What Happened To The "Discard Changes" Option When Editing SharePoint Site Pages???
I have access to several tenants - both on Targeted Release for SharePoint online. One tenant shows the discard changes option when editing a SharePoint site page. The other does not...the only options are undo, save/close, and republish. I am global admin on both tenants...what's up with that???How To Reference Files Using Copilot In Word By Copy Pasting The URL
First off, I have no idea why what I'm about to type is not published in the existing Copilot in Word training materials produced by Microsoft. Nevertheless, if you are trying to use the pre-fetched files or trying to type in file names and they aren't showing up....here is how to get around all of that. Also, it does require some pre-work in step number 1 - but this is a one time deal. Search for clipboard settings in your Windows settings Tap the windows button on your keyboard and type clipboard...select "clipboard settings" Turn on "Clipboard History" to "On" if it isn't on already Navigate to the location of the file you want to reference (OneDrive/SharePoint) Open the details pane for the file and scroll down to the bottom to the "Path" section and click the icon. This copies the absolute URL (just the straight up path - no garbage included) to the file Repeat as necessary until you have up to 3 file paths copied Go to your Copilot prompt and type what you want to happen with the files you are about to reference from your clipboard (summarize, rewrite, create new file based on.....) Within that same prompt, hold down the windows button and press "V" This will bring up your clipboard history (if you followed the 1st step above correctly) Now you can paste in the URLs of the files you want to reference You will know the files were found/accepted after you hit the space bar as the URL will resolve into a hyperlink with the title of the file 3 files is currently the max you can reference in one prompt Yes this is a bit manual - however I see no other way to reference a file if it doesn't show up in the prefetch window or when you start typing the name of the file. Update! After you go through the steps above, when you come back later....typing out the file name seems to work. I guess there is some caching going on. Good luck and please let us know if this works for you!Major Bug In Updated Sharing Experience!!!
Is it just my 2 tenants or is there a major bug in the most recently updated sharing experience? Here is my experience on 2 totally separate tenants with the new experience when sharing a link to people with EXISTING access. People with EXISTING access: Simply put, SharePoint now instantly grants access to ANY PERSON you list who is part of your organization regardless of their prior access! Before this update, if you typed in the name of a person who did NOT already have access to the file, you would get a notice in the box that says "This person does not already have access to this file" Now....it just adds them as a contributor to the file...even if they don't have prior access!!! Someone please tell me how this is possible...on 2 different tenants??? Is this happening to your tenant as well? Do they even test these things? Am I just losing my mind? I have no idea anymore. Below is a screen shot of the "Updated" experience. Please let us know if you are experiencing similar behavior so that Microsoft can get on this. Or just let me know that I'm totally cuckoo....I guess that's entirely possible as well.What Happened To Details Pane In SharePoint Lists???
I understand MS is probably pushing to get lists in SharePoint to open inside the Lists app Within the past 2 days, I have seen 2 of my tenants (I'm on targeted release) update to where lists in SharePoint have a similar look/feel to lists in the LISTS app. I have also noticed that the "open in immersive mode" [this option is supposed to remove the SP navigation] arrows pop the SP List into the Microsoft Lists web version (with purple border at the top) After you are in the MS Lists web look and feel, the "open in immersive mode" arrows change to "open in site" I guess all of the above is well and good...however, the thing that is most frustrating is the removal of the details pane! Where did it go? I can't see it anywhere! I use the details pane all the time to help determine who made changes, who deleted things, who added things, etc. It's also the way many users edit list items! Arrrrggghhhh! Has anyone else experienced this?Org Wide Teams Issues
Is anyone else having strange issues creating Org Wide Teams? Here is what's happening in my tenant. We have 2 Org wide Teams I used "New" Teams desktop app to create a new Org Wide team (I'm global admin) The action appears to work However no members are added automatically When go to settings under manage team, there is no padlock When I click in edit, the privacy shows "Private" instead of Org wide If I go to classic teams and go to manage team > settings > edit the privacy shows as org wide but still no members are added automatically Viewing the team in Teams admin ctr shows the privacy of the team as "public" users can search for and join the team (which is not at all what I'm trying to do) Is anyone else getting this erratic behavior for Org Wide Teams?Event List (Calendar) Content Types Other Than Event Content Type Not Showing Up In Events Web Part
So I have a really old calendar that has multiple content types associated with it. There is one custom content type that is the default and ALL item in the calendar are using the custom content type. The original Events content type was never used. What I'm noticing is that any items created using the custom content type are NOT showing up in the modern Events web part. If I go in and add an item based off the original Events content type, then they show up just fine. Does anyone know how to get other content types in an event list to display inside a modern events web part?Microsoft Lists - Can't Save To "My Lists"
So I'm a Global Admin. I have 2 tenants. On one I have an E5 license on the other I have an E3. I don't know if this makes a difference or not but that's the biggest diff I can see between the 2. On the E3 tenant I am able to access the Microsoft Lists app, create a new list from an existing list, and save that new list to "MY LISTS" in the save to drop-down. On the E5 tenant the save to choices DO NOT include "MY LISTS" What am I doing wrong? Why can I create a list from an existing list and choose to save it to "My Lists" on 1 tenant but not the other?New Teams App - Where Are Team Settings???
Apparently next month, MS will start including the New Teams app as part of the M365 apps installation. However, I have noticed that there is no option to adjust settings for individual Teams. What am I missing? Have we just completely lost the ability to adjust any of these settings now? Below is a screenshot from the CURRENT (OLD) Teams app that actually still has the Settings option.(Updated) Microsoft Teams: New Channels Experience MC550081
Someone from Microsoft....please chime in and clear this up for me. Message center message MC550081 references new channel updates coming. Please, Please, let us know if this is being rolled out to the CURRENT - OLD SCHOOL.....SOON TO BE LEGACY (In October) Teams app. Or if this will be for the NEW TEAMS APP (Rolling out in October)? Or is it part of BOTH the Current (Soon to be old) AND the NEW TEAMS APP. I'm asking because the message center makes no mention of the NEW TEAMS APP...yet the screen shot is from THE NEW TEAMS APP Honestly all of the different versions, pre, preview, developer preview, new teams app stuff is getting to be a bit confusingOneDrive Consumer on Company Machines
Hello, Now that Microsoft will start prompting OneDrive for Business users to ask if they want to synch their personal (consumer) OneDrive files to their business machines....I'm wondering if there is any way from an admin ctr/reporting perspective that we can see who has already synched their personal (consumer) OneDrive? Even though MS hasn't pushed the update that will prompt users to sync their consumer OneDrive files, the ability to do so has been available by default. Thanks for any info you might have!
