Table of ContentsToggle After writing about the basics of using the SharePoint Pages Graph API, I wanted a practical example to illustrate how the API might be used. After thinking about the matter, I decided to follow the well-worn path of creating items from an RSS feed. Office 365 connectors were a popular way to create items from RSS feeds in Outlook Groups, SharePoint, and Teams until Microsoft retired the connectors in July 2024.

Table of ContentsToggle Some time ago, I wrote about a new sensitivity label setting to block access to content services. The feature uses an advanced label setting that must be configured using PowerShell. The makeover of the Purview portal doesn’t support allowing administrators to enable the setting through the current interface.

Table of ContentsToggle Originally planned for release in November 2023, Microsoft is approaching general availability for SharePoint version controls in Microsoft 365 tenants worldwide. The update is described in MC789209 (last updated 9 August 2024, Microsoft 365 roadmap item 145802). Full deployment is expected to be completed by mid-October 2024, so now’s a good time to review if your tenant can take advantage of the new capability.

Table of ContentsToggle A reader asked about the possibility of emailing details of events scheduled for a room mailbox to a distribution list. It’s easy to envisage scenarios where this capability would be useful. For instance, a team might be responsible for looking after a set of conference rooms at a location and wish to know about events a week or even a day ahead. In any case, no such feature exists in Exchange Online, so let’s figure out what’s possible with PowerShell.

Table of ContentsToggle In July 2022, I wrote about using the Graph APIs to report files in a SharePoint Online document library. The script structure was straightforward: select a site, select a document library within the site, and report the files and folders found within the library. It was my first opportunity to work with SharePoint Online using Graph APIs and was an invaluable learning experience.

Table of ContentsToggle Since its introduction in 2016, the unified audit log has been a great source of information for Microsoft 365 tenant administrators. Depending on the workloads running in a tenant, the audit log can ingest over 1,600 different events. Tenants with Purview Audit (standard) licenses (Office 365 E3) can access audit events for 180 days while those with Purview Audit (premium) licenses can access events for 365 days.

Table of ContentsToggle One of the most useful ways of tracking changes made by Microsoft to the Microsoft 365 workloads is to synchronize message center notifications from the Microsoft 365 admin center to Planner. This ability to synchronize update post to Planner first appeared in 2020 and I have been using it ever since.

Table of ContentsToggle A question in the Teams forum in the Microsoft Technical Community asks if it’s possible to clear out all the posts in a channel to “effectively start afresh.” Later in the thread, the reason is given that the channel is full of old messages relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and comments about working from home. The unwanted messages are in the General channel, so they’re obvious to all team members (unless they use the option to hide the General channel).

Table of ContentsToggle Recently I wrote about the choice between the use of Outlook’s Junk Email Filter and tenant-wide allow/block lists. It’s a complicated topic that requires a lot of work by administrators to decide what’s best for a tenant. This article dives into the detail of what the tenant allow/block list is and how to maintain block entries automatically.
