Creating Multiple SharePoint List Items Using SharePoint REST API

Leave a Comment / JavaScript, NodeJS, Other, PnP, SharePoint, SPFX /

Creating many list items in one call means the same SharePoint REST `$batch` endpoint covered from the PnPjs side in SharePoint Data Handling with PnP Batching Queries. Worth reading there for the wire-format details and the real 100-request cap, both of which apply here too. This post stays on the raw `fetch`-based approach specifically, for

Store and Display Dates Properly in JavaScript

Leave a Comment / JavaScript, NodeJS, Other /

Worth leading with directly, since it’s the biggest recent change to this topic: JavaScript now has a native, built-in replacement for the notoriously bad `Date` object. The `Temporal` API reached TC39 Stage 4 (officially part of the language spec) in March 2026 and is already shipping in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge: immutable, timezone-aware, and a

Transforming Office 365 into a Brand Powerhouse with Branding Central

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

Worth a direct correction before anything else: there’s no Microsoft feature actually called “Office 365 Branding Central.” The real, current feature is the SharePoint Brand Center: and its scope is narrower than a unified branding tool spanning Teams, Outlook, and Power BI. It centralizes logos, fonts, and images for SharePoint experiences specifically, plus organization font

How to hide Buttons from SharePoint List or Libraries using JSON in OOTB Format view

Leave a Comment / CSS, JavaScript, NodeJS, Office 365, Other, SharePoint, SPFX /

Out-of-the-box SharePoint list and library views come with a command bar full of buttons (New, Upload, Share, Automate, Power Apps) most of which a given audience doesn’t need and shouldn’t necessarily have. JSON command bar formatting lets you hide, rename, or restyle those buttons without any code. In this post: Applying the JSON format ·

SharePoint Online: Pros and Cons of using Document ID

Leave a Comment / Office 365, Other, SharePoint /

Document ID assigns every document in a site collection a permanent identifier and a stable redirect link that survives moves and renames. Genuinely useful, but with one real limitation worth understanding before relying on it: that persistence only holds within a single site collection, not across them. This post covers how it actually works, the

Custom Tabs: Hillbilly Tabs in Modern SharePoint

Leave a Comment / CSS, JavaScript, NodeJS, Office 365, Other, PnP, SharePoint, Site Context, SPFX /

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

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

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

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
