You have been slaving away at getting a page to look just right, with some contents on the page and a list of documents on the right hand side to showcase further reading material. But lo and behold.. SharePoint cuts off the full length of the document name! What? Oh no! This is just another …
As a non-developer (please read this as a disclaimer) I still try to make my life as easy as possible (yes, I am that lazy). PnP Powershell is a big component of that goal. A customer had the requirement to create a page for each of their 86 folders in a document library so they …
If you need the TLDR; version: Add an extra step to do a “get item” from the hidden “TaxonomyHiddenList” and get the path there. Or scroll down to the bottom to skip my adventures in finding out how to get it. One of my customers had a specific requirement: They had a multilevel Managed Metadata …
Managed Metadata fields in SharePoint are a powerful way to distribute common metadata across your environment. When you work with Power Automate, you need to be aware of some limitations (at the moment). I have a love/hate relationship with Power Automate. On one hand I love the capabilities it gives people when working with Office …
For once, we try not to focus on the amazing platform and the supercool apps that we get, but we take a look at how a content-first way of working might benefit users! Content is the core of Office 365. Microsoft gives you so many ways to access your content, we will explore some of …

We got a mention from @Anacozeca on twitter with a question after our last episode: He has a 15 year old fileshare that he is “hygienising” and wants to move to SharePoint. He has a big laser scanner that is generating really big files, storing them on the fileshare. Now it is time to move …
As I was busy creating the shownotes for Office 365 Distilled ep30, I heard Steve (my co-presenter) asking about this document templates feature in SharePoint. I meant to write a blogpost about this sooner but it kind of piled up next to the other 100 ideas I want to write down. So here goes! Announced …
Steve and Marijn get their best French out, while they talk about the 27 club, french onions and a french whisky. Steve talks about his OneDrive migration project, where they let the end users do the manual lifting (and getting rid of everything that is not moved). Marijn talks about re-engineering a business process with …
Earlier this week I had a head scratching issue from a power user at a customer. The goal was to set up a new library, but when people wanted to share files, the “Allow editing” button was grayed out and not clickable. Wow. That is weird! Even for “specific people”, we couldn’t create a link …
