Power Automate (formerly called Microsoft Flow) is the automation tool for the M365 suite of products. Like many of you, I grew accustomed to using Workflows and the SharePoint Designer tool to create and edit workflows in previous versions of SharePoint. Now with Power Automate, there are several ways to connect with other systems. I’ll […]
Scott Ortlepp at SProbot has provided a step-by-step guide of an end-to-end process for Governance in an M365 environment. First, he set up a Contract Contact Type, then a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy in the SharePoint Admin Center, followed by setting up a Compliance rule within the policy that blocks files associated with the […]
Today I was reading this article from the SharePointEurope.com site about PDF forms. Most likely, as a SharePoint admin you’re going to want to use a SharePoint List to capture input from a form.

Today I found two tools from LinkTek that I want to share. First, the free one. LinkReporter is a free tool that reports on broken links throughout your IT enterprise. I suggest you run it and then decide to either fix the links manually or use a paid product to fix them for you. The […]

The post was released previously but updated today. It may take even longer for those of us on the Government Cloud […]
There has been, and continues to be, a lot of buzz about PowerApps in Microsoft365 (previously called Office365). As the workflow engines behind SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013 workflows are disabled and soon to be disabled (respectively) for SharePoint Online, the push is to rewrite them for SharePoint Online using PowerApps. That’s pretty much the […]
If you have received any of these errors lately trying to connect via Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to your Microsoft365 tenant using PowerShell, the resolution may be that you need to revise your login script.

With Microsoft disabling SharePoint 2010 workflows in Microsoft365, you may find yourself hurriedly creating an inventory of all of your workflows in SharePoint Online so you can rewrite them in PowerAutomate or Nintex.
