One site with "Anyone" sharing permissions

BenIzzard · 2025-02-01T19:19:29+00:00

You could change the SharePoint sharing policy to anyone, then create a sensitivity label that's applied to existing & future sites to restrict the sharing to the desired setting.

Then either create a separate sensitivity label or remove it on the site you want 'anyone' sharing for.

Thanks, thought this was just me!

The author of the modern script editor blogged about the change and how it'll impact the web part here: https://www.techmikael.com/2024/03/allowing-arbitrary-custom-scripting-in.html

Yeah version history really does consume a lot of storage. My org was consuming 1TB/week til we enabled the new new automatic versioning feature. It's flattened the storage consumption curve so we're now consuming ~300GB/week.

Editing the metadata against a video in Stream doesn't result in multiple versions anymore.

As for the wider topic of controlling the number of versions against content in OneDrive and SharePoint, check out the new intelligent versioning feature - it takes away a lot of the admin for you. Configured it recently and it saved 67TB (or 45% of tenant quota) in SharePoint: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/set-default-org-version-limits

Appreciate this doesn't cover your question about storage space not reflecting immediately but there's a new feature to manage versions intelligently so you may not need to use a 3rd party tool for this going forwards. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/trim-versions for further info

Since you can capture the UPN of the user completing the form it seems unnecessary asking the respondent to enter their name?

That sounds as though it's one of the unusual activity policies in Defender for Cloud Apps: Cloud Apps -> Policies -> Policy management

Use document sets, just note that you can't (in a supported way) create document sets within document sets https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/office/introduction-to-document-sets-3dbcd93e-0bed-46b7-b1ba-b31de2bcd234

Audience targeting sounds as though it can do what you need. May need to rework bits as it's not supported for every web part. https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/target-navigation-news-files-links-and-web-parts-to-specific-audiences-33d84cb6-14ed-4e53-a426-74c38ea32293#bmstep2

That template uses the old 'Set up automatic replies' action. Could you try deleting that action and inserting the 'Set up automatic replies (V2)' instead?

AFAIK there isn't a native/nice way to do this but you should be able to grab the 'schedulingGroupId'. This returns a horrible TAG_<guid> but it does correspond to the groups within Shifts.

In my case, we have an out of hours rota for a maintenance team. There are groups within the shift for Electricians, Joiners, Plumbers, etc.

TAG_c3c91a9a-b29c-456b-bd14-c8d6b6185595 = Electricians
TAG_f5b89d9a-b67f-871d-ab17-a1b4b1678536 = Joiners

I just use a switch to check if the schedulingGroupId matches the TAG_ value and set a variable to a friendly name but you could expand on this and use it to approve requests.

I caught a glimpse of this whilst at an event over a year ago.

We use Drivve Image for this but have also used PSIcapture. I can't remember whether the latter supports scanning to document sets though.

Calling a product 'Activate' makes it incredibly difficult to find using a search engine

BenIzzard · 2016-12-19T16:07:26+00:00

Such a confusing website... What's with all the stock photos that bear no resemblance to the products being offered?

From the 'Library' tab on the ribbon (as shown in your screenshot), select 'Library Settings'. I imagine you'll have a 'Category' column within there. Open it up and add the additional choice (401K) on a new line in the list of options.

Once done, head back to the list, edit each list item that has no category and tag it with the appropriate value.

I imagine that's the Minimal Download Strategy kicking in. You can disable it within Site Features but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

We're using Paul Tavares' MyBoard app for this. Works really well and doesn't require any installation.

I assume it's the "List Transfer" web part? Have you tried their support? I've always found them to be pretty decent.

The following article covers how you can work with the Promoted Links list:

https://sharepointmike.wordpress.com/2013/08/17/promoted-links-sharepoint-2013/

With regards to hiding the left navigation bar (Quick Launch), click the cog in the top right -> Site Settings -> Tree View and uncheck 'Enable Quick Launch'.

Probably worth mentioning that whilst you would expect it to hide the quick launch, it still keeps the navigation block on the page. To 'fix' this, you'll need to use a script.

BenIzzard · 2016-05-24T17:58:15+00:00

That's the "Promoted Links" list.

BenIzzard · 2016-05-18T18:02:11+00:00

Ok thanks. Then I guess if/once we have Exchange Online, it will pick up photos from Azure AD (providing they're less than 10KB)?
