The old SharePoint Search Query Tool is still pinned on my taskbar. It has been there for years. Last time I wanted to confirm that items from a Copilot connector were actually reaching the search index, and the old tool just sat there. It talks to the SharePoint search REST endpoint, which is a different…
Some of the content your users need lives outside Microsoft 365. Here is how to build a no-code Microsoft Graph connector end to end, including the one visibility setting that trips up almost everyone the first time.
Entra never warns you when an app secret or certificate expires. A short Microsoft Graph PowerShell script that lists every app credential in your tenant, sorted by days left, so you find it before your users do.
Microsoft Search does not rank on keywords alone. How the lexical and semantic indexes, plus your network signals, decide the order, and the settings that control whether content shows at all.
The sharing link is the quietest oversharing vector in SharePoint. It does not appear as a permission on the site. It hides as a SharingLinks.<guid> group that nobody opens, and it outlives the project it was made for by years. Your permissions page can look spotless while a document sits shared with the whole company…
On 5 October 2026, self-service password reset stops accepting contact information it never saw a user register. If your tenant bootstrapped SSPR by syncing phone numbers and emails out of Active Directory, some of your users are about to lose the ability to reset their own password, and nothing on their end will have changed….
Copilot has always waited for you. You ask, it answers, it goes quiet. Microsoft Scout, announced at Build in June, does not wait. It stays on. It runs in the background across Teams, Outlook, OneDrive and SharePoint, and it acts on your behalf without being prompted each time. Microsoft calls this new category an Autopilot,…
For the last year, Copilot in SharePoint was something you switched on. You had to opt in. As of mid-June 2026 that flipped. It is an opt-out preview now, which means if you hold Microsoft 365 Copilot licences and you have not touched the setting, it is already on across your sites. No admin action…
For years, budgeting Copilot was simple. A licence was a flat per-user cost. You multiplied seats by a number and you were done. That is no longer the whole picture. Some Copilot experiences now bill by consumption, measured in Copilot Credits, and consumption does not sit still. Copilot Credits are a common currency for the…
Anyone in your organisation can build a Copilot agent this afternoon. A few clicks in the agent builder, no code, and in most tenants no approval step standing in the way. The uncomfortable part is the next sentence. Most admins cannot tell you how many already exist. That is the next governance problem, and it…
