSite -WebApplication -Limit All $site.ReadOnly / $site.Status Export-Csv Send-MailMessage Parameters to Replace Before running the script, update these placeholders: SMTP Server → mail.company.com → replace with your mail server Sender Address ($from) → email address removed for privacy reasons → replace with reporting account Recipient Address ($to) → email address removed for privacy reasons → replace with stakeholder distribution list Email Subject ($subject) → "SharePoint Site Status Report" → customize for clarity Report File Path ($csvPath) → C:\Reports\SharePoint_SiteStatusReport.csv → replace with desired location Web Application URLs → ensure correct farm references Execution Context → must run under Farm Account Conclusion This automated reporting solution provides clarity, governance, and efficiency during SharePoint migrations. By categorizing sites and delivering structured reports, administrators can prioritize tasks, mitigate risks, and ensure a seamless transition to Microsoft 365.

How to hide the Modify this view and Create View as per users available in groups
Hi All, I have classic view of SharePoint in list/libraries. I have group(for Managers). I just want want to show and hide the Create View/Modify View/Modify this view depends on users available in group. If user available in group(for Managers) then they can do anything like Create View/Modify View/Modify this view but if user is not a part of the group(for Managers) then they can not modify any Public views but the can create Personal view. Is there any way how I can achieve this functionality?Intermittent failures when creating new libraries in modern SharePoint
Hi everyone, I’m seeing an issue in our modern SharePoint Online site collection where creating new document libraries has started failing. This site has worked normally for years, but over the past week, most library creation attempts haven't worked. 1) The page briefly flashes or glitches during the creation process. and 2) A non‑ending spinning wheel when I hit "create" or 3) Creation attempts return “Something's not right.” error page. The failures happen across all subsites, in multiple browsers, and I’m a Site Collection Administrator. No permission changes were made recently. Has anyone seen similar intermittent library creation failures in a modern site collection, or know what might cause this kind of inconsistent behavior? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks! MeaganClassic SharePoint features appearing on a Modern Site
I have a modern SharePoint site, with a modern list that has never been associated with classic SharePoint features. But today, two users have experienced intermittent instances of the list appearing in the classic interface. They have not accessed this site before now so I do not believe there should be a cache issue. Does anyone know why this is happening and how it's possible when this site has no association with Classic features? They are using the same browser, same permissions across the site but sometimes the list opens in Classic mode, sometimes it opens in Modern. It also is happening in incognito mode. They are unable to use the site while in Classic Interface at all - the people pickers deny them access ("Error: Sorry, you do not have permission to query for users" and they cannot edit anything because of this error.
In a PnP search how long does the crawl take
In an Education tenant using SharePoint online if you add a new mapping into the PnP search because the crawled property was unpopulated how long do you have to wait before it is fully populated? Copilot chat suggested 30 minutes to 48 hours. At 48 hours and it managed to find about 45 items. I was anticipating about 900 items. 10 hours later it is still showing 45 items. How do I know if it finished the crawl or just abandoned it, whether it is actually still going or it can genuinely only find 45 items. Thank you.
