@quickbooksca.bsky.social is abusing their captive client base with huge price raise every year. This is unacceptable. 141% raise over 7 years, 16% average per year. No noticeable feature change that I can make use of.

Very insightful. Two "new" features that I systematically recommend to deactivate are taking flak.

Yes, it happened to me a week or two ago. At first, I thought of a silent admission of failure by MS (which I would agree). But now there is a message that says they are postponing deployment to March. On Mac, the new experience is still there for me.

MSOnline Module Retirement in April 2025; AzureAD Soon After The MSOnline module retirement happens in April 2025 and the AzureAD module follows in the 3rd quarter. It's way past time to upgrade PowerShell scripts.

You've heard this before, but we are in the final days before the retirement of the #AzureAD and #MSOnline #PowerShell modules at the end of a long-running and much-delayed process. Get off these modules... and use the Graph SDK!

Building a blog post helper agent for Microsoft 365 Copilot In my journey with Microsoft 365 technologies, I write blog posts to share my knowledge. Recently, I explored creating an AI agent with Microsoft 365 Copilot to assist in content creation. As an MVP,…

I love @pkbullock.com 's amazing Declarative Agent for M365 Copilot. It uses the new WebSearch feature to integrate with his blog; it can summarize, extract code snippets, and even generate header images based on the article contents.

Big Updates for Teams Recording and Transcription Policies Microsoft is rolling out some big changes for Teams recording and transcription policies in February 2025. By default, meeting transcription is enabled.

#MicrosoftTeams will split policy controls for recording and transcription for meetings and events in February. It's one of several changes in the area that #Microsoft365 tenant admins should review.

Office tags were redundant with SharePoint metadata. Why confuse the users?

Microsoft Search in Bing Gets the Bullet On 19 Dec 2024, Microsoft announced the retirement of the Microsoft Search in Bing feature. Copilot is better at searching and presenting web and work results.

Another two #Microsoft365 features are to be retired in early 2025: Microsoft Search in Bing and Office tags. Removing this functionality won't upset too many people, but it is a reminder that cloud features can disappear abruptly.

New Method Available for Updating User Profile Details The scheduled retirement of Delve on December 16, 2024 meant that Microsoft had to create a new way to update user profile settings. The new method is now here.

With the retirement of Delve imminent, #Microsoft365 has a new way for users to update their profiles. Unhappily, some old bits of #SharePoint are still present and confuse matters. Oh well, good progress with more work to do...

Starting today you can udpate your profile in #Microsoft365 using a new and modern profile editor (replacing the #Delve experience). Go to office.com, search for your name and click on it and find the "Update your profile" button. The team is eager for feedback!

Hey #SharePoint Permission Management does not need to be over engineered. Manage permissions at the highest level.

06.12.2024 21:32 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

People often are apprehensive about the number of #SharePoint Sites that are created. My approach though? Create separate sites for each unit of work, project or functions. Set and Manage Permissions at that level.

Enable Intelligent Versioning for OneDrive for Business Intelligent versioning means that SharePoint Online manages file versions automatically and only keeps what's needed. The feature works for OneDrive too.

You can apply SharePoint intelligent versioning to #OneDrive with just a few steps, either manually or with #PowerShell. Here's how:
