New Co-Authoring Feature REMOVES Discard Changes
This post is more of an information for SharePoint users since Microsoft haven't announced the removal of Discard changes for pages / news posts as part of their co-authoring feature. This is a major regression and will cause a lot of pain to most of Microsoft's customers. Microsoft have said that they are replacing Discard changes (as it's no longer required anymore - REALLY) with Undo and version history. The Undo button doesn't discard changes to a page. You can undo your changes, but the page will still be saved as a new version regardless. I've testing in my test tenant where the new co-authoring feature has been rolled out and I can NOT discard changes anymore. Scenario (and an extremely common one) We have flows (reviews, approvals, etc.) that run when a Page (Standard Page or News Article) is published. Now, if I go into a published page to check on some of the page layout and make some temporary changes (VERY frequent that this happens across all of our authors), it will save a version with my changes, and I am now forced to restore the previous version to remove my changes, which will inadvertently move the page back into Draft mode and need to be republished.Republishing it again will kick off another flow, and the page will now be published by the user that temporarily updated the page, and on the current date/time. We absolutely need our pages and news articles tokeep the actual date they were publishedand displaywho originally published them(these are displayed on the page) and not kick off additional review/approval flows. It will also affect our version history which we rely on for auditing purposes. Before, I could go in and help someone with their page and discard my changes, or our authors could just play around with the design of the page and not have any intention of keeping their changes. Now, those users will end up in the version history when they didn't actually have any intent on keeping their temporarily changes. Love to get your thoughts on this regression. Especially since Microsoft seem to think it's not important, and have not posted any communications (general, M365 service announcements, etc.) about the removal of Discard changes.How to create a glossary page in Microsoft Lists [SharePoint]
The new Glossary View in Microsoft Lists comes directly from the community, and Federico Sapia is its author (Thanks for sharing). This view is absolutely easy to implement requires a list with 4 starting columns. In a few clicks you can have a view that allows you to explore and navigate the elements of a list by taking advantage of the letters of the alphabet in the header making it even easier to filter and group. #Teams #SharePoint #Microsoft365 #MPVbuzz #MicrosoftLists #ListsApprobation using Sharepoint workflow
I created a list in Sharepoint for Leave request. From this list, I created a form. I saw that we could create approbation flow. For now, if I click to send the approbation, it is working just fine. But can the approbatioon be send automaticaly when a form is filled out without using Power Automate?
Multiple Column Headers Grouped by Dates
Hi all, I'm looking to create a view in SharePoint Lists which displays metric results as a sort of time series. Each month users with provide the 'Findings', 'Summary', and 'Actions' for each metric. Every attempt of mine to recreate the below image in a SharePoint list view, has failed as I'm unable to group the information by month 'November', 'December', 'January', etc.. Is it possible to have multiple column headers like shown above? And if so, how can it be done?
Export to Excel - No Data
When selecting 'Export to Excel' I don't get any data in my Excel document. At first I received an error when exporting into Excel (Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern). When I added the file path I could then open the Excel sheet. There are headers, however, the data doesn't populate. I have selected 'unhide' and I have also made sure there are no filters. I can confirm there is data there that needs to be exported. Not sure if related, however, it is now exporting as .iqy instead of .xlsx and/or .csv
Organization fonts in Powerpoint for the web failing with sharepoint shell.
Hey all, I've been following the guide set here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/support-for-organization-fonts-in-powerpoint-for-the-web And everything works until the very last step. I run this: Set-SPOCustomFontCatalog -FontFolder "C:\Fonts" -LibraryUrl https://contoso.sharepoint.com/teams/Contosofonts/Fonts but I get the same error every time (Just incase, I changed my actual company name with contoso in the example I share here, in my actual powershell I obviously use the correct name/link.) Any ideas? I can't find anything on google.Contribute without download & Read-Only without download
We have a modern SharePoint Online site collection, of type communication site. And we need to have 2 custom permission levels:- Read-Only without download Contribute without download So i follow those steps:- I copied the Built-in Contribute permission level, then i uncheck those 2 check-boxes:- I copied the Built-in Read permission level, then i uncheck those 2 check-boxes:- Then i created 3 folders, as follow:- Contribute folder >> Assign it the built-in Contribute permission level Contribute without Download >> Assign it the custom permission level Contribute without download Read without Download >> Assign it the custom permission level Read without download I have noted that this work as per my test. For the first folder "Contribute", the user can edit the files using the browser, open them inside app and download them, as follow:- For the second folder "Contribute without download", the user can edit the files using the browser ONLY, can NOT open them inside app and can NOT download them, as follow:- For the third folder "Read without download", same as "Contribute without download" but users can view the file on the browser and can not edit them... so my question, if i am doing things correctly? to have a custom permission level to allow users to contribute to files using the browser-only without the ability to download? and to allow users to view files using the browser-only without the ability to download? Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions. and if there is a more robust approach?Styles Button Disabled for Tables in Enhanced Rich Text Column (SharePoint 2019)
Hi, In a SharePoint 2019 on-premises environment, the issue arises when a column of the type "Multiple lines of text" is created in a list with the setting "Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)." After adding a table to the column field, the "Styles" button under the "Design" tab is found to be disabled. Could this be a bug in SharePoint 2019? Regards, Adam
Can't revoke shared links
Hi, I have shared SharePoint List with external users. I do remember having an option to add or remove people to from this link. I wanted to add new person, so opened "Manage access", but I can see internal users only. If I go to "Link" tab, this is blank, with option to Create new one, but I should see existing links too. Normally when something has not been shared before states: "A sharing link hasn't been created for this file yet. Create a new link to start sharing with others." I do not see this either. I can see external users users have access if I go to SharePoint Classic, and get option to "delete user from site collection", not sure this is the way. Basically, my question is, should I ever lose access to manage shared link? Is it normal for external users to have access to the list that I can not even see without having to go to legacy (classic) mode? Doubt that, hence tagging with security too.
