May brought some solid updates that actually make sense. The big news? 50 new page templates are rolling out soon, and they look way more practical than what we’ve had before.

There’s also a new FAQs web part powered by Copilot that might finally solve those repetitive support questions we all deal with. Plus OneDrive is getting some practical tools – think converting files to PDF and adding watermarks without jumping through hoops.

I needed the list visible on the page but hidden from Site Contents. The usual approach would be PowerShell, but honestly, I didn’t want to be bottle neck delaying projects every time someone needs to hide or show a list.

Here’s what I came up with instead.

What’s new for SharePoint – April 2025

By May 6, 2025 What's new 0 Comments

April brought an impressive batch of SharePoint updates, and two of them really caught my attention. These exciting changes will transform how teams work with SharePoint while adding some much-needed visual flair.

Microsoft is rolling out Viva Connections cards integration with SharePoint agents, creating a more interactive conversation experience right where you work. This smart addition lets you engage with information cards directly in your conversations without switching contexts.

Additionally, the SharePoint experience is getting a much-needed visual refresh with multi-color themes. Site owners will soon have access to eight new out-of-the-box themes through the Site branding feature, finally breaking free from limited color schemes.

These are just the updates that caught my eye this month! Check out the full blog post to see all the other SharePoint improvements coming your way. What features are you most looking forward to? Drop a comment below and let me know which updates will make the biggest difference for your team.

What’s new for SharePoint – February 2025

By Mar 3, 2025 What's new 0 Comments

In February 2025, Microsoft made some big announcements for SharePoint, and it looks like they’re doing a bit of spring cleaning. They’re retiring some of the less-used features and bringing in new ones to make the platform even better.

On the chopping block are the SharePoint Spaces, the EEEU sharing permission from the root web and default document library in OneDrive, the ability to create personal pages from SharePoint “start”, and the “Shared with Us” feature in SharePoint Teams sites. But it’s not all about saying goodbye – there are some exciting new features too! Users can now create their own cards in Viva Connections, enjoy updates to Microsoft Lists forms in SharePoint Online, use the new Republish feature in Viva Amplify, and check out the new News feature in Microsoft Teams for Viva Connections.
