Find SharePoint URL with Site ID

Daniel — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:01:30 +0000

Many moons ago, I was asked by Microsoft to provide the site ID for a SharePoint site from my tenant. I had noted the site ID, but I did not make note of the URL of the site. So that left me with the question 'How do I find the SharePoint URL when I have the Site ID?' Read more to learn two ways to find it!

Have you ever created a column in a SharePoint list or library and noticed that the system name is different from the name you gave it? This is because column names in SharePoint have a system name that does not include spaces. Read more on best practices to use system names appropriately and how to find them!

“SharePoint drives me crazy!”

Daniel — Tue, 08 Dec 2020 18:30:02 +0000

I have been working with Microsoft SharePoint for a long time and have encountered many moments where I thought “SharePoint drives me crazy!” I know I'm not the only one and recently I had the opportunity to join the Microsoft Intrazone podcast to share my story. Two other guests joined the podcast with me: Joanne Klein, SharePoint and Microsoft 365 consultant – Microsoft MVP – and founder of NexNovus Consulting Ruven Gotz, Director, Workplace Experience Lead at Avanade. All three of us have experienced frustration with the product or with situations where SharePoint was a key component. We also have had great success with SharePoint and enabled our clients to achieve much more too! Listen to the SharePoint drives me crazy! – The Intrazone podcast Chris McNulty |@cmcnulty2000 (co-host for the Intrazone podcast) suggests that maybe our frustrations with SharePoint has to do with the product and the people who use it. What do you think? Mark Kashman |@mkashman (Intrazone podcast co-host) walked us through our experience in the distance past, as well as our current dealings with SharePoint and Microsoft 365. Have a listen to the podcast below and let me know what you think on Twitter and LinkedIn. Enjoyed talking with @JoanneCKlein, @RuvenG, @DanielGlenn & @CMcNulty2000 hearing stories about how #SharePoint brought them to the brink… and back, #cray 🤪. Lots of good tips and tricks on working thru and toward solution. Coming soon to #TheIntrazone 🎙 pic.twitter.com/bzEDzQ20Ze — Mark Ka$hman (@mkashman) November 14, 2020

SharePoint Page Difference Visualization

Daniel — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 15:02:24 +0000

As announced during Microsoft Ignite and new to SharePoint Online: view modern page differences in past versions with SharePoint page difference visualization. This functionality will enable page authors to find changes made and reverse them if needed. Check out my video below demonstrating the functionality and then read the details below! Also, you can view on YouTube Manage Versions Versioning and having a version history has been a staple for SharePoint for a long time. However, with this update we are able to get even more detail into what has actually been updated. Using the old (classic) way of viewing version history, there is no way to know what has been changed without check-in comments. With the new way, details on exactly what was changed and in what order those changes were made are clear. The version history pane retains the ability to restore and delete previous versions as well. Therefore, we get great improvement and retain needed functionality. Highlight The Differences Finally, when viewing the Version History pane, you will also see a new feature toggle labeled Highlight changes on the page. When you turn this on, you will see the changes on your page outlined. If you aren't careful, you might miss the color of the highlighting and the icons that are displayed. Three colors are used to highlight updates: green, yellow, and red. These colors correspond with the colors shown in the details on the version history pane. Different icons are shown as well, to give an indication if the item was added, moved, edited, or deleted. Page Authors For page authors, this new functionality will be a boost in productivity. This gives tools needed to not only revert changes, but to also track performed updates like never before in SharePoint.
