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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“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 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
