The feature that I’ve been waiting for since I started customizing SharePoint 13 years ago has finally arrived! SharePoint pages are now more versatile than ever with the introduction of flexible sections. This new feature gives us greater control over the layout of our SharePoint pages, allowing us to place elements exactly where we want them.
In the classic SharePoint world, sites used to have both vertical and horizontal navigation. I did quite a few customizations for both, including creating a collapsible menu for vertical navigation.
In today’s post, I want to show you how you can bring some of those old vibes to the modern SharePoint communication sites and how you can use the Site Pages library to create a collapsible menu for your pages that can be used as a template.
Let’s implement this solution using just standard SharePoint components; you’ll be surprised.
In today’s digital age, fostering a sense of community and connection within an organization is more important than ever. One way to enhance this sense of connection is through the use of personalized greetings on your SharePoint intranet. A custom greeting not only adds a personal touch but also helps users better relate with the intranet, thereby boosting adoption and engagement.
I’ve developed a custom solution that allows you to add a personalized greeting message for each user. This solution is now available in the Apps and Services section of my blog.
I’m excited to tell you that with the new form experience in Microsoft Lists, you no longer need to grant permissions to the list to collect data. This seamless integration means that you can embed a form directly into any SharePoint page, allowing users to submit information without navigating away from the page.
As SharePoint evolves, it continues to offer new and exciting ways to create engaging digital environments. With the anticipation of a new feature that will allow users to set images as the background for page sections, I find it the perfect moment to revisit a technique I previously shared – using videos as backgrounds in SharePoint page header.
In today’s work environment, we’ve all witnessed the transformation of how we get things done. Work is all about collaboration, flexibility, and staying connected. Chances are you’ve heard that technology should be where you work, seamlessly integrated into your daily routine.
Microsoft understands this need and has made great improvements in that direction. While most applications were brought into Microsoft Teams, there is another exciting perspective worth exploring: bringing Microsoft Teams to your SharePoint intranet.
Microsoft Loop is a game-changer in collaboration, communication, and information sharing within teams and across organizations. With its intuitive interface and robust capabilities, Loop has revolutionized the way we work together within Microsoft 365, enabling seamless content creation and management.
To bring collaboration to the next level and to take advantage of your intranet in this blog post I’m showing how you can embed Microsoft Loop pages in SharePoint pages.
The world of Microsoft technology is always evolving, and one of the most exciting aspects of it is the release of new applications. The moment we hear about a groundbreaking app, FOMO takes over, and we can’t wait to get our hands on it.
However, sometimes, even after configuring everything correctly, you might not see the app listed in your tenant. This can be frustrating, but don’t worry, usually there is a solution to get a faster access.
In this blog post, I’m going to show you how to access Viva Amplify on day one, even if it doesn’t appear in your list of apps.
When it comes to crafting the perfect SharePoint page, we all want to hit the bullseye on the first try. But let’s face it, finding that sweet spot of layout, design, and content organization can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. And who has the time to start from scratch every single time?
That’s where the magic of copying comes in. Yep, you heard it right – copying. It’s a nifty little trick that can save you heaps of time and effort in your SharePoint page creation adventures. With just a few clicks, you can duplicate an existing page and put it through a series of tests, tweaking and refining until you’ve achieved page perfection without breaking a sweat.
Videos have proven to be a powerful tool for engaging users within organizations. With their captivating nature and dynamic visual appeal, videos offer limitless possibilities to effectively communicate important information. Whether you wish to share timely updates, rebroadcast all-hands meetings, or provide reusable training materials, integrating videos into your SharePoint can elevate your communication strategy to new heights.
In this blog post, I’m showing the process of enabling video news links in SharePoint, unlocking the potential to seamlessly share information in your organization.
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.
