I have a SharePoint Library where I would like to implement these requirements below and would appreciate your advise: Folders were created at the library level, which looks like the image below. I do not want people to be able to create any folders or upload documents or folders at the library level, but rather only when they open the folders. I have disabled folder creation and created a PowerApps form, so that users can only upload document, edit documents, view details of the documents when they open any of the folders., but I cannot seem to find the Power Apps form when I open any of the folders and try to upload a document or view a document or edit the document details. 2. I have a choice column called Fiscal Year which has options as = FY22, FY 23, FY24, FY25, FY26. By March 2026, I would like to create an automate flow which will auto create FY27 and remove FY22 from the choice, so that the choice column is always limited to only 5 years.169Views0likes3CommentsBulk link updates
First off, apologies if this is in the wrong community. All files are held in the same sharepoint library. So in the library there is an excel file which gets updated a couple of times a year and lets say 20 word fiiles containing roughly 5 links per file referencing 4 ranges in the excel file. These word documents are also updated several times a year. When either the excel documented if updated a new file if generated with a new name which replaces the old one and the old one is archived. The word documents are simply edited and renamed with the old one being archived. I'm looking for a way to update the links in the word documents to pick up the same ranges in the new spreadsheet. As it currently stands I need to manually update each link which is time consuming, prone to error and stupid :-) anyone come across this need and if so how did you solve it? thanks in advanceSolved185Views1like5CommentsCollapsible section icon alignment no longer respected – recent SharePoint change?
Hi all, I’m looking to validate whether others are seeing a recent change to collapsible sections on modern SharePoint pages. Across multiple communication sites in our environment, the expand/collapse icon is no longer rendering inline with the section heading, despite the settings being configured correctly (e.g. alignment set to “Right”). Instead, the icon is now: appearing below the heading defaulting to the left-hand side ignoring the alignment setting in the section properties This change appears to have happened “overnight” and is consistent across all sites we’ve checked, not just a single page or site. Impact We rely heavily on collapsible sections for: knowledge guides FAQ-style content onboarding materials The current behaviour is: increasing vertical spacing unnecessarily reducing scan-ability of pages creating inconsistency between existing and newly rendered content It’s also causing confusion for content authors, as the settings no longer reflect what is displayed. Questions Is anyone else seeing the same behaviour across their tenant? Has this been confirmed as a design change vs a bug? Has anyone found a workaround or mitigation approach? I have already raised this and upvoted it on the Microsoft Feedback Portal and would encourage everyone to do the same if they are experiencing this issue. I'd rather not have to change the design across multiple SharePoint site - an enormous amount of work. Thanks!Solved373Views6likes3CommentsSShSharePoint Metric Reporting Issue
Hllo, Had anyone noticed issues with unique viewers and views for the April site pages? Currently we have a few "news" items that are reflecting higher unique viewers versus views and overall it seems like our metrics are much lower for the month than usual when looking at MoM and YoY.62Views0likes0CommentsSharePoint Video Playback Quality Defaults to 480p – Horrendous
I manage multimedia training for over 600 locations and two distribution centers, supporting nearly 10,000 team members. We have made a significant investment in producing high-quality training content through professional equipment, structured scripting, and dedicated production and editing time. However, once videos are uploaded to SharePoint, the default playback quality often degrades the experience to what appears to be approximately 480p. As a result, professionally produced content can look noticeably poor on initial playback. Many of our store-level team members are not in a position to manually adjust playback settings, so the default experience matters. The source files are high resolution, but the default playback does not reflect that quality. This also creates issues when leadership reviews training content, because the playback quality can reflect poorly on the production even though the original video is clear. We moved away from third-party hosting due to ad exposure during onboarding and the need for a controlled internal platform. We are intentionally using SharePoint and Stream as part of our existing Microsoft 365 ecosystem for scalability, governance, and centralized access. Introducing additional paid hosting platforms or external streaming solutions is not a direction we are pursuing. From an enterprise training standpoint, defaulting to low-resolution playback undermines engagement and credibility. Are there plans to allow administrators to define a default playback resolution for SharePoint or Stream videos? Are there recommended encoding settings that influence the initial playback quality more reliably? Are there roadmap updates around improving adaptive streaming behavior or default resolution selection? Any guidance or insight would be appreciated.252Views0likes1Comment
