Exploring SharePoint REST API Endpoints

The SharePoint REST API is organized entirely around one root path ({site-url}/_api/) with everything else (lists, files, users, search) hanging off web, site, or a dedicated service beneath it. Here’s a reference list of the endpoints you’ll actually reach for, plus a working example calling one from plain JavaScript. In this post: Site and web

Custom Tabs: Hillbilly Tabs in Modern SharePoint

Worth a direct correction before anything else: “Hillbilly Tabs” isn’t a generic jQuery/Script Editor technique. It’s the name of one specific, real, open-source SPFx web part built by Mark Rackley, and describing it as DOM manipulation via a Script Editor web part describes a different, unrelated (and now largely non-functional) approach entirely. This post covers

PowerShell: SharePoint Group Operations

SharePoint Online Management Shell has its own dedicated cmdlet family for site-collection-level group operations. Distinct from the PnP PowerShell cmdlets covered elsewhere on this site for adding users to an existing group. This post covers the SPO Management Shell versions specifically: creating, modifying, and removing groups, plus a couple of real gotchas that don’t show

Extract SharePoint Permission with PowerShell

Worth a direct correction before anything else: a script that connects with Connect-SPOService and then reads $site.RootWeb and $web.RoleAssignments was never going to work, independent of the auth method. Connect-SPOService connects to the SharePoint Online Management Shell’s tenant-admin cmdlets, and Get-SPOSite returns a simple property object with no RootWeb on it, not a live CSOM

Options on Connecting SharePoint online modules in PowerShell

Worth a direct correction before anything else: username/password authentication to SharePoint Online (the pattern most older connection examples are built around) stopped working entirely as of May 1, 2026, when Microsoft fully retired legacy (IDCRL) authentication with no re-enable option. A second, separate method (app-only authentication via a client secret) also stopped working, since it

Unveiling JavaScript: Exploring Multiple Options to Format Numbers as Currency

JavaScript has several built-in and third-party ways to format a number as currency. Here are the ones worth knowing, and when to reach for each. 1. toLocaleString: built into JavaScript, formats a number according to the given locale: 2. Intl.NumberFormat: part of the ECMAScript Internationalization API, gives more control than toLocaleString and is the modern

CSS Demystified: A Quick Glance Cheat Sheet!

A working reference of the CSS properties and techniques that come up constantly when building responsive layouts. Viewport setup, media queries, flexbox and grid, positioning, transforms, and the modern tools (clamp, custom properties, container queries) that are now widely supported enough to actually rely on rather than treat as bleeding-edge. In this post: Responsive foundations

Microsoft Teams Competitors

Microsoft Teams’ real competitors are a shorter, more specific list than “everything with a chat window”, lumping in project-management tools and B2B sales databases muddies the comparison rather than clarifying it. This post keeps to genuine direct competitors: platforms that do the same core job (chat, meetings, file collaboration) that an organization would actually pick

Unleashing SharePoint List Data Extraction with PowerShell

Extracting SharePoint list data to CSV via PowerShell is genuinely simple for a small list. The part that trips people up is the connection method that’s since been removed, and the list-view threshold that silently breaks the simple version of this script once a list crosses 5,000 items. This post covers the current, working version

Streamlining SharePoint Add-In Installation with PowerShell

Worth leading with directly, since it changes what this post can actually be about: the classic SharePoint Add-in model (what this post originally covered) is fully retired. Microsoft deprecated it in November 2023 and it stopped functioning in any tenant as of April 2, 2026, with no extension. Any script built around installing a SharePoint
