Working in a client tenant today, I noticed a new suggestion in the SharePoint Admin Center I hadn’t seen before. It’s certainly possible it’s been around for a while, but it was new to me. The tenant where I’m working has been around since at least 2015. That means it was created with a classic…
Another day, another weird SharePoint problem. We’re working on a client Intranet, and just launched it yesterday. Everything works great and the client is happy. But, as is often the case, we needed to make a few tweaks to the Site Nav based on user feedback. (An Intranet is never done, folks.) If you look…
This is something which has come up in several contexts in the last few months, so I figured I’d put virtual pen to virtual paper and record it for future me and all of you. If you’ve ever tried to embed content from an external source in a SharePoint page using the Embed Web Part,…
This is something that’s happened to me in multiple tenants recently. When I delete a News Post which I’ve created in a Hub Site, the post never goes away in the News Web Part. It always seems to be a post we’ve created as some sort of point-proving demo, too. You know, with a title…
At Sympraxis, we often work with clients who have been using SharePoint for a long time. In many of these cases, they have been using SharePoint basically as a cloud-based file server. At some point in the past, they have done a lift and shift from “on premises” servers (wherever they may live) into SharePoint…
Last week, we had a client wondering why they saw this in the Search & Intelligence Admin Center. Not only was Top queries showing “No data”, but there was “No data” for No results queries and Abandoned queries, too. This was the case even when we changed the filter from the last 31 days to…
In modern SharePoint, we have content management tools which have been honed over decades of SharePoint use. At the same time, our ideas about content management have evolved over that time. People are far more comfortable maintaining content on the Web than they were when SharePoint first was released. Back then, we were often transitioning…
I shot myself in the foot today and I figured I’d share how I bandaged it back up. In actual fact, the healing was automagical. We had a Microsoft Team with its usual backing SharePoint site, and we wanted to reclaim the URL from that SharePoint site. This isn’t an unusual occurrence when there isn’t…
When you create a Team Site in SharePoint, you have an option to set the Team Site as: Public – anyone in the organization can access this site, or Private – only members can access this site Many people don’t know what the effect this setting has – I need to remind myself from time…
One of the cool things you can do from a canvas Power App is call a Power Automate flow. This is a great way to do something simple – like sending an email – or many more complex things you might want to trigger from the Power App. Many have written about how to implement…
