At Ignite 2024, Microsoft said that Copilot for Microsoft 365 tenants would benefit from SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM). What does that mean? Well, it doesn’t mean that Copilot tenants get SAM licenses, which is what many expect. It does mean that SAM checks for Copilot before it lets tenants use some, but not all, of its features.

There is few files that I would need to set so that only few people has modification permissions for these files. All the members of the Group has modification persmission to all files at the moment. How can change the permission for these few files so that not all have modification permission to the files and the for the Group members has only view permission for these files?How SharePoint Online Intelligent Versioning Interacts with Retention Policies and Labels
Intelligent versioning recently appeared in SharePoint Online. The purpose is to save storage by removing unnecessary versions. But retention policies and labels can stop the removal of versions. This article explains what happens when SharePoint Online attempts to trim (remove) unwanted versions of files under the control of retention policies and labels. https://office365itpros.com/2024/11/13/intelligent-versioning-spo/
Sharepoint Sync-On-Demand & Application.Path
A few years back I traced some weird VBA Macro code behavior in Excel back to a SharePoint feature called "Sync-On-Demand". When Sync-On-Demand is turned on, the VBA code "Application.Path" no longer returns the actual file location, and starts returning a SharePoint site. It does these without any warning and as far as I can tell there is no documentation about this. This broke my companies primary management software until I traced it down and turned off Sync-On-Demand for my remote users. As of this week, the Sync-On-Demand option is not only gone from the Settings, but it seems to be secretly turned back on in the background as well. If we weren't inspecting values after the code crashed, we would not even know this is happening. This means that right now anyone who is using SharePoint and thinks they are opening a local file, is actually opening a web location without even being told about it in any visible way. And it's being done through some sort of background hackery. It's shady as F. We have opened a support ticket but so far they don't even seem to know they have done this and are pointing to new settings locations, but those do not yet exist for us. Is there anyone here with knowledge of this issue and some way for us to turn the sneaky Sync-On-Demand off as of today? The new help docs provided to us show a Conext Menu option available from an Explorer window, but that option does not exist for us. Does anyone know a way to get the file location of whatever Excel file is running a VBA Macros? Application.Path is supposed to be that, but I need a new way that actually works to return the actual harddrive path location, not the SharePoint location.
Migrating Data from SharePoint Space to Mesh
I just found out that SharePoint Space is being depreciated. The replacement is Mesh for 3D call environments.... So I have SharePoint Space that I would like to preserve. It's for employees to tour office spaces virtually and it took a long time to make. I have a few questions. Is Mesh standalone or included in MS 365? Is there an extra charge? Is there a simple way to migrate Sharepoint Space data to Mesh? Are there other alternatives besides Mesh? Thank youReporting the Creation of SharePoint Agents
Any site member can create a SharePoint agent. There’s no out-of-the-box method to report the creation of agents, but agents are created like any other file, and SharePoint Online captures audit records for file creations. Some PowerShell retrieves the file creation events and extracts the necessary information about who is creating agents and what sites the agents are created in. https://office365itpros.com/2025/04/10/report-sharepoint-agent-creation/Sharepoint List Dynamic Hyperlink
Hi There, has anyone experience with creating a dynamic hyperlink from a sharepoint list.. I have a fixed folder with a list of pdfs (drawings of components) e.g. APPLE12A.pdf / APPLE12B.pdf / APPLE12C.pdf I have a column named PartCode and this contains .... APPLE12A / APPLE12B / APPLE12C etc... I created doclink calculated column, to join a fixed folder path followed by the part code.pdf, because i want to be able to click on the link and open a drawing for each respective part code. My doclink calculated column formula is.... =CONCATENATE("C:\Documents\Quality Control Resources\COMPONENTS","\",PartCode,".pdf").... The address looks correct, but its not clickable... Im wondering can anyone offer assistance or a better way to approach this?? ThanksHow to Report Who Shared What File From SharePoint Online Sites
File sharing is at the heart of SharePoint Online. Being able to report file sharing events by analyzing the audit log is a good skill for Microsoft 365 tenant administrators to have. It allows administrators to know who shared what with whom and if the information being shared is protected adequately with sensitivity labels. But reporting file sharing is not just a matter of retrieving audit events. Work is necessary to refine and extract the goodness from the data. https://office365itpros.com/2025/04/08/report-file-sharing-events/
