Set the default open behavior for browser enabled documents
I was recently asked how to configure documents that are in a SharePoint document library to open in their native application on the client computer instead of the browser.

Managing SharePoint Access Requests
During a recent intranet deployment project, a client asked what would happen if she clicked the ‘Accept’ link on the SharePoint access request email she received from one of her coworkers. She was a bit surprised by my answer and after that conversation, I thought it would be good to do a quick video explaining the process. What permissions do users get if you accept their access request? How are those users managed on the SharePoint site and is there a best practice for managing access requests? Watch the video below to find out!

Check out my quick video below where I show how to easily get dismissed messages back in the ‘active’ view.
