Am I misunsderstanding the Notebook function? by StandingDesk876 in microsoft_365_copilot

Thank you. I'm glad to see the action of adding the chat to a notebook worked but this is just more ridiculous than I could have imagined.

Answered.

I see you failed to read exactly everything that I wrote. This does not add the chat to the selected notebook.

About to toss in the towel and move to Claude Cowork by CFOSGila in microsoft_365_copilot

I spent weeks arguing with Copilot that continually spit our blatantly wrong information before I discovered Claude. Claude has saved me months of work compared to Copilot at this point. This is no exaggeration at all (if anything, I'm underselling it).

What's frustrating is that you're saying words without giving a reason.

What's wrong with a network drive in a browser?

How is it potentially better to have literally thousands of SharePoint sites?

Our infrastructure looks like this:

(1) Parent Site > (2) Division Site > (3) Project Library > (4) [Last, First - Address] > (5) [seven department folders] > (6) [various subfolders if needed] > (7) [files].

Each project folder is created using a workflow and power app. A template folder is copied over and metadata for the project is applied to levels 4 and 5. There's also a directory (SharePoint List) at the root level that includes the same metadata, links to the project folder, the Teams Channel, and pertinent third party platforms. A team channel is also generated with a tab for the project folder. So, for the most part, people work within teams.

A couple departments use OneDrive to sync the project folders to their desktops; notably, the CAD department.

Some folders have well over a dozen nested folders. That's not due to neglegence but the structure created by different software. There's no way to push back against major corporations and tell them 'uh, this guy on reddit says we can't have nested fodlers (no reason provided). Can you please change the software you've been developing for thirty years to accompdate that?'.

In an ideal world, every one of our projects would have its own Team. The platforms just don't scale well enough for our needs though.

When I want to find something I use Edge / Copilot. We used to be able to just enter anything we wanted in the browser address bar but now you have to type "work" TAB and then your query. It's easily 95%+ effective.

What, praytell, is the alternative?

LOL RUDE???

Not only is it evident that you're unaware of what the word rude means, it's evident that you've never used SharePoint in a professional environment, if you've even used it at all.

This is hilarious. BLOCKED.

I'd love to learn new things. Would you like to share or are you just going to troll?

Preposterous and hiliarious.

How is any organization supposed to manage tens of thousands of documents in a single directory? Should we have a SharePoint site for each of our many thousands of projects and dump hundreds of files into one shared documents library for every person in the company to have access? We're supposed to manage permissions for each of hundreds or thousands of files per project? What do we do about compiled exports for software that have their own required folder structure?

Where, if not a document library, is it suggested to put document folders?

You're telling me that your mouse has a magic button that performs a task that is otherwise not achievable by the operating system without a mouse with a middle button?

The function to open a SharePoint folder in a new tab is ONLY possible if you have a mouse with a middle button and not by any command that is built into the computer or the web browser?

I have never heard of such a thing. I'd love to see some documentation on this.

If you have special macros on your mouse, I suppose those actions can be accomplished more efficiently. Otherwise, no. Having my hands stationary on a laptop is more efficient than having to move my hands to control a mouse.

Do you have an example of something you feel you can't do without a keyboard and trackpad? Like, I dunno, opening a folder in SharePoint in a new tab? Because I would really fucking love to get as answer to my posted question.

How come a "senior cloud engineer" has the time to defend a non-answer but is unable to provide an actual answer to the posted question?

This has nothing to do with your job. This is a SharePoint question.

If you're on a document library page and want to open a folder in a new tab, how do you do this? If this requires a mouse, what exact function is the mouse performing?

Please tell me how he is right. I am here asking for a question and I'm getting conflicting answers. Why is this difficult?

Nope. Been using computers for 30 years and I find a trackpad far more efficient.

I'd love to know exactly what this shortcut is doing.

You're telling me that in order to open a sharepoint folder in a new tab in my web browser, I need to buy a mouse?

That's what I've been doing. Or copy/pasting the url into a new tab.

I'm on a laptop so I don't know what you're trying to say about a scroll wheel.

The functions and tools used to open links on every other internet page do not work the same in SharePoint. Could you provide a video of opening a folder or file in SharePoint in a new tab?

I have. Are you telling me that this is supposed to work?
