It feels odd to write a non-technical post but I read an interesting article about product development around the SharePoint ecosystem at Microsoft over the past 8 years and it is worth sharing.

Power Automate (formerly called Microsoft Flow) is the automation tool for the M365 suite of products.  Like many of you, I grew accustomed to using Workflows and the SharePoint Designer tool to create and edit workflows in previous versions of SharePoint.  Now with Power Automate, there are several ways to connect with other systems.  I’ll […]

Recently, Microsoft has added a nifty button in the upper-left corner of SharePoint Online (part of the Microsoft 365 package) that renders the logged-in user’s recent history for Sites, Lists, and Files, as well as recommended news and global navigation.  The App Bar button is just to the right of the Microsoft 365 “waffle” icon […]
