Managing SharePoint Online with PowerShell - Office 365 for IT Pros

SharePoint permissions are complicated in their own way. A common challenge is trying to share a file or folder, only to see the ‘sharing is limited on this item’ message pop up. It leaves us wondering what’s really happening behind the scenes. Most of the time, it comes down to… The post Limited-Access User Permission Lockdown Mode in SharePoint Online appeared first on Office 365 Reports.| Office 365 Reports
Employees often spend too much time searching for files, chasing approvals, or trying to figure out where the latest company updates are posted. For example, a new employee joining the marketing team may need to email multiple colleagues just to gather policies, project files, and training materials. This fragmented approach… The post How to Create an Intranet in SharePoint Online appeared first on Office 365 Reports.| Office 365 Reports
What's the best way to find SharePoint sites with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK? Is the Get-MgAllSite cmdlet best or should you use the Get-MgSite cmdlet? Does it matter if you’re looking for one site or many sites? We explore the issue in this article by examining some reasons why you’d choose Get-MgSite and others that drive the decision for Get-MgAllSite.| Office 365 for IT Pros
With not a little hype, Microsoft launched the SharePoint Knowledge Agent on September 18. Getting some AI help to organize sites sounds good, but only if the assistance delivered by the artificial intelligence does something useful. In this case, the agent generated some moderately interesting results without ever reaching the level of AI magic anticipated (and reported) by some.| Office 365 for IT Pros
Microsoft 365 Copilot now has some SharePoint skills to deploy in the SharePoint admin center. The problem is that the skills aren't very good and don’t do much to help hard-pressed SharePoint Online administrators cope with the vast explosion of sites that exist in many tenants today. The problem is data. If Copilot doesn’t have the information to reason over, it can’t answer questions or give advice.| Office 365 for IT Pros
A new SharePoint Site content and policy comparison report is available to tenants with Microsoft 365 Copilot or SharePoint advanced management licenses. The idea is that you choose some reference sites to compare other sites against to detect deviations from the reference site. It seems like a good idea if you’re trying to impose standards to control Copilot. Unhappily, attempts at running the report turned up zero results.| Office 365 for IT Pros
In this blog, we explore practical ways to optimize SharePoint Online performance for large document libraries.

Finally, Microsoft solved the technical issues that blocked SharePoint Online support for sensitivity labels with user-defined permissions (UDP). The feature is now generally available and it’s very welcome because support opens access for Office files and PDFs with UDP labels for search and Purview solutions like DLP and eDiscovery. Files with UDP labels applied prior to GA are not processed until they are edited, but that’s reasonable.| Office 365 for IT Pros
Purview Priority Cleanup is growing its capabilities to be able to process files stored in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. Public preview begins in mid-August, and the solution should be generally available at the end of September 2025. Removing files without regard for retention holds is much more complicated than removing mailbox items. The question is who needs this feature and how will it be used?| Office 365 for IT Pros
In July, Microsoft plans to introduce an app consent policy to stop users granting access to third-party apps to their files and sites. Letting users grant unsupervised consent to third-party apps to access files stored in OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online is a bad idea. There are certainly apps out there that need such access, but requiring one-time administrator approval is no hardship.| Office 365 for IT Pros
Copilot Studio Agents can use files as knowledge sources to reason over when they respond to user prompts. We explain how to use the monthly PDFs issued for the Office 365 for IT Pros and Automating Microsoft 365 with PowerShell eBooks as knowledge sources. If you’ve got Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses, this is an interesting way to interact with the books.| Office 365 for IT Pros
After July 1, 2025, any sharing links generated with one-time passcodes (OTP) will stop working. Only links based on Entra ID B2B Collaboration will work. Users who lose access to content shared from SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business will have to contact the original sharer to ask them to generate a new sharing link. Sounds like a recipe for confusion, which is what might happen.| Office 365 for IT Pros

As technology continues to evolve, so too must the platforms and tools we rely on.

These milestones mark the end of support and signal the urgent need to plan your next move.

Microsoft has extended their permissions model for working with files, list items and lists within the Graph API. The newly introduced Files.SelectedOperations.Selected, ListItems.SelectedOperations.Selected and Lists.SelectedOperations.Selected scopes are available in both delegate and application permission flavors and allow you to granularly control application access! At the same time, they use the same model the Sites.Selected permissions used, so you can easily adopt them.| Blog
SharePoint Online continues to iterate at a furious pace. Even in recent months with advancements such as SharePoint Copilot experiences, the new Brand Center, and SharePoint pages via e-mail, Microsoft has demonstrated that the platform shows no sign of slowing down. However, there are still a few core aspects of...| Siolon
