Managing a global navigation between multiple site collections don’t need to be a painful and tedious task.
With the use of Manage Metadata you can easily build your navigation structure and update it globally to all site collections at once, the steps described below work for SharePoint Online and SharePoint On-Premises.
Integrations are one of my favorite things on technology and today I’ll write about it again!
How to add Google Analytics to SharePoint without modifying the master page is on of the most read articles in this blog; Recently I was asked about sending user profile information from SharePoint to Google Analytics to build better reports and to understand who is using the portals.

Publishing sites are great to build modern and responsive intranets due to the possibility of using custom page layouts and custom master pages.
This article provides you instructions to enable collaboration features that are not available by default within publishing sites but are still useful for intranet projects.
This article provides the answer to two common question that I often receive:
With SharePoint Online modern sites the branding options that used to available with Classic sites were removed, however Microsoft introduced new alternatives to apply you company brand to SharePoint.
The new theming experience allow site owners to apply themes to all modern pages in the site collection, to deliver new engaging and familiar looks.
By default, there are 8 themes available but you as an Administrator can create and deploy your owns, in this article you will find instructions on how to achieve it.
SPFx extensions are used to customize the modern SharePoint user experience, built using script frameworks they can be built using any operating system.
Currently there is no graphical interface to manage the extensions and all the operations need to be done from the command line using PowerShell.
Well it use to be like that but not anymore, with the Office 365 CLI you no longer need to use PowerShell and Windows to manage the extensions if you are a macOS or Linux user you can do it directly from your native operating system.
The PnP provisioning engine is a framework that allows you to create templates based on pre-built SharePoint sites. The framework was not built to be a migration tool and when a template is generated it only saves the home page, although the schema supports multiple pages.
In this article you can find a PowerShell script that saves a modern SharePoint site as a template with all the included pages.
Page layouts are essential on SharePoint publishing sites, they enable the creation of content with specific editable fields.
There are predefined content areas that can be reused however sometimes they are not enough to build the perfect layout.
In this article I’ll explain you how to create a basic custom page layout with multiple Page Content areas also known as Rich HTML Field.
SharePoint refiner web part has a great hidden feature that shows the count of search refiners, despite being included in the web part there is no graphical user interface to turn it on.
To get the refiners count you will need to manually modify the display template file used by the web part, following the instructions below.
Managed metadata allows the creation of central managed term sets that can be used as attributes in SharePoint sites, term sets can be created globally and shared across site collections or can be created locally to the site collection.
The PnP PowerShell includes commands to export and import terms groups but unfortunately the site collection term group is not exported automatically, this article provides a workaround to get all the site collection term sets into an xml ready to import into other site collections.
Knowing the SharePoint environment and if the page is edit mode will allow you to provide tailored web parts to enhance the user experience of your SharePoint solutions.
The code provided in this article gives you the ability to detect if your SPFx web part is running in the modern or classic SharePoint environment and if the page is in edit mode.
