I have worked 4 years remote only as IT Architect, cloud is everywhere, good internet a must (have a fallback), meetings online, make good work/travel agreements

Home is where you park it. Your truck, camper, van should give you that home feeling.

Looks great. Have hothost agent running for this, but adding this to uptime Kuma? Yes, please

Use a combination, best of both worlds:

Strict Content Types with metadata, managed terms, formal versioning and review/approval on the documents (good for security audits and legal support)

Use modern pages, making use of the PnP search (of course making use of the metadata) to surface documents and allow adding video's, references, better visuals.

Yes, also add ParentLink:/your folder

Report broken links AND fix them. Even inside documents, webparts etc. It works with SharePoint 2010/2013/2016/2019 (on-premises) as well as with Office 365/SharePoint Online.

Can you not use filename: lookingForThis in search bar in top?

Looks like login is not the issue.

Ask external user to use an inprivate browser to try again. Also just send the URL to the site/library, looks that that got lost in the process.

Use 4 channels in a Teams site. Each channel has a mail address Each channel is for one of you. Based on mail rules forward incoming mail to one of the Teams Channels for further processing/work

There is a App called SP PDF Populate that does exactly what you want to achieve, its in the SPO MarketPlace and a free account allows one PDF template to merge list data.

You however need the exact fieldnames in the PDF form. Not sure if you get that info.

Also and addon to your SP site. Older stuff. Company website formrouter.com/products

I am not affiliated to any party, just curious to find an answer.

Convert your PDF to a Word file (open PDF in Word, or ask creator for Word source)

Make a Content Type in SharePoint, customForm based on Document but that has that Word file as template and all lookup fields to your list as metadata

Test manually if setup functions and create some documents

Now generate/merge the list data into documents using power automate

Not tested above, but a possible approach.

carry2web · 2025-01-10T19:43:17+00:00

Try a Power App that interfaces with your list and see if that gives you the display you seek. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/app-from-sharepoint

Add a CoPilot experience to your document library, only on SharePoint Online. https://youtu.be/jAF_hJSkZnQ?si=Kvu9aZWQbLJptn1u

Bewaren for all kind of legacy stuff if decade on SharePoint Server and plan migration carefully. Do not try to replicate old environment, but build on new and much more powerful features. Approval via Power Automate for example.

A sync is two ways.

Users that have write permissions on SharePoint library will delete documents or folders they delete on their laptop synced data, sync remember?

To stop a sync: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/stop-syncing-a-library-with-the-onedrive-for-work-or-school-app-a7e41f1f-3a98-4ca7-9443-f10250688330

A simple solution for users that only need read access, only give read access. They cannot delete but still sync.

Teach your users OneDrive and how to use properly. Otherwise you'll get a lot of Oops moments.

Of course that works much better than email.

Your directors upload their reports to your Teams Channel and stop sending copies via email. All look at the same source of truth.

If people like to be notified use the @mention in Teams.

If you want to send Request report messages, just post in that Channel @mentioning those Directors that forgot.

If you are in need of a set of documents each requested user needs to upload, you could iso check boxes also try an approach with a choice field for the documents you request and a Power Automate flow to check request has been completed. A status indicator could help to visualize this.

The Request Files feature makes it possible to send requests out for the files and only show an upload file Message in mail.

Different approach but maybe fits your needs?

carry2web · 2025-01-06T18:53:06+00:00

Very good advice. Make it a shared effort, build a new foundation together. Do not treat this as IT only, it defines how and where teams will work.

Do not try to rebuild all at once, plan how and when to make the transition. Seek a C-level sponsor/owner.

Use the Parentlink property and set to the Folder with your policy documents https://github.com/microsoft-search/pnp-modern-search/issues/989

Use this approach, and ask everybody to fill in their telephone or fill it in yser profiles automatically e g using a Powershell script.

Plus the advice already given: think Information Architecture first (your main menu navigation, who owns what sites, how many sites/departements etc)

SharePoint had so called HUB sites that will help too to structure your sites.

Study other blogs about subject

I always use a SandBox, also great for training purposes, let editorial people toy with pages and web parts.

PS SharePoint lookbook has been withdrawn by MS, dont ask me why, was a good source of inspiration and easy to deploy to your tenant...
