Randomly, this happens to me, which is worse than all the time.

Is it actually true that there is no admin capabilities for #MicrosoftPlanner? Nowhere we can see all the plans, when they were last used, and whether they are owned by a Microsoft 365 Group??

All day, every day.

"Oh look, new feature you might never use, or already demonstrably use, would you like a tour?"

No! Let me get on with my work flow!

Finally, some good news.

Using SharePoint Managed Metadata for Search In this Ask Sympraxis session, we expand on the foundational concepts discussed in the previous episode, focusing on the role of SharePoint Managed Metadata for Search. If you haven’t caught up on that episode yet, we recommend starting there to better understand the central role of the term store and managed metadata in building a robust information architecture. Term store vs. managed metadata The term store and managed metadata are often mentioned together, but it’s important to differentiate between the two. The term store is essentially the repository where terms are created, managed, and stored, while managed metadata refers to the method by which these terms are integrated into SharePoint. Though they work hand in hand, they serve different purposes within SharePoint’s ecosystem.

Some #AskSympraxis episodes are worth a second look - like this one on Managed Metadata & Search in #SharePoint.

If you're building a strong info architecture or struggling with metadata consistency, this one’s packed with practical tips (and reminders we still need).

"Microsoft’s AI CEO thinks Copilot will age and ‘have a room that it lives in’"

On this we agree. It's time to put Copilot in the old folks home. Enjoy the pudding!
