Seeing Track Changes in a SharePoint Page

In SharePoint, you can set up approval workflows to ensure that content is not disseminated to the entire organization before being reviewed by the approvers. Once you have the approval configured, the only thing you will see is a link to the page in the Approvals application and a description from the person who made the changes, telling you what was modified.

However, it’s not always easy to know what has been changed just by looking at the description, especially if you don’t know all your SharePoint pages by heart. In this article, I’ll explain how to see the track changes, a concept similar to what we have in Microsoft Word.

How to Take a SharePoint full Page Screenshot Using Microsoft Edge

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.

In today’s digital age, collaboration and information sharing are at the heart of every successful organization’s operations. SharePoint has long been a go-to platform for businesses seeking to streamline their content management and collaboration efforts, however, there has always been one lingering challenge: sharing content precisely, without exposing more than necessary.

Until now, sharing SharePoint pages and news posts often meant sharing the entire site, potentially exposing sensitive data and cluttering the recipient’s view with unrelated content. But that’s all changing. In this blog post, I’m thrilled to introduce a game-changing feature that promises to transform how you collaborate within SharePoint: the ability to share SharePoint pages and news posts individually, just like you can with other Microsoft 365 files in a document library.
