SharePoint pages are a great way to create and share content with your team and organization. You can use web parts, layouts, and rich media to make your pages look engaging and professional. But did you know that SharePoint pages also have some hidden features that can make your life easier? In this article, I will share four of these features that you won’t want to miss.
In this blog post, I’m showing you how to create a custom document library template for SharePoint using the existing PowerShell-based tooling for creating custom list templates. This feature is rolling out to Microsoft 365 customers in February and March 2024, and it will allow you to provide your users with more options and flexibility when creating document libraries in SharePoint.
SharePoint is a powerful platform for creating and managing web pages for your organization. However, sometimes you may want to review and approve the content of your pages before they go live. This is where a publishing workflow comes in handy.
In this blog post, I will show you how to enable a publishing workflow for SharePoint pages, and why it is good for your organization.
Did you know that Microsoft Edge has a built-in feature to take screenshots of web pages? You can easily capture a full-page image of any web page with just a few clicks. However, there is a catch: this feature only works well if the scroll is in the body element of the web page. Unfortunately, this is not the case for SharePoint pages, as the scroll is placed in a different element. This means that the screenshot feature will only capture the visible part of the browser window, and not the entire SharePoint page.
But don’t worry, there is a workaround for this problem. In this blog post, I will show you how you can use a simple JavaScript bookmarklet to modify the SharePoint page and move the scroll to the body element. This way, you can use the screenshot feature of Microsoft Edge to get your full-page SharePoint images.
Microsoft kicked off the year with exciting news about SharePoint branding and how you can customize your intranet with your own corporate identity. In addition, Microsoft Lists and OneDrive received new features and enhancements. To stay on top of the latest updates on SharePoint and related technologies, don’t miss this blog post.
Sometimes you need to test SharePoint solutions in your tenant before making them available to everyone or simply to restrict the use to a subset of users by making them available in specific sites. If you are a SharePoint administrator and already have the global SharePoint app catalog created, you will be able to create site collection app catalogs for your site collections individually. Unfortunately, this feature is not available through the SharePoint admin UI and will require you to use one of the available PowerShell modules to manage SharePoint. In this article, we will see how to do it using PnP PowerShell.
Sometimes, you may need to copy a SharePoint page from one site to another. For example, you may want to reuse a page as a template, update a page with new information, or migrate a page to a different site collection. However, there is no out-of-the-box solution to achieve this between sites. You may have to manually recreate the page on the destination site or use a third-party tool or script to copy the page.
Fortunately, you can use the tools you already have in your Microsoft 365 license to create a copy/migration solution for pages using Microsoft Lists and Power Automate. In this blog post, I will show you how to use Microsoft Lists and Power Automate to copy pages between SharePoint sites.
Do you have videos that you want to share with your audience, but not allow them to download? If so, you might be interested in the new feature that Microsoft Stream has introduced to make it easier for you to block video download for your videos.
Some videos are meant to be viewed but not downloaded. For example, you might have videos that contain sensitive or confidential information, or videos that are licensed or copyrighted. By blocking video download, you can prevent unauthorized copying, distribution, or misuse of your videos.
Welcome to the last edition of my monthly blog post for 2023, where I share the latest updates for SharePoint and related technologies. December was a calm month, with everyone getting ready for the holidays and the pace of announcements and updates slowing down for the season. However, there were still some important news to share, especially around SharePoint sharing and Microsoft Stream.
The migration deadline for moving your videos from the classic Stream to the new Stream, which is integrated with SharePoint. If you still have videos on the classic Stream, you need to migrate them to SharePoint before it’s too late.
I hope you find this blog post useful and informative. As always, feel free to leave your comments and feedback below. Thank you for reading and happy new year!
SharePoint is the base foundation for most of the new apps being released for Microsoft 365, such as Microsoft Loop and Microsoft Designer. But did you know that SharePoint can also be the foundation for your own custom applications? With SharePoint Embedded, you can use SharePoint as a headless CMS, giving you the power and flexibility of Microsoft security and storage features while at the same time you have a lot more control to build amazing new applications.
I've been working with Microsoft Technologies over the last ten years, mainly focused on creating collaboration and productivity solutions that drive the adoption of Microsoft Modern Workplace.
