Options on Connecting SharePoint online modules in PowerShell

2 Comments / Office 365, PowerShell, SharePoint /

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

Leave a Comment / JavaScript, Other /

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

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

Leave a Comment / Microsoft Teams, Office 365, Other /

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

Leave a Comment / Office 365, PnP, PowerShell, SharePoint /

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

Leave a Comment / Office 365, PowerShell, SharePoint /

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

Navigating the Maze: Unraveling Common Issues with SharePoint

Leave a Comment / Office 365, SharePoint /

Most “common SharePoint issues” round-ups stop at “here’s a category, here’s generic advice”. Permissions are hard, versioning is confusing, performance can be slow. That’s true and not very actionable. This post is organized the other way: symptom first, then the specific, verifiable cause, then where to actually go for the full fix rather than repeating

Designing a Modern SharePoint Site: Elevate User Experience and Collaboration

Leave a Comment / Office 365, Other, SharePoint, SPFX /

“Modern SharePoint site design” covers more ground than one post can usefully hold, so this one stays narrow: the page-composition layer: the web parts, navigation, and personalization choices that actually shape what a visitor sees and clicks. For the step-by-step of creating and configuring a site in the first place, see A Comprehensive Guide to

Power Automate: Streamlining Workflows for Efficiency and Productivity

Power Automate is included, in a limited form, with most Microsoft 365 plans, which is exactly why the licensing side trips people up. “Included” only covers standard connectors; the moment a flow touches Dataverse, a premium connector, or scheduled RPA, that’s a separate paid tier, and the way that tier gets triggered isn’t always obvious

How to Send an HTTP Request in SharePoint via JavaScript

Leave a Comment / JavaScript, Office 365, Other, PnP, Power Automate, SharePoint, SPFX /

Plain fetch() or XMLHttpRequest work fine for hitting SharePoint’s REST API. The part that’s actually SharePoint-specific isn’t the HTTP call itself, it’s the headers: an Accept header SharePoint’s OData implementation expects, and a request digest token required on anything that isn’t a GET. In this post: A GET request: fetching list items · A POST
