I remember the Property Bag feature from long ago, namely SharePoint 2013. I never used it. Apparently, it’s still around and available for SharePoint Online. There is no GUI for it so setting or viewing Property Bag key/value pairs is done either programmatically or via PowerShell. Scripts are disabled by default on SharePoint Online modern […]
Want to edit the toolbar on a list in SharePoint Online as shown above? April Dunham has provided an excellent and concise video on YouTube. She covers how to hide, move, and edit the text on the various toolbar buttons on a SharePoint list by editing the JSON for the List view. Caveat: You have […]
I cannot say enough about Salaudeen Rajack. His website – SharePointDiary.com – is awesome and I often find content there that one simply cannot find elsewhere. Recently, he posted a list on LinkedIn of 10 excellent (and free) resource guides that he offers on his website. So I’m copying and pasting the list here for […]
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. This is an interesting behind-the-scenes view. It seems to me that the focus lately has been on the end-user experience, the UI/UX, […]
Scott Ortlepp at SProbot has provided a step-by-step guide of an end-to-end process for Governance in an M365 environment. First, he set up a Contract Contact Type, then a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy in the SharePoint Admin Center, followed by setting up a Compliance rule within the policy that blocks files associated with the […]

The form will probably be either the default form created for you when you created the list, or that very form […]
This article from SProbot compares two different methods for blocking external access to SharePoint Online sites: PowerShell vs Sensitivity Labels. I find the first section on the PowerShell method to be the preferred method. The caveat here is that to perform this method you must have Global Admin rights on the O365 tenant. In my […]
If you’re working with a modern SharePoint Online site, such as the modern Communications site, you are probably disappointed at the limited number and features of the web parts available. Notably, the Script Editor web part (SEWP) and the Content Editor web part (CEWP) are no longer available, which is most unwelcome. To fill this […]
I cannot count the number of clients I’ve encountered who have treated the default document library on a SharePoint site as the *only* document library they could use. So they filled it up with folders, then sub-folders, then sub-sub-folders, etc. It makes for a difficult conversation. I usually say “let’s take ALL of the top-level […]
Today I found two tools from LinkTek that I want to share. First, the free one. LinkReporter is a free tool that reports on broken links throughout your IT enterprise. I suggest you run it and then decide to either fix the links manually or use a paid product to fix them for you. The […]
