File Type Version Limits
Hi all, In trying to solve an old issue I stumbled across this new feature currently in preview and am wondering if the file type arrays will be editable or if new arrays could be or will be added? I have a handful of file types which do not need 100 versions, let alone a version every 2-5 minutes, requiring frequent culling...

Classic 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.SharePoint Template Gallery
Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue with the new SharePoint site page template gallery. Some of my templates are showing up consistently, while others appear intermittently — even though all the metadata is identical across them. I've been troubleshooting but can't pinpoint what's causing the inconsistency. For context: I have over 100 templates in the gallery. A template I just created is displaying fine, but one I made last week isn't showing up at all, so I don't think it's a template count issue. Any insights would be really appreciated!
Active Site Usage Not Matching Storage Used?
At my new position our SharePoint storage is getting used quickly. As of right now we have 69GB available of 11.75TB. When look at the active sites the total Storage Used only adds up to 2TB. Where is the other 8.75TB coming from? Version history was changed to 100 major versions and to delete versions after 1 year. Is it possible that the versions still being retained could add up to 8.75TB? I archived a site that was 13GB but it's still showing 69GB available. How long does it take to reclaim that storage?
PnP Search Results Handlebars template saves but does not reflect on UI
Hi everyone, I am working with the PnP Search Results web part in SharePoint Online and facing an issue where a custom Handlebars result template saves successfully but does not reflect on the UI. I created a table-style Handlebars template with columns Document, Region, Country, Language, Status and Validation Date, one row per document. Documents are returned correctly and filters based on the same refinable properties work as expected. Debug output using JSONstringify(item) confirms that all refinable values are present. The same if-condition logic using item.RefinableStringXX works in a list-style layout, but in a table layout the template saves without errors and either does not reflect on the UI or renders rows with empty metadata columns. Inline bindings do not render unless wrapped in if blocks and even after fixing this the UI sometimes continues to show the previous layout. Managed property mappings, selected properties, indexing and library reindexing have already been verified. Has anyone experienced this behavior with PnP Search Results templates or knows if this is related to caching, result types overriding templates or a known limitation with table-style Handlebars layouts?
How to extract full SharePoint Site Usage Analytics via API (avg time, device, heatmap)?
Hello everyone, I'm trying to automate the extraction of SharePoint Site Usage Analytics reports, but I'm running into a limitation where the data exposed by Microsoft Graph API does not match the analytics available in the SharePoint UI or the exported Excel report. In the SharePoint site analytics page, I can see metrics such as: Unique viewers Site visits Average time spent per user Usage by device Usage by time (heatmap) Trend charts for the selected period (7 / 30 / 90 days) There is also a Download button that exports an Excel file containing all these analytics. However, when I query Microsoft Graph using the SharePoint usage reports endpoints (for example: getSharePointSiteUsageDetail), the API only returns a subset of the data: { "lastActivityDate": "2026-01-20", "uniqueViewers": "28", "siteVisits": "615", "avgTimeSpentPerUser": null, "byDevice": null, "byTimeHeatmap": null, "fileCount": "759", "activeFileCount": "45", "pageViewCount": "615", "visitedPageCount": "28", "reportRefreshDate": "2026-01-20", "reportPeriodDays": "7" } As you can see: Fields like avgTimeSpentPerUser, byDevice, and byTimeHeatmap are always returned as null. The numeric values (unique viewers, visits, etc.) are also different from what the SharePoint UI shows for the same time range. The Graph data appears to be delayed and aggregated differently compared to the UI. From what I can tell: These metrics seem to exist internally (since the UI and Excel export clearly show them). But they are not exposed through any documented Graph API endpoint. The Excel download does not appear to have a stable or supported API endpoint that can be called programmatically. My questions Is there any supported way to programmatically retrieve the full SharePoint analytics dataset (including avg time, device breakdown and time heatmap)? Is the Excel export endpoint accessible via any supported API? Are these fields intentionally not exposed in Microsoft Graph? If this is not possible today, what is the recommended approach for automating this type of analytics collection? Any clarification or official guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!Change in SharePoint File Selection Behaviour
Has anyone noticed this in the last week/s? Basically before, you used to be able to SELECT files without opening them. Now, 5-6 times out of ten, if I try to select a document or folder it opens instead. Like, even when i am clearly clicking the checkmark to the left of the file/folder, it will STILL OPEN in the browser, rather than just selecting. It's like the file open behaviour has gotten more sensitive or something? It's really frustrating because my users need to add metadata to documents by selecting them, and now they have to fight with SharePoint nearly every time.
Issue: Date picker / calendar icon disappeared from Page Details pane
Hi everyone, I am reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing a recent issue with the Date field in SharePoint Online. Since yesterday (January 15th), the calendar icon / date picker has disappeared from the Page Details pane when editing properties for News pages. Here are the details of the issue: The Problem: When clicking on a Date column in the Page Details pane, the calendar selector no longer pops up. Manual Entry: It is still possible to type the date manually, but the visual interface is gone. Comparison: Interestingly, the date picker works perfectly fine when using "Edit in grid view" in the Site Pages library. The issue seems specific to the side property pane (Details pane). Browsers tested: I have reproduced the issue on both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome (latest versions), even after clearing the cache. Is this a known bug following a recent update, or is there a new UI setting I might have missed? Has anyone seen a similar report in the M365 Service Health dashboard? Thanks in advance for your help!
