Re: How to disable the "Email" component of SharePoint Online's News Post function?
avernon2000I haven't found a way. Using the script editor web part you may be able to manipulate the text the button shows but I doubt it would be easy to change its behavior. One option I'm considering is telling users to create pages rather than posts, and then promoting them using the "post as news on site" option which sidesteps the annoying email pop up. The issue is that after training people to create news posts, this will cause confusion and push back.5.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How to disable the "Email" component of SharePoint Online's News Post function?
Whiten100 Msft needs to roll this back. The send email option is still there under "promote" so there's zero need to add another unnecessary step to publishing. No one I know of has asked for this so why has it been added? What's the benefit? Also the "email preview" button is strangely disabled for me-another example of Msft's disregard for ux.7.5KViews1like4CommentsRe: How to disable the "Email" component of SharePoint Online's News Post function?
Another pointless, poorly communicated change ... Msft should concentrate on fixing the many bugs and poor ux of Sharepoint instead of wasting time on cr*p like this that nobody has asked for.8.4KViews1like0CommentsRe: SharePoint Comments in Lists
ganeshsanap There seems to be a bug here though, because if a user is @mentioned on an item in a folder with unique permissions, the original permissions are dislodged. Example: Item is submitted to a list which can initially only be accessed by an admin group The list has a folder with unique permissions which are edit and granted to UserA, and full control granted to admin group Admin moves the item to the folder for UserA and normally this results in the item inheriting the folder permissions so UserA now has edit rights to the item. But if admin @mentions UserB and moves the item to the folder for UserA, the item no longer inherits the folder permissions and item permissions are changed so that now UserB has edit rights and UserA has "none" This can't be the intended result of @mentioning someone.5.6KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Where are files inserted in non group chat stored?
StevenC365 So the documentation is wrong, and remains so a year and a half later. "Files that you upload to a one-on-one or group chat are stored in the Microsoft Teams Chat Files in your OneDrive for Business and are shared only with the people in that conversation. These are available in the Files tab at the top of a chat."629Views0likes0CommentsRe: Image Webpart that is not clickable. How to remove link?
While we grow old waiting for Msft to even acknowledge this is a poor implementation, I suggest you try using the embed web part. Not ideal, but if you add a SP hosted image url in an embed web part, you get the image with no link. You can also add iframe code there if you want to manipulate image dimensions etc. Why Msft thinks thinks it's a good idea for an image to open in a pop up when NO OTHER cms does this, I've no idea.9.4KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Set preference of opening in Office Online or Office App
For copied or shared links, Msft could fix this easily. Since links that start with the http protocol are going to open in your default browser, Msft could simply add an option to choose "open in app" to the various sharing functions, and format links to start with "ms-word:ofe|u|....". So a link would look like "ms-word:ofe|u|https://linkstuffhere". Since Msft is unlikely to fix something users actually ask for, I suppose you could also generate this format yourself with a Flow, or a calculated column, or even rewrite web parts like quick links to do it using the SPFx framework.3.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How do i force my list to open always in modern experience?
3 years later and Msft still hasn't fixed this. Setting tenant to modern and sites to the tenant default still doesn't open some custom lists in modern. The fact that this is unpredictable indicates that this is clearly a botched implementation. The exit classic link references a script trigger (returntomodern) which suggests a cookie is being set - so why is it so hard to fix?3.7KViews0likes0CommentsExclude current page from news feed web part
We use a news feed part on news post pages to show "recent posts" (similar to many blogs). It doesn't make sense to include the current page in that feed so is there a way to exclude it? Able to use PnP modern search too if that's a better option.1.8KViews0likes1Comment
