For many months now, I’ve been getting our favorite kind of error – a sporadic one – when I am running PnP PowerShell which loops through the same code many times. The errors look something like this: format-default : The collection has not been initialized. It has not been requested or the request has not…
I am a huge fan of the Modern Search Web Parts. They are a perfect bridge from classic search to where we all hope Microsoft Search is heading. The team working on these Web Parts is a first class bunch, and they are doing fantastic work. Franck Cornu – @FranckCornu Tarald Gåsbakk – @taraldgasbakk Yannick Reekmans – @yannickreekmans…
Site Designs are a relatively new capability in SharePoint Online. While they were introduced in 2018, there hasn’t been much change to them since. This is disappointing to me, as I believe they have tremendous potential. One possible use is to manage the life cycle of a unit of work. In this post, I’ll talk…
I saw this trick during a recent webinar or session, but I can’t remember who showed it. I think it’s useful enough to share. If it’s your trick, please let me know and I’ll give you credit!

Things we used to think of as miracles happen almost every week in Office 365. The latest thing that impressed me is the ability to swap an existing site into the root site of your tenant using the Invoke-SPOSiteSwap PowerShell cmdlet. The Sympraxis tenant has been around since practically the old BPOS days, so the…
This is more a Todd Klindt (@ToddKlindt) post than a me post, but hey – he was on vacation. I was trying to run some PowerShell on my new-ish tenant and was getting an error Todd and I had worked past before. Just a simple: …was giving me an error like this: Connect-PnPOnline : For…
Lots of my clients want a quick and easy way to search for people in SharePoint. Unfortunately, it isn’t as simple as it should be. On any given site, when you use the Search Box in the top right, you land on a search results page which doesn’t even have a People tab. Worse, you…
With all of the changes happening in Office 365, it can be difficult to know how a particular thing works at any given point in time. I find myself doing little experiments all the time so I’m sure the information I give my clients is true – at least when I tell them! I figure…
