Microsoft modernized Document Sets a few years ago – sort of. They really didn’t finish the job, and they seem to be under the impression that few people use Document Sets. Everyone I know who understands good Information Architecture (IA) knows about Document Sets, and they use them when they make sense – which can…
Sharing content in SharePoint using links is a great capability. Microsoft has worked over the years to make the process simple to use, and we even see the same sharing dialog in SharePoint and on our PCs when we share using Windows Explorer. As tenant owners, we can set the default type of sharing link…
Today I needed to create an array of all the dates in a data range in PowerShell. It’s a simple little thing. Maybe I should have asked Github Copilot, but I’m old skool, so I wrote it myself. (I also haven’t gotten used to having a virtual assistant!) The reason I even needed to do…
Another day, another opportunity to spackle the walls of SharePoint where there’s a hole. Wouldn’t it be great if you could go somewhere in the SharePoint Admin Center to see all the places you’ve used a particular Web Part in pages? Well, you can’t, so PowerShell.

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…
