Finally, AutoFill columns can now be created as Site Columns, well... kind off In the summer of '24 Leon Armston wrote a blog post about the hoops you would have to jump through in order to deploy AutoFill columns, and this blog post is a follow up on that, as Microsoft has upda...

Seems like my subscription actually expired. @leolaporte.me , when a large percentage of the subscribers are semi-paranoid IT admins when the emails address used in these emails matters, just saying 😉

Twit is now among the big boy, being used in phishing 😉
Perhaps I should just switch to the yearly subscription, as I love your shows, especially Windows Weekly, even though Paul isn't as sarcastic as back in the good ol' days

So I had a choice to make today, either finalize 2 or 3 of the blog posts I have 90% ready or spend the day with my granddaughter, including introducing her to chocolate cake.
Sorry, no new blog posts this weekend 😊

Microsoft hired me to write their #SPFx training content, but their docs miss the real-world context developers actually need.

3.1.0 nightly is down to PowerShell 7.2 since about a week ago. I can't get the zippered approach to work, unfortunately

Have you looked into running PnP PowerShell 3.1.0 in a Runbook? I can't find any guide on how to load the nightly builds

And the kayak is always an option if required 😉

Great, do we have a ETA on the next version or a guide on getting the nightly to work? It seems the approach based on downloading the nightly, zipping it and uploading it using the GUI doesn't work.

To little, too late, seems to be the word around here. But it is for sure a topic that I, as a M365 consultant in EU, are following closely.

And I was of cause right, you should automate it ;-)
BTW the notion that SharePoint search can't index anything below 4th or 5th level of folders is not correct, at least it works on my tenant 😊

Office 365 Distilled | Ep166: MegaMigrationChat In this episode, the boys talk about migrations in the wild, and the experiences they had. They end with a brilliant whisky from one of their favorite distilleries.

I can not praise the Office 365 Destilled poscast enough, the service is completely though the roof.
The service level provided by @marijnsomers.bsky.social , predicting exactly what I would suggest, am I really that predictable ;-) ?
