Looks like we’re seeing the new Share dialog in our Sympraxis Consulting tenant this morning, which is set to Targeted Release. It’s been a long time coming, and we know how much work Stephen Rice and his team at Microsoft have put into it to get it into production.
I had an interesting conversation today about “vibe coding” and whether it’s appropriate to contribute AI-generated code to open-source projects. My immediate reaction was that I think we’re arguing about the wrong thing. I’m not against using AI to write code. In fact, that ship sailed a long time ago for me. AI can be…
I’ve been using PnP.PowerShell for years (once Todd Klindt showed me how awesome it is), and I thought I knew most of the tricks. Then Copilot showed me something so simple that I immediately wondered how I’d missed it all this time. Yes, you’re hearing it from me: Copilot taught an experienced PnP.PowerShell user something…
A few days ago I stumbled across something I hadn’t seen before: a Microsoft Support article titled “Create and manage official Brand kits in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app“, thanks to fellow MVP Natanael Mignon posting about it in a conversation we were having in the MVP channels. I tossed it into our internal The Water Cooler chat…
File this in the category of things I didn’t think would ever work. This was definitely a ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ situation: I tried a bunch of other approaches before I hit on this one. Here’s the scenario: We have multiple sites, where each site represents what we at Sympraxis tend to call…
Last Thursday, July 9, my eagle-eyed colleague Julie Turner alerted me to something that Kasper Larsen talked about on the Copilot, Microsoft 365 & Power Platform call at (15:17). In many recent versions of PnP Modern Search, there was a bug which enabled the default extensibility library for all PnP Search Results Web Parts which…
Pulling data out of tables in Excel is a great capability in Power Automate flows. We often use it to load SharePoint lists as part of ongoing processes (monthly, quarterly, annually, etc.) Many times we build these flows with a small amount of data in Excel, but then over time the data grows, and we hit a threshold. The hard part is often realizing this has happened to you. It happened to me recently, so I figured I’d share how to solve it.
As SharePoint Administrators, we ought to be able to access the Content Type Hub out-of-the-box. But I’ve found in multiple tenants over the years that I can’t. One of the first indications of the problem is when I try to create a new Content Type in the SharePoint Admin Center and get this error. You…
This is a fun challenge. I’ve run into this multiple times and always just thrown up my hands after a while. This time, I decided to dig deeper, and my pal Lauri Ellis at Microsoft dug up a solution for me via the MVP channels. Occasionally, we end up with a Team Site which had an…
This is truly one of the best tricks I’ve learned in all the years I’ve been using SharePoint. When you refresh a page, it can take 8-10 (or more) seconds before the gear (aka cog) is visible. This first animation shows the normal timing. But if you simply click on your name or face, the…
