Leave a Comment / Migration, Office 365, Other, Power Automate, PowerShell, SharePoint, SPFX /

Moving SharePoint content between tenants (for a merger, acquisition, or restructuring) has more options than it used to, ranging from a manual drag-and-drop to a native Microsoft-managed pipeline. What you keep (permissions, version history, workflows) varies a lot between them, which is the real deciding factor, not just price. In this post: Native Microsoft 365

XSLT: Transforming XML with Style

Leave a Comment / CSS, JavaScript, Other, SharePoint, Site Design /

XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) transforms XML into another format (HTML, plain text, or different XML) using declarative templates and XPath. Worth leading with directly, since it changes the practical calculus around it: native, client-side XSLT support is being removed from every major browser engine, starting with Chrome in November 2026. This post covers how

Switching Between Classic and Modern Views in SharePoint

Leave a Comment / Office 365, Other, PnP, PowerShell, SharePoint, Site Design /

Worth a direct correction before anything else: `-EnableContentTypes` doesn’t control list experience at all. It toggles whether a list supports multiple content types, an entirely unrelated setting. A script built around it silently changes the wrong thing while doing nothing to actually switch between classic and modern view, with no error to flag the mismatch.

Get SharePoint Site Users: Implementations and Use Cases

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

Knowing who actually has access to a SharePoint site (not who you think has access) is the starting point for any real audit, cleanup, or automation built around user roles. This covers the ways to pull that list programmatically: REST via plain JavaScript or jQuery, PnPjs for SPFx solutions, and PowerShell for admin-scale reporting. In

Breaking SharePoint Permission Inheritance: What It Is and Why It Matters

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

Every site, library, list, and item in SharePoint inherits its permissions from its parent by default. That’s what keeps permission management manageable. Breaking that inheritance lets you set unique permissions at a specific level instead, for the cases where “everyone who can see the parent can see this too” isn’t the right answer. For the

How to Escape Apostrophes in SharePoint REST Queries

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

An apostrophe in a data value (a name like O’Reilly, a title like Harry’s Adventures) breaks a SharePoint REST `$filter` query, because OData uses single quotes as the string delimiter and has no way to tell a literal apostrophe apart from the end of the string. The fix is one specific, verified rule: double the

Rendering SharePoint List Extensions for Specific List Templates

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

Command Sets and Application Customizers scope to specific list templates the same way, through `RegistrationType`/`RegistrationId` in `elements.xml`. Field Customizers don’t. They’re registered against a specific column, not a list template, a genuinely different mechanism worth knowing before assuming one pattern covers all three extension types this post touches on.
